Template talk:Ship infobox

I tried using this new ship template for the Reaver (ship) page, but it's not showing up correctly when you view the page outside of the source editor. Advice?? Artemaz (talk) 00:21, January 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Ah, my source edit page is jacked compared to the building template page. I'll fix it tomorrow. Artemaz (talk) 00:29, January 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * I see the documentation, but not the actual template. I'll make a draft and you can proof it. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 01:14, January 12, 2016 (UTC)
 * Recommendations: I would shorten notable crewmembers to notable crew and standard armament to just armament. Less wasted space in the cut and paste template, IMHO. Also, beam length should be beam width. Do you really want the "inhabitants", "organizations" and "locations" links? Or was that just a cut and paste from another infobox? I made a quick and dirty template, see what you think on Reaver (ship) and feel free to test it out. Note any changes you want made here. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 01:49, January 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for all of your help with this template Movie! They can be a bit confusing at first. I agree with all of your suggestions regarding shortening to notable crew, armament, and beam width.


 * I do still want the "inhabitants" and "organizations" because I think it's useful to say a captain (or other named crewmember who spends alot of time aboard the ship) can actually be classified as living on the ship. Same for "organizations" if I come across a group of named pirates or such. I think we can remove the "locations" one though since I don't foresee any named locations onboard a ship.

Appearance
Why does this have such a different appearance to the other infoboxes? — BadCatMan (talk) 00:55, April 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * How so?Artemaz (talk) 01:58, April 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * As I saw at Realms Master and sambuk, infobox titles and section titles are left-aligned, left-column entries are bolded, and it's all in shades of grey. — BadCatMan (talk) 02:05, April 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm looking into it. There seems to be a new monobook css file, or perhaps this change didn't get sync'd with monobook. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 03:21, April 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * There ya go, all fixed. You may have to purge the page or clear your cache to see the change. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 03:26, April 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmm, maybe not. The colors are there, but the alignment is off. They have changed something in the matrix. >-(  &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 03:49, April 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, should be fixed for realz this time. Let me know if anything is amiss. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 04:16, April 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks. The formatting's the same as the other infoboxes now, only bright blue. That must be the first time I've seen it. I presume that's the colour scheme we're going with? I'd've gone for a darker shade of blue, myself. — BadCatMan (talk) 05:40, April 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * The discussion took place here and nobody else complained at the time, but feel free to bring it up (it's a little bright IMO also). &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 15:55, April 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * I think I missed that. But I dunno, there's too many possibilities: ocean blue or sea green for sailing ships, sky blue for flying ships. There's even sand-skimming desert sailing ships on the Raurin. :) — BadCatMan (talk) 01:08, April 17, 2016 (UTC)
