Template talk:Color

cyan

Good idea Tetris ^^


 * What's the application of this? I mean, since the effect is the same as test, there must be a high relative occurance where we want colored links as opposed to just colored text right?  I only remember colors for map points, and those are not links... -PanSola 04:21, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Blah, the template won't work on your dagger, and won't work on Tetris' bold font. Also, the linking bracket can be inside the font mark-up to avoid the piping link.  And if it's just signatures, which are just used as includes anyways, there's not much point in making tempaltes that use them... I call "Meh" on this template ~_~""" -PanSola 05:05, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * PanSola: This isn't just for signatures. It is for all kinds of collored links. The effect is not the same as test ! Try it. The link won't be colorized. It will use the standard link color: test -- 08:12, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah I already tested it (and reverted it). So what is the application of colored links aside from cool signitures? Just wondering.  I only remember coloring text for map points, and those are not links. -PanSola 13:23, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I was thinking about coloring the NPCs on the Isle of the Nameless red and green depending whether they are friend or foe. But then I realized that in a wiki red links mean empty pages, so I dropped the idea. I won't use the template in the near time. -- 13:56, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Is it technologically within the parameters of MediaWiki capabilities to change the color of empty links?  I know web browsers can still override it, but the default color can be specified from server side I think...  not sure (and then even if we can we still need to decide whether it's a good idea or not, but just wondering). -PanSola 16:00, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

useful application?
I was playing around a little with the template and actually managed to make it work as intended. So, wouldn't it be useful to replace all occurences of recurring colors (e.g. profession-specific colors) with this template, so we only have to change stuff in one place instead of all over the wiki if we ever want to change a profession color? --RolandOfGilead 12:59, 29 January 2007 (CST)

 * I like this style template better than the ones currently discussed at GuildWiki_talk:Style_and_formatting/Profession_colors. Although we may need to discuss if "Color" is the template name to be used, or if we should use something else.  --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:08, 29 January 2007 (CST)
