== Main Page Table Proposal ==
 
By the way, we'll keep the table specs templates as well. In the future, we may want to change them a bit. Maybe even give them construction paper or graph paper backgrounds! Gasp, shock. Just a thought. For now, we can use the specs templates as another site-wide template for all spec tables.
 
  
So now we've got <nowiki>{{StdTable}}</nowiki>, which contains:
 
 
{{StdTable}}
 
 
And <nowiki>{{StdTable Heading}}</nowiki>, containing:
 
 
{{StdTable Heading}}
 
 
 
I haven't created a sub-heading template for the moment, as I can't see any place in the main menu to stick one for the moment.
 
 
But when it's created, it'll look exactly like heading only the background colour will be set to #EEE.

P. S: You can see what templates are used on a page when you enter the edit screen just under the save and preview buttons. This will be templates that were in the page in the previous save. Not in the current edit in progress. I think. Still, handy to know.

I'll see what I can do about the misc table.
 
 
As for the ''You N00b! Look here!'' bit, yes, that does need to be more obvious. A small disclaimer explaining that this site is about a game rather than alien conspiracy theories is much needed as well. I won't update that just yet as I'm not entirely satisfied with what I've patched together. See:

<p style = "margin:1em;">This site has been created to serve as the ultimate resource for information based around the Extra Terrestrial Combat Unit ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcom X-COM]) and its encounters with the alien invaders.

Okay, so I didn't spend much time on it.
 
 
edit:
 
 
I just got rid of the bullets and put whitespace between the misc. listing. Even put an align = "left" bit into the table, but goodness knows if that's helping it any.

NKF: Is your comment directly above this still necessary? Not sure if you were done messing around with the noob disclaimer bit so I left it in place. Anyhow, just a minor bit of cleaning in here again. Gotta get ready for more discussions. You can remove my comment after reading. --[[User:Zombie|Zombie]] 21:05, 25 April 2006 (PDT)
