Template talk:Television colour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't get it... why do certain television shows get special colors for their infoboxes? TheNunOwnedGoat 15:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Well it's more difficult then that.
  1. Some shows already had colours before the "general" infoboxes were created, and removing them is difficult
  2. Some shows like Star Trek, Simpsons etc are such wide subjects that they as a subject carry their own colour.

As a quick guide.

  1. Shows that only have a single page NEVER should be coloured on wikipedia
  2. Shows that don't have a colour that is clearly associated with the topic (like yellow is with the simpsons) should not be coloured
  3. Shows with a colour that would make the text in the headers illegable should not have a colour.
  4. Shows that DO have colour should have a wide community concensus on having that colour. That's why we are gonna centralize this here, because then it's easier to discuss it with a lot of people. --TheDJ (talkcontribsWikiProject Television) 18:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
