Would these be better named {{Pro}} and {{Con}}, rather then {{Plus}} and {{Minus}}? -Lөvөl 16:22, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

  • Probably. You'll also need a usage section to explain how to use the template. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:50, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
    • ...and make it so it works. All I'm getting now is, um, nothing but a new bullet: + RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:22, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
      • Yeah, same with me + Heroe(talk) 20:26, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
      • Yeah, MediaWiki isn't allowing me to use CSS to change the bullet style, so I'm going to have to fake it. If it was ready to go, I would have said something.  :) --Hardvice (talk) 23:04, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

Still not working

It's still not turning green for me. I don't have time to fix it now. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 07:28, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

Page Break auto?

Think we should automatically have a page break for the template? The only reason why I ask it is because a) it's only used in the theories, b) using a nextline doesn't produce a page break everytime, and c) people still don't try either. I wouldn't mind clearing out the tables of <br>'s.--Bob 03:23, 15 August 2007 (EDT)

  • I don't see anything wrong with the idea...if you want to be the one to spend the time working on it. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 09:11, 15 August 2007 (EDT)
    • Sounds like a good idea. Just a reminder: If you do this on Template:Plus, remember to do it on Template:Minus and Template:Note as well.--MiamiVolts (talk) 14:17, 15 August 2007 (EDT)
  • On second though, I probably shouldn't. When using the indent ( : ), it has to be at the beginning of a new line. So, if you do
+ This

it won't be clean with the page break automatically in the template. I'd prefer leaving the indentation alone, since it's used on other pages than the theories page.--Bob 15:30, 15 August 2007 (EDT)

  • You could make the line break optional and/or add an option for indentation into the template.--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:07, 15 August 2007 (EDT)
  • Not that it really matters to me one way or the other, but if that's the only reason keeping you from adding the automatic line break, there's two things to consider. First, indents are not necessary on the theories pages. Second, you could always make indenting an option. The addition of a simple #if: statement will allow you easily keep the indent as a variable so all you have to type is something like {{plus|:}}. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:12, 15 August 2007 (EDT)
    • Hmm, does just by listing an option mean it's true inside a template? I didn't know that.--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:18, 15 August 2007 (EDT)
Theory Citations Notes
Including line breaks and indents in the template is a good idea. See Theories:Evolved Humans + Including the line breaks takes away a lot of unneeded code.
+ Indents can be included, too.
+ This is a test of multiple indent.
+ Up to three indents are possible with Template:Plus/RGS, and it may be silly but...
+ ...Template:Plus/Test can do infinite indent....
+ ...as well as single indent and has a no-break option.

- Bob doesn't have as much work to do any more. ;)
Seems like a draw to Ryan. He'd stick with the original version.

In all honesty, I think we should just leave well enough alone. It's not perfect, but including more code will make the page even messier and will just make the page bigger. I don't think it's worth it. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:43, 15 August 2007 (EDT)

  • Then again, it's working now and I don't think it's messier.--MiamiVolts (talk) 19:06, 15 August 2007 (EDT)
