Sounds nice, looks better than the other one we had too, so far. -Chénier 18:56, 9 January 2008 (CET)
- I see there's alot of subpages, is that why you didn't add the category to them? -Chénier 19:03, 9 January 2008 (CET)
- Yes, there will probably be a lot of subpages, very similar to the way Template:TattleRight was done. No point in categorizing all the subpages, since they will not be used individually. They are used automatically by the template, based on the way the parameters are specified. This way we can add new categories of newsticker stories by just adding the appropriate subpages. It will not impact any of the pages or stories already using the template. Now I just need to find a way to put it onto the main page, keep it looking clean, and make it automated the way the feature articles are done. --Indirik 22:28, 9 January 2008 (CET)
Coolest Realm
Coolest Realm Named Madina declared the coolest realm on Dwilight! (all parameters specified)
- It's an honour :P --Vlad 21:01, 9 January 2008 (CET)

The red shield could be for continental news? That or some other icon, to represent IG events that aren't tied to any realm in particular. -Chénier 21:51, 10 January 2008 (CET)
- Could be. I made it for the first set of templates I tried, with a different template for each event. I figured that as long as I had it, I'd use it, even if I didn't know what to use it for. Red gives the connotationof a disaster, or something like that. Volcanic eruptions, or something. I may do a rogue icon, but I'm not sure that will really be needed. I can't imagine there being anything like Huge Battles against rogue forces, unless we have BT style invasions. --Indirik 22:08, 10 January 2008 (CET)
- Red made me think of the daimons, hence the invasion, hence continental events. The continent deserves an icon, no? ;) -Chénier 22:23, 10 January 2008 (CET)
- Sure, I don't mind a continental event icon. It's a good idea. I just don't know what it would be. A red shield just doesn't do it for me. --Indirik 23:14, 10 January 2008 (CET)
- I don't know... The continent's map wouldn't be very original, but I can't really think of anything else, unless something similar to the OOC banner is made... -Chénier 00:59, 11 January 2008 (CET)
- I don't think I could shrink the continent map down to the point wher it would fit in a 24x24 icon, without it looking like two small, green kidney beans. :p --Indirik 13:31, 11 January 2008 (CET)
- It wouldn't be like shrinking the EC, which people could mistake for the FEI, or the colonies, which could be taken for the war islands, though. Two green kidneys is a pretty unique continental form. ;) -Chénier 18:11, 11 January 2008 (CET)
