Forum:Updated VIP Template

Forums: Index > Watercooler > Updated VIP Template

I am looking for feedback on a new VIP template. I ran into some gaps when I was creating the page for Ivan Wolfe, and wanted a more detailed template that could include military server and other than one position. This is what I have developed: Template:VIP/sandbox

The new template was created so that it would work with the existing entries seemlessly, so they will not need to be rewritten due to this, but they will change format.

If comfortable please let me know and I will place the sandbox contents over the main template. --Snyder1986 (talk) 22:43, 28 February 2023 (EST)

This looks just wonderful. I really like this. There are two items that could be fixed.

Instead of having office1, office2, office3 list of parameters instead create an "vip_office" template to capture and format that information. Then you can use anonymous parameters ({{{1}}}) to include them. See the Sources template for how this works. This way we can extend the number of offices held without breaking the existing ones.

Second, we're trying to have the color boxes use rounded corners. If you can't find how to do this from the existing templates (it's a CSS setting) let me know and I'll dig up the exact changes.
