Talk:Weapon Template

--Tlosk 12:06, 27 April 2008 (CDT) I tried a few but since it's a texture it didn't look too good with any solid browns I tried. The borders on tables don't have fine grain control as far as I've found looking through the documentation. Also anything that's linked would have to have a special font color added to a piped link to make it readable (since the links default to the dark blue even if the rest of the text is colored).

Here's the best example I came up with earlier, I averaged the texture into a single color for the best approximation.

Yeah, I was thinking of ways to reduce some of the clutter on the item tables. This would probably work great. One suggestion though would be to take it one step further - Make the table look more like ID panel. Dark brownish-grey background with white text. And we should obviously do this with all the item templates, not just weapons. --An Adventurer 11:22, 27 April 2008 (CDT)

--Tlosk 08:20, 27 April 2008 (CDT) It seems to me like it's hard to make nice looking tables when there's a lot of disparate info. Would making a template more similar to the in game ID panel be better? Something like this? I think armor might be a good candidate for this as well. This would let it be text searchable/copiable while still being compact and familar enough to be easily parsed when reading. Also I don't know when it will be done but I'm working on making a decal plugin that would be able to pull the majority of the info and add the template formatting so it would be a lot faster for us to add old content.
