| With this awesome template done, I'm guessing we can now scrap [[Template:Item]]. [[User:Iamacyborg|Iamacyborg]] ([[User talk:Iamacyborg|talk]]) 16:44, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

| :I agree, great looking template! Now all we need is for someone to implement the js they use over on [[http://www.wowpedia.org wowpedia]] to make mouse-hover links work in the wiki.

| ::Oh wow, I didn't know [[Template:Item]] existed, someone has put a lot of work into that. Seems a shame to just discard it. It is outdated though since the game had a UI overhaul.

| ::About making these show up as tooltips, there is a way to do it without javascript (just pure css), that is slightly less awesome but still gets the job done. I'll give you an example when I get the chance. — [[User:Malice|Malice]] ([[User_talk:Malice|talk]]) 03:02, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

| :::Yeah, I worked the [[Template:Item]] a while back. No one ever used it though and most people, like you Malice, didn't know it existed. Where the hell were you Malice when we needed you months ago?! O well, your new template looks great now! See it in use: [[Unique_Swords]]. How do I center the template within the column?

| :::We really need to get the Fontin Smallcaps font embedded into the wiki somehow. Just look at the difference in the two fonts with [http://imageshack.us/a/img855/2482/fontlr.png IMAGE 1] and [http://imageshack.us/a/img850/8076/nofont.png IMAGE 2] --[[User:FaceLicker|FaceLicker]] ([[User talk:FaceLicker|talk]]) 17:55, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

| I tried to this template as flexible as I could, in case someone want to use it for something other than what it was created for. For instance you could conceivably use it on the main page for the boxes (as shown here), or for just about anything else. But do you think it is easy enough to use? Making an item look right is reasonably complicated. Regular wiki people will be able to get the hang of it, but people with little wiki/html/css experience might be a bit lost. What do you think. — [[User:Malice|Malice]] ([[User_talk:Malice|talk]]) 05:53, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

| :I'm of two minds here. First of all, in regards to using this to replace the boxes on the main page, I have to categorically say no to that option. Any change to the template would then have possibly disturbing repercussions on the look of the main page. As to the complexity of the template, I do feel that it is over the top and is going to be seriously intimidating for new editors. This is something that has to be guarded against, since we always want to promote the ease of editing by ANYONE visiting the wiki. Complexity is also a factor in longevity. I'm glad to see you are providing relative complete documentation, since with any luck, this wiki is going to be around for a LONG time, while editors (you included) will come and go, and in that instance any templates should be easy to understand and modify by the next generation of editors. That's my 2cents. --<small> [[User:Wynthyst|Wynthyst]] [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] [[User talk:Wynthyst|<span style="color:#00B6FF">''talk''</span>]]</small> 18:43, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
