Template talk:Stub

Okay... can somebody not me tweak this so it has the "MissingPiece" image and the header "You left a piece out!"? The stub notice as it is isn't very eye-catching. --M Sipher 06:57, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

I really just don't think that image works. At all. If you disagree, though, feel free to replace everything before <includeonly> with that code, though. --Suki Brits 07:33, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Trying with reloaded and tweaked image... --M Sipher 07:45, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

I think a new quote might work better. That quote is associated with another rather well-known scene, one we already ruled out using when discussing an image to use, so it seems incongruous with this image. Possibly I'm just pedantic, though. --Sntint 08:00, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

I think the missing faceplate works better of the two, despite my love for Scrounge. But I think a quote not associated with Kup works better, yes. --ItsWalky 16:09, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

"...it never ends!" IS very Primey... hm. I'm sure there's a Prime quote somewhere that works. --M Sipher 16:32, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Hmmmm. If we could come up with a suitable quote... --M Sipher 08:19, 8 September 2007 (UTC) (bumping because this prolly got lost in the metric fuckton of minor edits I did overnight, input desired. A different image?)

I prefer the faceplate-less Prime, because it fits the unfinished nature of stubbed articles. Second picture of what's his face looks obvious, even to a non-comic reader such as myself, that his arm was ripped out, not simply unfinished. But I can understand if people (at first glance) don't notice that Prime is missing his faceplate. --FFN 15:57, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Minimalism is a lost art

I just ran into the new stub template on Grand Maximus, and I do mean ran into- my eye comes to a crashing halt.

I like the old one. It was simple, to the point and it didn't draw unnecessary attention to itself.

I-- I was goign to explain why, using lots and lots of words, but I really can't force the feeling out into such a straight line, except this; I fucking hate the news stub template, turn it back please. -Derik 17:30, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

What makes this notice template any different than the others? I would think that drawing attention is a good thing for a stub notice. That way people are more likely to notice the article is crying out for attention. --Steve-o 17:40, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
