Template talk:Power names

Excellant

That's what I had in mind. That way when someone clicks on Discussion it's like BAM right there. Highlighted in yellow for which magnitude of naming we have achieved. That way we know right off if a suggestion is even worthy of being presented or not.  :) --Mish(Talk) 20:48, 16 November 2007 (EST)

• Good, I'm glad it works. We could even add a variable for things like quotes or which episode it comes from, or a link to the secondary source. I personally think that's probably better suited towards the discussion area, but if we wanted to, we could expand this template very easily. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:50, 16 November 2007 (EST)
  • I'm not familiar with the Wiki markup or I would be happy to do it myself. I think it would be good to be able to cite those things in the table as well. Maybe just one example of where it was used or something.--Mish(Talk) 20:53, 16 November 2007 (EST)
    • I'll add an option at the bottom for a very open-ended source explanation. Incidentally, the wiki code I used is probably not the best...I could have used html table code (<TR>, <TD>, etc.), but I was just too lazy, so I used {{pipe}} instead. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:02, 16 November 2007 (EST)
    • Cool template, Ryan. Nicely made!--MiamiVolts (talk) 20:57, 16 November 2007 (EST)
      • Thanks, but honestly, Hardvice made it, I just added the highlighted parts. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:02, 16 November 2007 (EST)
        • The wording which attempts to explain the highlighting could probably use some tweaking. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:08, 16 November 2007 (EST)
          • Should this be added to every powers talk page? --Rayhond 01:28, 17 November 2007 (EST)
            • That's not a bad idea, Id say so! --SacValleyDweller (talk) 02:09, 17 November 2007 (EST)
              • It certainly wouldn't hurt, but it's not urgent. The sources can of course be found on User:Admin/Power_name_origination if you'd like to add some.--Hardvice (talk) 02:21, 17 November 2007 (EST)

Change...

I named the explanation of source variable to avoid the nasty = problem breaking it. Alot of people may not know &#61 is the valid replacement for an = operator.--Mish(Talk) 13:08, 17 November 2007 (EST)

• It's actually = (with a semicolon in the end). But adding the eos= variable doesn't change anything when it comes to adding links, it only makes adding the explanation that much more bulky and cumbersome. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:37, 17 November 2007 (EST)
  • Actually, it might. I think the template ignores equals signs after the first one (which is why switch: has the #default = option, for cases where the default contains an equals sign) until it encounters a pipe.--Hardvice (talk) 15:09, 17 November 2007 (EST)
    • Ah, yeah, you're right. Looking at the templates in use, the links can have equal signs now. Got it. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:13, 17 November 2007 (EST)
• I like the lower "Sources" box. Sometimes these things just need a womans touch!  :) --Mish(Talk) 16:33, 17 November 2007 (EST)
  • I do too...Who exactly would the woan in question be? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:12, 17 November 2007 (EST)
    • I was just pokin' fun at Dave... --Mish(Talk) 17:15, 17 November 2007 (EST)
      • Oh, well if that's the case, then by all means carry on. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:18, 17 November 2007 (EST)
