Template talk:Activity list

Design comments
The arrow thing looks a bit odd. An asterisk seems more appropriate and recognized or you could use fn. It looks a bit silly to have the ocean name repeated in all of the columns. Perhaps just an X for the ones where that list exists? --Guppymomma 10:54, 3 January 2007 (PST)


 * Is it possible to have an image linking to a page using wikicode? I was originally going to do that, but couldn't find how to do it. --Piplicus 10:56, 3 January 2007 (PST)


 * Not easily. I know you can do div thingees like Faulkston's commodity map/chart thing that's on here somewhere.  --Guppymomma 10:58, 3 January 2007 (PST)

Flotilla Lovers?
FLOM FLOC FLOV FLOS FLOH anyone? Based on Flotilla Hunters of Sage which should probably be renamed. You don't exactly hunt for Flotillas, as they appear on Ye known world. --Sagacious (talk) 09:19, 4 June 2007 (PDT)
 * I just added these. What we need, though, is an icon that doesn't change the color of the bar.  :/  Does anyone have this? Sashamorning 10:11, 20 June 2007 (PDT)

Sea monsters Lovers?
Maybe we should have an entry here listing mateys that want to "hunt" Sea creatures, same as Flotilla? I'm sure we could get the sea creature icon
 * I was thinking the same think, I believe we could use the Man-At-Arms icon. --Inschato 20:37, 8 September 2007 (PDT)

Category Lists
Is there a good reason why every page including this template is in the category Lists ? Or rephrased, shouldn't the category tag outside of the noinclude be deleted ? --Alfwyn 13:43, 20 February 2008 (PST)
 * My guess is it was intended to make it so the individual articles it links to did not have to be put in the lists category. However, some of the articles using this template do not belong in the Lists category, so hmm. --Thunderbird 14:24, 20 February 2008 (PST)

Rejiggering design slightly
I'm going to remove the first column of icons. Enough of the ocean columns have all of them that it's quite obvious and the first column with them isn't adding any useful information. --Guppymomma 14:01, 5 May 2008 (PDT)
 * Sounds good. I was slightly concerned about the width when I added the new ocean column which is why I shrunk the width of each ocean column slightly.  -- Cedarwings (talk) 14:05, 5 May 2008 (PDT)

Lists for former oceans -- Mark as "obsolete" ??
I've been seeing people update the various "activity lists" for the former (i.e. pre-merge) oceans. I believe we should mark all of those lists as "obsolete" since those oceans no longer exist. (Instead, they should be using the activity lists for the "new" oceans.)

I'm willing to do this leg-work myself. I just wanted to get a consensus first, before diving in. ;-)

Thanks! -- Franklincain (t/c) 13:05, 7 July 2012 (PDT)
 * I can agree with that. I think in general, that anything that refers to old oceans such as Sage etc. and is patently out of date now that the ocean merge has occurred, should get a tag of Obsolete. Chupchup 14:21, 7 July 2012 (PDT)


 * The only links to them that I can find (aside from the occasional odd redirect) are the disambiguation pages (which probably should be updated to list the new oceans, and might be a more productive way of preventing the edits). Additionally, the obsolete tag should really be used for actual in-game things that no longer exist, not for a page that just serves as a handy reference (and can still be used as a reference, in fact, particularly the memming lists). The oceans are obsolete, not the players themselves who may still be interested but just haven't thought about moving their names. --Fannon 14:37, 7 July 2012 (PDT)


 * Updating those disambiguation pages, plus the list pages themselves, to point to the "current" list pages proper, does sound like a more direct solution. ;-)  Presuming no one objects, I can start on that.  Thanks, all.  -- Franklincain (t/c) 21:04, 7 July 2012 (PDT)


 * If by "the list pages themselves" you're talking about the "old" activity list pages (i.e. Werewolf hunters across Viridian), I don't think you need bother. If they manage to get to the page directly after we've updated the disambiguation pages, it'll have taken some effort on their part and I don't see them being deterred. The updated activity template is already at the bottom of every one of those pages to provide links to the new versions. --Fannon 21:42, 7 July 2012 (PDT)

Icon needed for Haunted Seas
Would someone with the graphics expertise mind crafting an Icon-sized Barnabas skull icon for the new "HS Explorers" please? Thanks! -- Franklincain (t/c) 13:04, 31 July 2012 (PDT)
