Item Template

With this awesome template done, I'm guessing we can now scrap Template:Item. 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 [wowpedia] to make mouse-hover links work in the wiki. [example] -- Nightblade (talk) 00:40, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

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 It is outdated though since the game had a UI overhaul.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. — Malice (talk) 03:02, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Oooh, I can't wait! :) (I think wowpedia's js uses ajax btw.) --Nightblade (talk) 04:40, 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 IMAGE 1 and IMAGE 2 --FaceLicker (talk) 17:55, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Complexity

Template:Hover 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. — Malice (talk) 05:53, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
