Color

Just a thought on Color, could we have a flag for heroes versus villains speech? By default make it blue, but say, if someone put a flag in there to offer red for villain speech, etc. Actually, default may be better as red since most of the dialog does seem to come from villains. - Snorii 16:16, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I went ahead and added the option. Maybe it'd be good to have the default be a more "neutral" color? And then you can specify hero/villain to get blue/red? Someone else will have to play with the colors. I'm no good with that part. :D -- Sekoia 16:44, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I was thinking a little lighter, like the divboxes on The Pilgrim's page.

not sure how to combine, but I can look at it a little later today. I like the idea of a neutral color as well, because not everyone is one or the other (DJ Zero, Mender Lazarus, etc) - Snorii 16:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I took another stab at it, what do you think of the hero/villain forms? The neutral hasn't been updated to work the same way yet, because I didn't know which colors to try, lol. -- Sekoia 18:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Great work, Sekoia. Now to get busy adding this template. :D - Snorii 18:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Sweet. :D I just updated the colors for default, hopefully that matches the other two well enough without seeming too heroish. For now at least. -- Sekoia 03:17, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Slightly offtopic, but...

Not particularly related, but think you could make a template for spoilers? That way, instead of reducing information which people could find a bit too revealing (such as say, Countess Crey's true name, or the true Rikti background), we could just hide it in a similiar way to how this template hides dialogue. :D

Oh, and nice work. I'll have a go at using this template on some of the articles I've been working on. :D Sera404 03:21, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sera, there's a thread on the forums about using the hidden stuff for spoilers here: [1] It sounds like people are kinda split on whether we should use hidden for spoilers. Might want to weigh in there with your opinion. If it sounds like there's consensus for using it, I'd be glad to make up a template for it then. :) -- Sekoia 05:50, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
