How do you make them? I was thinking of setting up some for Enemy Unknown (2012), namely one for base buildings/addons, one for all equipment (backpack equipment, weapons and armor), one for Aliens, one for Classes, etc. etc. Leman Russ 18:16, 19 April 2013 (EDT)
- Easiest way is to use an already existing template to create a new one, such as Template:Organizations_Navbar, which gives you this:
Or, if you click to edit the code:
<table width="75%" {{stdTable}} cellpadding="3" border="1">
<tr {{stdTable Sub_Heading}}><td colspan ="2">{{Apoc Icon}} <b>[[Apoc_Table|X-COM: Apocalypse]]:</b> [[Organizations]]</td></tr>
<tr><td width="80"><b>The Good:</b></td><td>[[Image:Apoc_xcom.png]] [[X-COM (Apocalypse)|X-COM]] [[Image:Apoc_govt.png]] [[Government]] [[Image:Apoc_megapol.png]] [[Megapol]]</td></tr>
<tr><td><b>The Bad:</b></td><td>[[Image:Apoc_aliens.png]] [[Aliens (Apocalypse)|Alien]] [[Image:Apoc_sirius.png]] [[Cult of Sirius]]</td></tr>

</table> To create the template, just write the link for it, for instance Template: Aliens (EU2012), click and start editing. Just edit/replace/add what you want. After you've done a template, you'll have to add it to all the relevant pages by adding at the bottom the following code: {{Aliens (EU2012)}} Hobbes 18:58, 19 April 2013 (EDT)
- Got a number of them out. How do they look? Only one that I can think of that still needs doing is one for classes. Leman Russ 13:16, 26 April 2013 (EDT)
- Looking good, but only two comments. It might be a good idea to have added a Navbar suffix on the end of the template names. The other is perhaps to use wiki table markup for the outer/main boxes. NKF 16:37, 26 April 2013 (EDT)
- NKF, could you please post here an example of wiki table markup? I'm not sure exactly myself of the difference. Hobbes 21:02, 26 April 2013 (EDT)

- Sure. I'll use wiki table markup to replicate the example navbar above. Check the source.
- It's the same result, but has the advantage of being tidier to maintain. For nested tables, you can throw HTML tables inside and not make it one big block of greater/less-than symbols and slashes. ;) NKF 21:34, 26 April 2013 (EDT)
- I'd quite like to see one done for the maps, though it may require a reduced font size in order to fit everything in without massive page bloat. - Bomb Bloke (Talk/Contribs) 18:17, 26 April 2013 (EDT)
- Might be better to use only the loading screen images on the Navbar. I'll look into it later Hobbes 06:12, 27 April 2013 (EDT)
- How about something like this?

- The layout and appearance looks perfect to me, but I don't like the use of style templates within the table - guess what THEY conflict with?
- Starting a cell with a ! instead of a | is enough to tell the wiki it's to be a header cell, there's no need to use a template for that. I've hence modified the above table to do away with templates as an example.
- If adding it to the map pages as a template, could I also ask for a {{EU2012_Style}} tag to go in as well? Doesn't actually exist as yet, but the plan is to save a little time later when it does. Er, in to the map pages, not the table template, that is to say.

- Just made a few more and edits and I've moved it into Template: Maps Navbar (EU2012). I'll add it later, along with the {{EU2012_Style}} tag, meanwhile I want to redo the maps pages. Hobbes 04:39, 28 April 2013 (EDT)
- And just added both the Navbar and the Style tag to all the map pages. I still want to redesign the map page format but that's for later. Hobbes 16:22, 30 April 2013 (EDT)

- In regards to the image layout on those pages, you may or may not find the code used in this article useful. - Bomb Bloke (Talk/Contribs) 02:54, 1 May 2013 (EDT)
Spamming Accounts
Since we think that all of these accounts are one person, surely we should try to block his/her IP Address which would stop him/her from creating new accounts; or do we not have the add-on installed on the wiki to block IPs? --Ditto51 02:59, 19 September 2013 (EDT)
- Well, it was possible to block IPs until it was decided that only registered users could edit the wiki to prevent massive spamming. I have no idea about that add-on. Hobbes 05:32, 19 September 2013 (EDT)
Undo?
I haven't. --Xuncu 15:28, 18 November 2013 (EST)
