| I see this template is in use on [[Adama (TOS)]] ... just an FYI that I see the image ''underneath'' the main logo, rather than over it.

| :::::::::But it '''doesn't''' work perfectly let and has not yet been tested in other browsers such as Opera either.

| |
| ::::::::::: I did read your comment. You claimed that on the pages its been added to its working "perfectly" when its clearly not. That is why it has not yet been put forward to the bots "to do" list just yet.

| Regarding the image... I rather like it. However, it needs to be big enough to eclipse the current logo, and have wording on it. If the wording could be circular, much like the current logo we have, in the same typeface. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 17:28, 18 April 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :The problem arises with the slight variations in how browsers parse the css meaning that the position in IE is slightly different to that of Firefox etc. If you wanted something to completely overlap the current logo then it would have to be much bigger and would also have to link back to the home page as normal rather than linking to the TOS page --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 17:32, 18 April 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :: Yeah, it'd have to be bigger. Also, modifying the template to link back to the main page isn't an issue. It's just creating the actual logo and getting the images to work properly on IE6, and doing testing on Opera. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 17:45, 18 April 2007 (CDT)

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