Forum:Template Styling

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

After seeing this fantastic new template by DarkHorizon:

Warning! This page contains information regarding the 2009 film, Star Trek, and thus may contain spoilers.

I couldn't help but wonder about our other templates.

To be honest, I find the formatting rather dull. Couldn't we make our maintenance templates (eg. and esp. PNA) look a bit more...well stylish?

They could incorporate a Starfleet or Federation insignia. Possibly, we could come up with a scheme to divide templates so they're divided up between Command, Science, and Operations, with appropriate coloring/insignia (but not too garish).

We could even add quotes, Wookiepedia style. (I would suggest, just the quote with the character name)

Just wanted to throw out a few ideas; I just hope all our templates can look as sleek and professional as the one above. – Cleanse 01:58, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

No. No quotes from characters. That just reeks of... awfulness. -- Sulfur 05:59, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Reminds me of this fiasco. Otherwise, I think that new maintenance templates of the caliber shown above would be too intrusive. --Alan del Beccio 06:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
