Template talk:Separate continuity: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:06, 29 June 2007

Thanks for making this, Shane. I added text to clarify as many people may not know or be confused by our "RDM", "TOS" or "1980" notations here. If this creates a formatting problem with the template, let me know. I'll give it a try on the first comics article as soon as Mercifull has an icon. --Spencerian 19:35, 5 June 2006 (CDT)

I changed the format adding the "qif" template. Keeps it small. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 07:09, 6 June 2006 (CDT)

Any other ideas for the icon? I'm liking the whole "mirror universe" goatee beard icon but just wanna see other peoples views first. --Mercifull 03:25, 6 June 2006 (CDT)

The "evil" (or more appropriately, opposite) twin in the alternate universe has a goatee. Even in South Park. --Steelviper 07:45, 6 June 2006 (CDT)

Shane, how do you use the template? I tried it in the sandbox. I expected that only the "Y"-selected series name would appear in the template, but that didn't happen. What if there are multiple connections to two series (as the video game is)? --Spencerian 13:14, 6 June 2006 (CDT)

I fixed the issue. It had to do with the qif syntax. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 18:33, 9 June 2006 (CDT)

I always seem to do that. lol. I added the series in the Separate continuity category so everything is kept seperate. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 18:40, 9 June 2006 (CDT)

Nice update Spenc. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 17:46, 19 August 2006 (CDT)

Thanks for maintaining this and other templates! --Spencerian 10:14, 20 August 2006 (CDT)

Improved version

I've created an improved version of this template here. A sandbox for testing this template is here, where you are free to add tests (but please do not remove existing ones).

The changes I made are:

Replaced rdm=Y and friends with universe=RDM.
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. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 13:06, 29 June 2007 (CDT)
