View source for Template talk:Separate continuity

== Improved version ==

I've created an improved version of this template [[User:Catrope/Template:Separate continuity|here]]. A sandbox for testing this template is [[User:Catrope/Testing Template|here]], where you are free to add tests (but please do not remove existing ones).

The changes I made are:
* Replaced <code>rdm=Y</code> and friends with <code>universe=RDM</code>.
* Added the '''universe2''' parameter which allows for a second universe to be displayed
* Rephrased the contents of the infobox
* Added the '''cont''' parameter that displays the name of the continuity in the infobox.
** Use '''lcont''' for an alternate link target

So tell me what you think. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 13:06, 29 June 2007 (CDT)
:Looks very good, Catrope...answers a handful of issues. Should be flexible enough. I'd like to try this out on the [[Battlestar Galactica: Cylon Apocalypse 1]] and [[Battlestar Galactica 1]] articles to see how they work. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 15:40, 29 June 2007 (CDT)
What do the others think? If it turns out most people favor the new design, you can implement it by copying the full contents of [[User:Catrope/Template:Separate continuity]] to [[Template:Separate continuity]] (I'll be away for three weeks starting tomorrow, so I'll likely be unable). After that you are free to delete [[User:Catrope/Template:Separate continuity]], but please do NOT delete my sandbox at [[User:Catrope/Testing Template]]. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 09:25, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

::<nowiki><Vaderspeak></nowiki>''Excellent''. With this template, we will become the ultimate power in the ''Battlestar'' universe. Oh. Wait. ''We are?'' Oh. Right, then. Bring me a coffee.<nowiki></Vaderspeak></nowiki>.{{unsigned|Spencerian}}
:::Yeah, I've begun to go through all the articles that include the template; upwards of 250. I've worked my way through most of them, and it's given me a good opportunity to spruce them up a bit, such as conventionizing them and removing the copyvios (namely the old BSG books, where the content was clearly ripped from the now-offline Sheba's Galaxy website). -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 21:17, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
::::Looks very good; the template makes cross-refs between publishers and universes very nice to do. It really sets off the specifics of the article and its significance without being overly crazy to understand. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 16:49, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
:This is great news, I had som trouble a while back trying to get the old template to show RDM and TOS both. --[[User:BklynBruzer|BklynBruzer]] 23:39, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
