Template talk:Era

Work in Progress

Made a start on these. I'll work on the Featured and Good eras, along with some others, tomorrow. Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 06:57, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

This is just a suggestion, but I think it would be great if you can make the icons to have a round-tip instead of sharp one. Just a suggestion though. :D - SilverSummoner^TaLk 07:04, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

This is to replace manual categorizing, save for those not on the list, right? --Silver Mage Ω 08:55, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

I believe this is solely for aesthetic purpose~ O.o or maybe I'm wrong. - SilverSummoner^TaLk 08:59, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

This is correct. The Eras are an addition to the bottom-page categories. The Eras don't actually add an article to a category, it's just convenient and aestheticly nice. And sure, I'll look into round tips tonight when I get back from work. --Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 14:08, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

We need added icon for good articles too. -- D. Cello 18:33, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry, I got it all. I'm at work right now so just give me a couple hours. --Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 18:38, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Heading Line

I noticed on my work computer the title line runs through the Eras. This could be because my work PC sucks and often doesn;t display things correctly, but if anyone else has a similar issue let me know. --Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 14:36, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Are you using IE? - SilverSummoner^TaLk 14:45, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, yes! --Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 14:55, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

That's the answer, dude. IE sucks. Use Google Chrome or Firefox! :D - SilverSummoner^TaLk 15:00, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

I always do! Unfortunately I don't get the option at work, lawl. --Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 15:08, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Images

I really like this template. However, I sometimes am quite confused about which of them "Assassins" is and which "characters" is. Perhaps we could change the one of the Assassins to the Assassins' logo, and the one of the Characters to... I don't know... a civilian perhaps? Should make it less confusing, and I'm sure it is not just me who is confused. -- Master Sima Yi 17:14, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the input. I'll change the Characters icon for sure. I'm going to keep the Assassins one as it is for now because I'm using the logo for the games, and frankly that's the best way to summarize them in one little icon. I guess I could always just use the abbreviations "AC" and "AC2" for the games, but I like the idea of using the official logos for icons. However, since I know it generally makes sense as we're using the cross for Templars and Abstergo logo for Abstergo employees, I'll do some tinkering and see what I can do to improve them. Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 17:24, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I think the Abstergo section is kind of unnecesary. Abstergo is just a cover for the Templars and one of their main fronts. I think you should just leave it at Templars. -- Master Sima Yi 17:32, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

*Shrug* It's there just in case it's ever needed. The beauty of Eras is that they can remain in the template but not be active. --Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 17:36, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

I know. I was just giving my personal opinion. And thanks for changing the Characters image, this is so much better. Thanks! -- Master Sima Yi 17:40, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Not a problem, that's what I'm here for! While on the topic of Abstergo, the icon doesn't just have to be used for characters. If there's any locations or poducts that are directly linked to Abstergo, it can be used for them. And since Abstergo is a contemporary creation, it's can be used to define certain subjects. For example, Robert was a Templar, but not a member of Abstergo. Just a suggestion. --Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 17:45, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

I know what you mean. I don't have any problems with it :). -- Master Sima Yi 17:48, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Period Eras

Alrighty, I'm giving everyone a chance to speak up and let me know what they'd like to see used for the time period Eras. I was originally going to use architecture specific to that time period, or I could do something symbolic, say for example the Mona Lisa for the Renaissance Era. Any thoughts? --Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 17:55, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
