Template talk:Ultima-Sidebar

Template created
Ok, I've made the template and updated it from the initial placeholder styling to a more modern, stylistic version. I also made a logo on the style of the Ultima games (I've placed it under creative commons licence, feel free to use it whereever with attribution to me). The only thing I didn't manage to do was place the v-e-t (view-edit-talk) float in front of the logo without moving it down. Also, come to think of it, I don't know how to link to the edit page... Anyone who can help with this? Miqademus (talk) 16:12, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * it's kinda big and disruptive to articles it's in (look atwhat it does to the Ultima 4 article for example) does anyone think it would be better as a bottom bar than a side bar? harlock_jds (talk) 22:55, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree. I think a better solution would be to add add to Ultima the remaining articles not found there.  Pagra shtak  17:54, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I scaled down the size and width of the template. I personally think that a sidebar template offers convenience, aesthetics and a much-needed sense of commonality and "portalness" to the Ultima articles. The new size I find suitable and non-intrusive. It also has the not-to-be-underestimated advantage of prominently presenting the Ultima logo. However, the articles of the games themselves, which already have a game info template to the top right, might be more suitably served by and augmented version of the old bottom template.

 * it was really messing up the format of the Ultima Game pages so it shouldn't go on there untill it can play nice with the other sidebar infobox harlock_jds (talk) 14:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I have made another template called "Ultima-Mini" that can be placed inside the navbox of the respective games' pages. Please tell me what you think of it. Miqademus (talk) 17:26, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
