Template talk:Skill bar 2

Use in erticles

I don't think we should use this template in main namespace articles. It looks nice, but it hides the skill names, impeding readability. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 02:55, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

It provides them as tooltips. This is an improvement in my mind. Other things I'm not so happy with, like the ornamentation. Does nothing to help readers. It's ood and fine for userpages, where people should do things they think makes the page pretty, but not mainspace. Backsword 03:18, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

IMO having skill names in an article which are only displayed as tooltips is less convenient than having skill names which are always displayed. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 03:37, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I would agree with Gordon, the skill names need to be visible. -- Wyn 03:44, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Okay... this doesn't make any tiniest bit of sense. Ɲoɕʈɋɽɕɧ 15:58, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Why not? poke | talk 15:59, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

A mind recognizes pictures, symbols and such by far better and easier than text. Ɲoɕʈɋɽɕɧ 16:01, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Some people don't know all the skill images, and the text would help and complement the images either way. -- Brains12 \ talk 16:03, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

As said above, pictures have alttext. Also they link to skill pages. Finally, why having a horribly ugly skill bar template when you can just use the asterik lists? Ɲoɕʈɋɽɕɧ 16:05, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Is this available for public use? (uses anyway) Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә & ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 01:55, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean with public use? You can use it wherever you want on this wiki. poke | talk 06:18, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

That's what I meant, thanks. Are there any weapon-slot templates? Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә & ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 20:29, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Don't think we have those, might be a bit too ambiguous with only the icons anyway. But feel free to create one (or make others create one) :) poke | talk 21:34, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Where can I go to learn how to make my own templates? It looks like a bit more than typing in parameters. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә & ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 23:23, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually the best way to start is without thinking of templates. You just start a page and try to design what it should look like at the end (with example values). Then when it works you can replace the variable things with parameters: {{{name|default}}} would add contain the value of the parameter "name" that is passed to the template or "default" if the parameter was not passed. Everything beyond that is only wiki or html coding. See also this help page. If you need any help, feel free to ask :) poke | talk 23:40, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

I want to try and make a weapon slot template like the one in-game, where you put in the name of a weapon and it shows up on the slot. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 00:09, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Do you have any idea where I could find the elite frame used here as a transparent image file? Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 20:40, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Special:ListTransclusions/Template:Skill bar 2 shows all images used by the template. poke | talk 20:49, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch :) Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 21:06, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Size

is there any way to make it smaller, even a tad bit.. as where I would like it placed in my pages, causes the page to stretch too much. - Stimpson J Kat 07:03, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
