Battlestar Wiki:CSS

This page is one of Battlestar Wiki's many projects. This page serves to coordinate discussion on a particular aspect of this Wiki. The formal recommendations of a project may be treated as policies.

To help you understand how to use the new "Styles" that have been installed, this reference article has been created to tell you the most basic options on how to create "cross-compatible" elements with all the styles. This happens because each style has their own CSS file and their own colors. So no matter how you look at the elements, they always show up the same way. These are the major ones so that's why they are here.

Creating Infoboxes

Example

class="infoboxheader"
Overall Class:	class="infobox"

• infobox: Always pushes table to the right
• infoboxheader: Highlight a row or cell.

Code

{| class="infobox"
|- class="infoboxheader"
| colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" | class="infoboxheader"
|-
| style="white-space: nowrap;"| '''Overall Class:'''
| class="infobox"
|}

Creating Message Box

Example

Heading Message goes here Message can span multiple lines, but make sure to use <br/> to separate them.

• Heading: Will appear in bold on top of the message box.
• Message: The content of the message box
• ID: ID of the message box. If set, you can jump to the messagebox with PAGENAME#ID
• Image: The image that should be shown in the left column, without the Image: prefix.
• Shortcut: Contents of the shortcut box. If unset, the shortcut box will be hidden.

Code

{{message box
|heading= Heading
|message= Message goes here<br/>Message can span multiple lines, but make sure to use <nowiki><br/></nowiki> to separate them.
|id= messagebox1
|image= BSG_WIKI_Project.png
|shortcut= BW:CSS
}}

Creating Content Boxes

Example

class="contentbox-header"
class="contentbox"

• contentbox: Used on the overall table
• contentbox-th: If you are going to have a table caption, you need this.
• contentbox-header: Used on internal table that is inside "contentbox"

Code

{| class="contentbox" width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5"
! class="contentbox-th" |  <!-- Nothing ever goes here -->
{| class="contentbox-header"
| {{Click|image=BSG WIKI Joe.png|link=#Intro|width=25px|height=25px}}
| class="contentbox-header"
|}
|-
| class="contentbox"
|-
|}
