message: According to the ninth point in the Fair use policy:
Fair use images should only be used in the article namespace. Used outside article space, they are often enough not covered under the fair use doctrine. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages. 
For the same reason it was not allowed to keep a Fair use image in :Template:User smfan, it shouldn't be kept here. It happened to me once, and I learned about my mistake. -- ReyBrujo 21:43, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

text: It looks nice:) Danny Lilithborne 01:02, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That does look nice! I'd been worrying about the white space, too. :) I also went in a rearranged some things, stretched it slightly and got a few newlines to go away. And I expanded the linespace a bit, so it's not so crammed; easier to read now, I think. Oh, I also put Chaos in his own space, separate from Shadow Galactica, since he's associated with all five villain groups. He was being newlined anyway, though, so the only visual difference is that now there isn't a pipe (|) after the Animamates link. ^^ Thanks! --Masamage 03:03, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: No. :P But my issue wasn't that she needs to be emphasized; my issue was that her name looks incongrous in line with everything else. If you prefer to remove it entirely I wouldn't mind, but if it stays I think it looks weird there and might look better in a different position.. --Masamage 03:53, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: While i Like the fact that the movies have been seperated from the rest of the stuff, it smashs the Bad guys together. We had arranged them that way to sperate them. If it were possible to keep the movies sperate and still have the olde badie arrangement then its a good idea. Else i say revert it. Lego3400:  The Sage of Time 17:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The idea is less for this to stay exactly like it is and more for it to be easily-editable. As we get more work done, many more links are going to be added to that template (like to the five arc pages, including Sailor Stars, and also to things like Talisman (Sailor Moon), Parallel Sailor Moon, etc.) As things are added, all of the sections will get fuller and more spaced out, and the Villain section will have room to expand back to its normal size. --Masamage 19:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Do people like the edit that was just made, with "Characters" and "Continuity" headers? I don't prefer it, but thought I ought to run it by the rest of you before doing anything. --Masamage 05:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's inherent in having the headers, because of course it'll be plain white to each side. That's part of why I dislike it. --Masamage 22:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, since no one seems to disagree, I'll go ahead and revert. --Masamage 19:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I think this idea was better. As well as design, it was collapsible when the related article becomes larger.--JSH-alive talk to mesee my worksmail to me 13:04, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I like the hide thing and would go for that, but otherwise the design changes just make it bigger and more crowded. --Masamage 17:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It looked smaller and not all that crowded on my machine when it was done like that... I liked it better.-Malkinann 22:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Sorry. Made a mistake. I was on the SMS page, and I saw that the link wasn't working. But it was on the template, and I was trying to change it so it would. I realize now that it doesn't work when you're on the page, only when you're viewing the template somewhere else.

thread_title:  Do Not Revert 

message: I'm deleteing the clear because most, if not, all other templates do not have it.  No reader on the face of the earth needs an extra visual cue to separate the template from the article.  It is arbitrary and opinionated to have it.  What constitutes enough space from the text of the article and the template?  You say one line, I say 1000.68.148.164.134 02:00, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why do all the people who remove the clear tag have to be so confrontational and hostile? --Masamage ♫ 03:14, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Now then. I have reverted per the bold, revert, discuss process. I personally think it looks hideous without the clear tag; it mashes up the "this article contains Japanese text" template and makes them overlap. I'm guessing nobody really thinks 1000 lines are needed. --Masamage ♫ 03:32, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, don't yell at me.  I'm just going to see if your right, i.e., delete it, and see what you mean by the mash up.  BTW, I'm 100110100.68.148.164.134 06:03, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Can someone very talented add show/hide functionality to this template? That should help streamline things. I know how to do it with more simple boxes, but this one's got some funky code, so I don't want to break anything. --Masamage ♫ 16:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

message: As of this version, in the bottom, "Movies" places sightly higher than "Story arcs". Especialy in the Internet Explorer, Hife button places above the name bar. (This is a text description writen in 01:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And your proposed solution above does not have these issues?  I find it hard to believe that the IE issue is resolved by your above proposed solution, and I do not believe the Firefox issue is particularly important. -Malkinann (talk) 22:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Hmm. Just in messing with the code we've got, I've managed to improve the Firefox bug a little. There must be something else going on causing those last two pixels to be weird, though. As for the IE, there's surely some kind of hack; IE is famous for being annoying about CSS, and people are creative about sneaking around it. --Masamage ♫ 03:44, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

text: That's a pretty nonstandard layout for animanga-related navboxes... And actually, having the episodes split out is too. I have an idea on how they can be put back in with the "Franchise" group, though... Thoughts? —Dinoguy1000 16:50, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not liking the summarisation of R and S into just R and S - might make it difficult for people to navigate to them. -Malkinann (talk) 19:32, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see how it would, since other navboxes do something similar with nothing but numbers (see for example Template:Bleach). As for the films, ideally, they would be put in the Franchise group with everything else, but three film articles I think is a fringe threshold for having their own group. If everyone wants them merged in with the Franchise group, though, I can do it. —Dinoguy1000 19:24, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
