Template talk:Sidebar actor

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

[edit] Why mention sex?

I don't believe it is necessary to mention the actor's/actress' sex... not unless there is contention in that regard...:) -- – The Head of the Obsidian Order 18:39, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Bots and search tools use the site as a data source, and they can't determine from a picture what the gender is. Among other reasons. --Bp 18:51, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Have there been any actors that cross-dressed for a character of any series Star Trek series? Editor3000 02:21, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Kind of off-topic, but yes, there have. Armin Shimerman became she-Quark for the best-left-forgotten DS9 episode "Profit and Lace", and Brent Spiner briefly became Annie Meyers near the end of TNG: "A Fistful of Datas". (I'm still waiting for the sequel, "For a Few Datas More"). --From Andoria with Love 05:51, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

There's two reasons to site gender in the sidebar. At least for those characters. Editor3000 11:53, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Very nice. ;) --From Andoria with Love 23:28, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] captions

Would someone smarter than me set the template to where the word "caption" does not actually appear in the sidebar? Thanks! --From Andoria with Love 09:37, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Done – Morder 10:34, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Great work. :) --From Andoria with Love 06:49, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Realworld

for some reason the new template for Template:At seems to have broken this sidebar. Not sure what it was but removing {{realworld}} seemed to fix it...someone want to take a look at it? — Morder 14:35, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

It's a double template thing. {{at}} seems to have issues with presenting them when they're doubled. -- sulfur 14:52, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
