[edit] Colors

"Affiliation" generates a colored bar behind the character's name. These are the colors I chose when fixing Affiliation to appear in the template (slightly revised from what was originally used) with reasoning:

  • G.I. Joe: blue (as in red, white, and blue) (was green, see Oktober Guard)
  • Cobra: red (as in their sigil)
  • Dreadnok: purple (no specific reason. was pink, which seems wrong)
  • Iron Grenadier: gold (like Destro's mask when he started that faction)
  • Oktober Guard: green (military fatigues. Red would have been preferred, but is used for Cobra)
  • Cobra-La: orange (no specific reason)

I couldn't think of additional factions. I considered adding one for "G.I. Joe (formerly Cobra)", and vice-versa, but that only affects a very few characters. I'm not beholden to any of these colors other than Red for Cobra. Suggestions? Salamurai (talk) 13:25, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

As far as I am concerned these colors are fine. (Steve (talk) 19:51, 12 March 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Recommendation

May God Bless You Always!

I have discovered a really neat website that tell us the rank for the characters like Duke is E-8 (Army first sergeant). I think that this would be a nice addition to the template. What do you people think? (Steve (talk) 19:50, 12 March 2008 (UTC))

I added a field for rank, along with some other fields, after looking over filecards for various characters. While I couldn't think of any other fields, maybe someone else will. Salamurai (talk) 00:01, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
