YPPedia talk:Barnstars

Safe to remove clean up tag yet? It seems to be nicely formatted now. --Angelbeaver 18:41, 9 July 2006 (PDT)
 * It's formatted, but not to the extent of the Wikipedia version; we don't have nearly as many barnstars as they do, but I'd still like to have those table headers ("Image," "What to type," "Description"), which I'm unable to replicate with my lack of table skills (especially since they seem to use some sort of "wikitable" thing with theirs). --Emufarmers 19:43, 9 July 2006 (PDT)
 * I have tidied it up but I may have broken the Template:Barnstar page /e frowns -Shaddowz 14:59, 17 July 2006 (PDT)
 * You havn't broken the template, but the template doesn't come out right, you're correct. --Angelbeaver 15:01, 17 July 2006 (PDT)
 * When I have some more time I can work on it or someone with more wiki-foo can organise it - Shaddowz 15:29, 17 July 2006 (PDT) talk / contribs
 * Are we talking about the hanging part of the 'g' that was broken on IE6? I think I fixed it. --AtteSmythe 15:32, 17 July 2006 (PDT)
 * See this example User_talk:Shaddowz -Shaddowz 15:37, 17 July 2006 (PDT) talk / contribs
 * Ah, got it. There was no closing |} on the table. --AtteSmythe 15:42, 17 July 2006 (PDT)
 * AtteSmythe is now Ranked Ultimate in the Ocean for Wikiformatting. In my defence I created the template at 3am -Shaddowz 15:46, 17 July 2006 (PDT) talk / contribs

To be honest, I'd like to see us handle it the same way they do on Wikipedia. That would call for an individual template for each barnstar, rather than using one and switching out the image as necessary. (This would allow for more customization of award titles, for instance.) I happen to be rather poor with templates, myself, so someone else would have to handle this, or risk my mass boochery.

I'm also not really liking the quoting of Wikipedia text; a link does just fine (particularly since not all of that text is necessarily relevant). I'll show you what I mean in a moment. --Emufarmers 21:20, 17 July 2006 (PDT)
 * Emufarmers I have done what you suggested, and updated (and made new) the templates in a similar way to the Wiki... I'm contemplating putting an example on the page too but I'm thinking it might be a bit cluttered -Shaddowz 12:36, 19 July 2006 (PDT) talk / contribs

Incredible and Ultimate Barnstars
I don't like how these are named in a way which suggests one is better than the other.--Angelbeaver (talk) 17:31, 19 July 2006 (PDT)
 * I'm not sure if there should actually be any built-in title for the templates; just a simple subst template with the image, a box-type thing, and a variable you can leave a message in ought to do it. --Emufarmers 22:10, 19 July 2006 (PDT)
 * I was under the impression that Ultimate & Incredible are pretty much the same thing (alas i may have gotten it wrong), I couldn't think of a better name for the 2 (standard) barnstars :/ -Shaddowz 23:59, 19 July 2006 (PDT) talk / contribs
 * I viewed Ultimate as the best as thats what ultimate meants - best or last. And what happened to that, large number of repetitive edits barnstar? --Angelbeaver (talk) 04:04, 20 July 2006 (PDT)
 * Zava made one. --Featherfin 08:27, 20 July 2006 (PDT)
 * Aye, I meant where is it on this page. PS your link gives a photobucket graphic, it's not there any more. --Angelbeaver (talk) 12:24, 20 July 2006 (PDT)
 * I'd actually deleted that this morning because it was annoying seeing it in my Photobucket account. I just figured nobody liked it but nobody was going to actually TELL me what they didnt like so I could adjust it/try something else. It's re-uploaded here: --Zava 12:48, 20 July 2006 (PDT)
 * Fab, I'll go try my hand at creating a template. --Angelbeaver (talk) 13:02, 20 July 2006 (PDT)


 * I never saw it before, but I chuckled when I saw it today. Likey. --AtteSmythe 13:20, 20 July 2006 (PDT)
 * Yay, small compliments to brighten a majorly crappy day. Thanks guys. :) --Zava 13:49, 20 July 2006 (PDT)
 * Template:Repetitionbarnstar if someone could fix the hanging g that would be nice.--Angelbeaver (talk) 14:11, 20 July 2006 (PDT)
 * Fixed. Same problem as the original template had. IE doesn't render vertical-align:bottom text correctly when there's an hbar under the block. Looked fine under Mozilla. --AtteSmythe 14:16, 20 July 2006 (PDT)
 * Sorry Zava, didn't I tell you I thought it was awesome? :( --Featherfin 14:42, 20 July 2006 (PDT)
 * Okay guys (n gals) I've added the repitition, the repitition barnstar to the main page (also made a minor edit to the Artistic barnstar) Hows the page looking so far ? - Shaddowz 16:51, 20 July 2006 (PDT) talk / contribs
 * The page gets my thumbs up, but I dislike the name of the repetition barnstar. See here.--Angelbeaver (talk) 16:55, 20 July 2006 (PDT)

New Barnstar
Ahoy! I would like to introduce a new barnstar - The portrait barnstar, given to users that spend lots of time adding new portraits to pages etc.
