Current issues

New Infoboxes?

I have created a new template Template:Infobox User is it ok to make new infoboxes? I just thought it would be good to add some consistency to the user pages. You can see it used at my user page. Gingerblokey 2 August 2005 01:39 (GMT)


While I doubt everyone would want a user infobox as thorough as my own, the one you've provided seems a bit smallish. Mayhaps you should check my profile linked here in my signature to see what I'm talking about. Galdago 04:12, 15 August 2005 (GMT)


Its fine to make new infoboxes, linkboxes, or any other templates. its something I do all the time. --swilatia 12:41, 2 March 2006 (GMT)

Battle Info Box?

Hey sorry if this isn't in the correct place but I'm planning to write up a series of articles for the War of Golden Succession because it's too long to be put into one thread. In effect, the main thread will be an index thread to the different battles and such. And, with that said, I was wondering if we could make an infobox that looked a little like this [of Kursk], although I guess the bottom links aren't needed. Frankly, I don't know how to make tables too well, and since we have a lot of articles concerning battles I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to add a new info box. If not, then go ahead and delete this, but I would appreciate it if someone dropped in the coding [in my usertalk page] to make that table, if it was at all possible. Thanks. 68.101.132.72 00:44, 17 November 2005 (GMT)

There's a box on Wars already >> Template:WarBox << that, in my opinion, has been constructed in a way that it can double as a summary infobox on an individual battle. --Pacitalkia 01:24, 17 November 2005 (GMT)

Population updates

Bringing this over from the Village pump

Population Updates... Well, not needed

It's annoying. Seriously, there is no need to update the goddamn population of $Alliance or $Nation every week (Or day, for that matter). One can get around that (Well, I do, anyway), and it prevents ludicrous editspamming. And 'RAWR! BIG POPULATION! I R BIG!' masturbation, while I'm at it.

So, I wonder if that could be, uh... Stopped? Voluntarily? Or not?

Sorry, this should be somewhat more elaborate, and possibly nice, but its past midnight. Might elaborate further, tom... Today. Rezo 23:17, 20 Nov 2004 (GMT)


Agreed. I feel this constant population updating should be banned on grounds of being immensely irritating. People can put down "around three billion" or something. It is annoying. Until we find a way to directly show population, that is. -- |Knoot|KNOOtalk 23:22, 20 Nov 2004 (GMT)

I'd love to find a way to use the XML feed for populations, delegates, flags, all that sort of thing ... but it doesn't look like MediaWiki will accept translation. If anyone can find a way to do it, I'd be delighted to update the templates so there is no further need, ever. [[User:Frisbeeteria|
