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.
- Some shows already had colours before the "general" infoboxes were created, and removing them is difficult
- Some shows like Star Trek, Simpsons etc are such wide subjects that they as a subject carry their own colour.
As a quick guide.
- Shows that only have a single page NEVER should be coloured on wikipedia
- Shows that don't have a colour that is clearly associated with the topic (like yellow is with the simpsons) should not be coloured
- Shows with a colour that would make the text in the headers illegable should not have a colour.
- 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 (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 18:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

How do i change an infoboxes color successfully?. Mythdon (talk) 01:04, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merge dup parameters
{{Editprotected}} The two checks for two different but same-colored Stargate shows should be replaced with a single one:
| Stargate = #7F8EB7
but have if-code in there to also match
| Stargate Atlantis = #7F8EB7
and
| Stargate SG-1 = #7F8EB7
instances (i.e., make the template code smart enough to not require a big AWB session to change all instances of the old separate codes to the new merged one.)
The structure for this is just nested if statements. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 04:45, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
