Battlestar Wiki talk:Think Tank/Cite Templates

BW:Cite

If this goes into effect it'd mainly impact the BW:Cite page (update it to reflect the how to use the templates), and just be a matter of getting them as we see them. It seems like a good idea to me. --Steelviper 14:16, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

I have no problem in importing these templates from Wikipedia. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 16:02, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

I can import them now? --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 18:18, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

No need to rush. Let's wait for more feedback on this from other users. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 18:32, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

As much as I like Joe and often agree with him, he doesn't constitute consensus. I'll have to look at those templates you linked (running out the door now), but I think this is a sound idea. Making the Jihad's job easier is a Good Thing(tm) in my book. And... does anyone else feel often baffled by the use of link-abbreviations in discourse? I mean--BW:CITE is pretty clear, but I had to actually click to figure out what BW:CP meant on another page. Just wondering if I was the only one. --Day ^{(Talk - Admin - SotS)} 10:13, 15 July 2006 (CDT)

BW:SHORT page is getting a huge update. trying to gather them all up. Most shortcuts are two to three letters. CP -- Community Portal. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 12:51, 15 July 2006 (CDT)

And... I had to click to find out what BW:SHORT was. I'm not demanding change of usage, really. I'm just being a crochetey old codger. *wink* --Day ^{(Talk - Admin - SotS)} 20:06, 15 July 2006 (CDT)

You're right, I don't constitute as consensus. :-) I'm just seeing what everyone else thinks. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 20:19, 15 July 2006 (CDT)

Oh. I know you know this, Joe. Hence your councel for waiting to see what others say. I was more responding to Shane's... eagerness. --Day ^{(Talk - Admin - SotS)} 21:37, 15 July 2006 (CDT)

I very much like the idea. It's an excellent example of the utility of templates in encouraging standardization. --CalculatinAvatar^(C-T) 04:37, 24 July 2006 (CDT)
