Template talk:Familiar winner

Two things: (1) It'd be great if someone converted Midnight and Cobalt to use this template. (2) Someone with more aesthetic sense should try to improve the layout of this template. --Barrister 02:18, 22 October 2005 (PDT)
 * A possible thing to do would be to split the familiar tables into individuals hehe. I'll ponder it while I complain bitterly to myself about cleaning my apartment. :) aka I'll probably do it this weekend. --Guppymomma 10:03, 22 October 2005 (PDT)
 * I've done the monkeys and octopi. I've fixed the image of the parrots so the background is transparent, but have not started to crop them.  As images don't work with / in 'em the names will be Parrot-headcolor-bodycolor.png unless someone can think of a better method.  Also if anyone else wants to help crop, I've uploaded the image (removed).  Don't forget to use alpha transparency and leave a single empty pixel wide border on all sides of the parrot.  --Guppymomma 15:22, 22 October 2005 (PDT)
 * I'll do a few of these, at least until they drive me crazy.  19:10, 22 October 2005 (PDT)
 * Oooo, they're all done if you've got up to & including maroon. Thanks, Yaten. --Guppymomma 21:27, 22 October 2005 (PDT)

I'm thinking of adding another field of "current owner" - it may result in a few unknowns and swaps, but I feel it will make the guide more informative. Comments? --Piplicus 04:46, 20 November 2005 (PST)
 * No objection. Just don't auto-link the new owner.  The current owner may not be especially notable.  --Barrister 09:17, 20 November 2005 (PST)

Proposal:Optional auto-link
I'm thinking we should add a new parameter for whether or not to link the name. There are some cases where auto-linking isn't appropriate, such as team names (one of the team-based events on the Midnight Familiars page), and cases in which the winner of a familiar contest deleted their pirate (the case for Jellomold). Since our preference is to auto-link, the default would be yes.

Course, this can be done by simply removing the link from the template, and converting all of the familiar pages...but this proposal is less work ;). I'll give it a few days before I do anything. --Thunderbird 00:54, 9 July 2006 (PDT)
