Template talk:Infobox Homestuck Character

Anyone else that these are a little to big? Since all of the stuff is already in the main article, I think we should take out most of the less important stuff. I say keep these: "Name", "Age", "Strife Specibus", "Fetch Modus", "Online Handle" (possibly change to "Screenname") "Relative" (change to "Guardian") and "Lives in".

I'd also suggest making a separate one for the Guardians since the habits are much different. Possible guardians ones would be: "Child", "Facial feature"(debatable), "Obsessions", and something along the lines of "Annoying Habits"(i.e. Unfaltering Love, Cruel Irony, Mind Games and Intense Confrontations.)Koolkevk 21:22, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Current Location
Do you think that we should have a "current location" field in this template? Just a feature I wanted to suggest. NotAnonymous 19:01, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Do you want to constantly update it? It's a pain in the ass. A lot of Problem Sleuth Articles were written in present tense and consequently when it was no longer the present they had to be rewritten. Bleh! Kbmr 13:08, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

I would be fine constantly editing it. NotAnonymous 02:21, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Merging Template:Infobox Homestuck Troll
I decided to add the Troll Infobox's unique variables to this one. The two infoboxes are similar enough to make having both redundant, and I figure having only one character infobox template will be easier to keep track of than two. --Pigbuster 02:59, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

BG-color default
I don't especially like invalidating a fair amount of work someone does, but having the bg-color parameter default to white is really important. If the whole thing is grey then all of the sections blend together and it just doesn't look as nice as it is when the picture is on a white background. There's a reason that's the way infoboxes look in pretty much every single wiki. In addition, having a section of white surrounded on the top and bottom by light grey matches the aesthetic of the main MSPA website, which should be done at every possible opportunity.

I've been adding a fair bit of functionality to the infobox recently, and unfortunately I've let the template documentation slide, so I'll get on that and hopefully clear some things up. Or something. --Pigbuster 00:12, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

I changed it only because a whole bunch of the sprites have that un-outlined white, it's annoying how they either blend into the background or use a different background color than most of the other characters. We could use EEEEEE and C6C6C6, which would better match MSPA. Octachoron 01:16, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

There appears to be a problem with the "intro" and "first" links appearing on the same line and screwing up the formatting on pages that have both of them. Anyone know how to fix it? Majutsukai 12:10, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
