Template talk:The War of the Worlds

Color
That red is way too vibrant. I think for the size of this template it's a bit much on the eyes, and something a bit more subtler should be used.  BIGNOLE    (Question?)  (What I do)  23:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Wow just seen it and I think it has burnt into my retinas. A blue or a grey would seem best. (Emperor 00:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC))


 * Are you after a red color? Because, changing to certain color backgrounds and not changing text color can cause problems too. The burdundy-esque color you have now doesn't contrast well with the text, it makes it hard to read clearly. I suggest Category:Shades of red, if red is what you are interested it using. Otherwise, the List of colors page will help you have other variants.  BIGNOLE    (Question?)  (What I do)  00:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * How about Tea green? Martians? Green? Tea green is white with a hint of green. Give it a shot. (Emperor 01:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC))


 * Oh yeah, that's much easier on the eyes, and the text comes in clear too. Also, I like the "allusion" to the Martians. Subtle.  BIGNOLE    (Question?)  (What I do)  01:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah that works fine. (Emperor 02:07, 7 March 2007 (UTC))

Formatting
Could I suggest using two columns which would reduce the height? Also add in the hide fucntionality. I've worked on these: Template:Alien, Template: Judge Dredd. They use the formatting I suggest and work OK accordingly. I am familiar with the code and can sort it out if it was given the thumbs up. (Emperor 00:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC))


 * I've added the template headers (navigation and hiding) and converting things to CSS. As mentioned above moving to 2 columns (as was done by a previous editor) has really helped tighten things up and reduced the vertical height. (Emperor 01:14, 16 March 2007 (UTC))

Talking About Other Martian objects
The template lists every Martian object other than the cylinders. Maybe someone could fix that by writing an article on it. Montgomery' 39 13:49, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
