Revision as of 15:42, 17 April 2006
Where and how will this be displayed when finished?--The Merovingian 13:37, 15 March 2006 (CST)
- Still working on that. It has to do with the new Main Page design that I worked on. --Shane 21:38, 15 March 2006 (CST)
Boxheader template issues
The biggest outstanding issue is with the boxheader regarding defining the colors for the title/body/borders, etc. --Steelviper 13:23, 15 March 2006 (CST)
- Colors should not, if possible, be specified in the wikicode or the HTML. Ideally, we should use classes to control color, so that these templates may look good across all skins for the Wiki. This might take some coordination with Joe, though. --Day 14:23, 15 March 2006 (CST)
- Didn't he send you the CSS so you could play with that? Anyway, if you can get the colors going, you're welcome to them. I can't even HARDCODE them correctly through all these layers of templates (portal->portal/boxheader->boxheader). --Steelviper 14:36, 15 March 2006 (CST)
- I am going to solict some outside help for this problem. --Shane 10:00, 16 March 2006 (CST)

TOS Cylon Pic
Would you like me to get a screen capture of a close-up of a TOS Centurion? I think that would look better than the DVD box cover. --Steelviper 07:19, 17 March 2006 (CST)
Limiting the universe?
Is this portal to be restricted to the RDM universe? As the wording curently stands, a very large chunk of this page relates only to RDM, not TOS/1980. Anything beyond the 5th sentence, in fact. --Durandal 08:06, 19 March 2006 (CST)
- No. It's unretricited to series. Right now most of the infomration I knew came from the RDM series. Once we get the "boxes" to work with the edit button I can add something about the (TOS) "Toaster" Cylons compared with the RDM Metal Cylons. --Shane (C - E) 10:53, 19 March 2006 (CST)
What's Up With This?
So I was clicking around and seeing what was going on with this (I missed the upgrade and so didn't realize we could begin forward motion again)? This portal is listed as "done" on the project page but looks kind of jacked up to me. Should we move it, or am I missing some detail or... something? --Day (Talk - Admin) 02:41, 17 April 2006 (CDT)
- Correct. This is currently "jacked up". I think Shane dropped it down to one box to simplify the task of troubleshooting why the boxheaders/boxfooters aren't working as designed. I guess this could be safely moved to "not done". --Steelviper 08:15, 17 April 2006 (CDT)
- The introduction text is really poorly written right now. Is the page intended to speak of ALL Cylons, or properly divide the RDM and TOS varieties? I missed the upgrade adjustments as well and so I'm trying to figure in the purpose and advantage of the portals vs their existing articles. --Spencerian 09:52, 17 April 2006 (CDT)
