Possibly due to the recent layout changes, the icon is now displayed too low and a bit too far to the right. See for example [[Adama (TOS)]]. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 11:06, 8 March 2008 (CST)
We should update all infoboxs to include the series icon, so we can remove this template which is just an annoyance when it comes to CSS. [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 13:00, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

:::Mhh, weird. Still the same here. I'm using Firefox 2 and did a proper refresh of the page. In IE7 it's also off, but to the top and slightly to the right O_o.

The weirdness continues: the emblem is now off in all three skins, and is off by a different margin in each skin: [{{fullurl:Apollo (TOS)|useskin=battlestar}} battlestar], [{{fullurl:Apollo (TOS)|useskin=bsgbook}} bsgbook], [{{fullurl:Apollo (TOS)|useskin=bsgmonobook}} bsgmonobook]. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 10:41, 11 March 2008 (CDT)

== Switches ==
 
Please note that this template does use switches for certain articles. For example, to link to the [[Twelve Colonies of Man]], one may use:
 
: <nowiki>{{TOS|Twelve Colonies}}</nowiki>
 
Which produces: {{TOS|Twelve Colonies}}
 
=== Piped Variation ===
 
The "seen" text in the link can be defined by the inclusion of a 2nd variable call, thus:
 
: <nowiki>{{TOS|Twelve Colonies|the Colonies}}</nowiki>
 
Which produces: {{TOS|Twelve Colonies|the Colonies}}
 
There will probably be more, but this is a start for now. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 00:36, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Deletion

We should update all infoboxs to include the series icon, so we can remove this template which is just an annoyance when it comes to CSS. Shane (talk) 13:00, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. The only downside is that not every TOS page has an infobox. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 16:32, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
So while rolling the dice I've run into some TOS articles that aren't using this template. I've added it to one or two more but now that I see this discussion, I wonder: are we not using this template anymore? JubalHarshaw 19:51, 18 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Support and endorse the template deletion. It's long overdue. — Starkiller | reply here 23:24, 6 September 2013 (EDT)

Switches

Please note that this template does use switches for certain articles. For example, to link to the Twelve Colonies of Man, one may use:

{{TOS|Twelve Colonies}}

Which produces: Twelve Colonies of Man

Piped Variation

The "seen" text in the link can be defined by the inclusion of a 2nd variable call, thus:

{{TOS|Twelve Colonies|the Colonies}}

Which produces: the Colonies

There will probably be more, but this is a start for now. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 00:36, 6 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
