Deletion

Latest comment: 15 years ago4 comments3 people in discussion

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

Not really. It's one I hate messing with the CSS on. Shane (talk) 05:08, 19 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

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

Switches

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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

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:

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

-:You might have jumped the gun a little bit as others were still discussing the particulars, but in practice it looks very good, and the brighter badge right over the Bird fits well. If there is any issue, I figure we can disable the template, and it will be ignored on any page. Nice work. I'd rather have some boldness in ventures that keep some love on TOS articles (thus the purpose of the project). -- [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 07:42, 18 April 2007 (CDT) <sup>([[User_Talk:Spencerian|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Spencerian|Contribs]] - [[Special:Editcount/Spencerian|WonderNumbers]])</sup>
