The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Forums: Index Watercooler Template proposal

Wasn't really sure how to title this, but anyway, I'd like to propose we modify our old Wikipedia-like templates we have and give them a little originality (admit-ably also further differentiating us from Smushwikia).

It's like this; I'm not saying we make every template have rounded corners like all the other NIWA wikis, rather, give templates an image base.

Visual example:


As you might have assumed, best use of this is for navboxes. Infoboxes may have a harder time getting the coding and coloring right.

Now, how exactly do they look in mainspace?

Of course, given font colors, readability is a win or lose.

I'd like to test this on Smashwiki too but I'll need an admin to modify the MediaWiki:Common.css with the following:

.finaldest {
   background-color: #006400;
   background-image: url(images/archive/9/98/20110705132637!Finaldestination.jpg);
}


For a Melee FD overlay.

I'll be sure to test it out when I can but for the moment, what do you guys think of the idea? HavocReaper 14:17, 23 August 2011 (EDT)

I highly dislike the concept of using images for backgrounds of areas that include text, so to be honest I don't feel much like helping.
In terms of making things more differentiated though, I have been doing some messing around offline with minor style changes; the main problem is I can't test anything in real-time without deleting everything that's already active first, so that's why I haven't publicized it. It looks kind of like this. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Jiggy 14:38, 23 August 2011 (EDT)
I disagree with Toomai, and Support HavocReaper48's idea. DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 19:03, 23 August 2011 (EDT)

Oppose. We don't need more clutter. Miles (talk) 20:16, 23 August 2011 (EDT)
