Battlestar Wiki:Think Tank/CSS Layout

This is the overview. Basically, a summary of what the idea is about. You can get into the details later on.

CSS Layout

Why?

The design has been done for a while. Not a lot of people commented it on BW:MAIN so I am moving it here. You would have to browse the few pages ont he Hanger Bay to get an idea of what certain elements would look like. Suggestions can be made on the "Colors" used and "style" used. There are limitations, but you have to remember that one thing changes, sometimes more than one things has to change to make sure it's all the same.

Questions

1. What is the benefit of this proposal to the wiki? Keeps the Wiki in a uniform so things look the same throughout all the same pages.
2. What is involved in implementing this idea? Joe has to upload the "files" to the server. Once activated the templates and any staic items need to be changed, but that won't be done until the BW:CSS page is created.
3. Who is going to do it? everyone uses CSS, but this is for mostly backend design.
4. Why should we do it at all? Because there is no standerization on the "use" of colors and having a "shortcut" for styling, keeps everything in-sync
5. How will we use the idea? There will be a BW:CSS page explaining the different CSS classes that can be used with examples.. This can be done even without having this "Style" being the default. All I need is for it to be installed so I can set my "style" to this and then after it's done.. it can be shared.
6. Should the proposal pass, when will work start on this idea? Right away...
7. Where will this idea be implemented? The Whole Wiki
