202.116.65.241: /* cheap fake bags */ new section

==Lists==
One big thing I've noticed is that we need to add some vertical margins to our lists. People keep on putting spaces in between list items to create space, and the problem is that it creates really bad messy code by splitting up each item into separate lists. So if we add CSS spacing, that means people will stop doing that dumbass thing, so we can actually have our list items all in a single list as is proper. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 16:15, 23 January 2010 (EST)
:I've noticed this too, and there's only a two-pixel difference in spacing (at least on my browser), so it seems like it's something that's better served with a bit of css. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 16:49, 23 January 2010 (EST)
::Yeah, it's frustrating that every time I try to fix code as I go along by removing any extra carriage returns, somebody goes and puts them back and messes things up again on me. Grah. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 16:55, 23 January 2010 (EST)

== Infoboxes ==

I also find myself wondering if maybe we ''should'' have infoboxes for characters. Not in the way Wikipedia has them, mind you, but as a place for main pics, disambiguations, noname indicators, alternate names, quote, continuity notes, and faction symbols. Basically, a new and tidier format for the info we already put in every character article's top, to try and declutter things. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 16:24, 23 January 2010 (EST)

Something like this, for instance, intended to go at the very top of the page under the faction symbol code:
{|cellspacing="0" style="margin:0 0 1em 0;padding:.5em;background:#f7f8ff;border:1px solid #aaa;text-align:left;width:100%;"
|-valign="top"
!style="width:17%;"|Species:
|style="width:35%;"|[[Transformer]]
!style="width:20%;"|Faction(s):
|style="width:28%;"|Decepticon
|-valign="top"
!Continuity:
|[[Marvel Comics]] portion of [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]]
!Disambiguation(s):
|[[Megatron (disambiguation)|Megatron]], [[Galvatron (disambiguation)|Galvatron]]
|-valign="top"
!Also known as:
|"Lord Megatron", Galvatron
!Related page(s):
|[[Megatron (SG)]], [[Galvatron (G1)]]
|}
I'm still fussing with the coding (the idea being to make it collapsible if there's no disambiguation, AKAs and/or related pages needed--floated lists might work better here), but this was the general initial idea I had, layout-wise. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 18:53, 27 January 2010 (EST)
