Hi! I expanded your beautiful {{Icon}} template with icons for powergrid and CPU. I also expanded the documentation to cover all the icons which the template covered anyway (there were a few missing in the documentation, such as energy vampires). I was really careful in my editing and I hope I didn't screw anything up! :) Please let me know if you have any comments! Noemie Belacqua 15:58, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

As I mentioned in the forum PM, you did exactly what you should. You saw something to improve and you did it. Thank you.

Vanguard Incursion Fits - Hyperion T1 Ammo

Hey there - you mentioned you wanted to change my edit (regarding T1 blaster ammo) to Vanguard_Incursion_fits#Hyperion but I have not noticed any changes yet. Please feel free to do so when you have the time! Telinchei (talk) 00:43, 21 August 2015 (CDT)

I'll get to it when I find the right wording, until then the information is there already so no rush :) Cassiel seraphim (talk) 03:35, 21 August 2015 (CDT)

Template:Incursions sites – conversion to horizontal Navbox

So it would appear what we have at current is technically known as a sidebar on the Big Wiki, where it is generally only used for topic overviews (like the main template:incursions links. The horizontal table ('navbox') is more used for specific topics of less significance, but still related (eg, human anatomy, or related titles in a film franchise) with the advantage it works better with other templates, amongst other benefits. I definitely think a horizontal table/navbox like Template:Navbox would work better for the sites box - it is more compact, and it can be placed at the bottom of any page, allowing it to fit the bill of a 'summary' template that I have mentioned. I have currently set up a test at User:Telinchei/Test Two Incursions.

I saw that you have already set a horizontal table/navbox up in 2013 on the template page itself and it looks perfect. I also see you also considered between the two swapped to the sidebar header from the horizontal table/navbox at that time and I'm curious - why did you end up picking the sidebar style over the horizontal? If you think it would be appropriate, that horizontal navbox could be copied out to Template:Incursion Sites 2 or the like (horizontal, navbox would also be appropriate titles) and be applied to the mainspace Incursion sites page as a trial?

Done as per above. New but old (2013) template forked to Template:Incursions sites horizontal and applied to the bottom of Incursion sites. Telinchei (talk) 01:42, 1 September 2015 (CDT)

Perhaps post a link to this talk-page as well as the incursion sites page on the forum, ask for feedback? That seems like the best way to get some input :)

I think generally speaking the setup you chose in 2013, where it is easily visible at the top and on the right hand side, will work well enough for most people. If anything it's just a little obsession I have with navigation boxes – where each page linked from the box, should have the box placed on it too – so that people can navigate between the related pages without having to stop and go backwards. But yes as discussed, I might think up something to post on the forums to see if people have any strong opinions about it. Telinchei (talk) 07:34, 1 September 2015 (CDT)
