message: ===Character template===
I was thinking about coding the characters by color. I mean, changing the backgroud color of the character name according to pre-determined guide, similar to the one used in the Comics project or the Harry Potter one. Right now, all the character use a dark red colour as a background. My idea was to differentiate the character by race: a colour for humans, another for Jaffa, another for Goaul'd, etc. What do you think? -- Andromeda 00:24, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

After I saw some informative boxes in some Star Trek pages (the Romulans for example), I was thinking about creating a template for Stargate races but I'm not sure if it would be too much. This one in the right is my idea. What do you think? 
A filled-in example:
                  	
Asgard            	Asgard
Species           	Asgard
Homeworld         	Halla (original), Orilla (new)
Governing body    	Asgard High Council
Alliances         	Earth
Previous alliances	Four Great Races, Protected Planets Treaty
First appearance  	Thor's Hammer (humanoid hologram)Thor's Chariot (real form)

thread_title: Races template

message: I've created a page with the information about the current templates (always taking into account that the bgcolours and the race template are still under discussion). I wanted to make the templates easy to use for new people, but I'm not sure if I've gone to far in the other direction. Opinions? -- Andromeda 08:19, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I think the glyph used in the stubs should be the same as the one for the project. Maybe it's just me, but I'd them to be consistent, and I like to blue-on-black better. Thoughts? -- Sigma 04:06, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Stub Template vs. Project Template

message: I left a comment on Talk:Athos (Stargate) but was told to put it here, so I am.
I made a template to make putting a gate address on a page somewhat easier. I copied Athos (Stargate) (as of 17:50, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This is just one of the best ideas ever. what's the final template name and yes, convert all!--alfakim 23:10, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

text: Good idea and, as it seems there's consensus, I'll add them to the templates page. Can you tell me the template names, please? Thanks! -- Andromeda 03:27, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

text: Ah, I see there's already a workaround for 8-symbol addresses. Just leaves the Pegasus unknowns to deal with, then. Bryan 09:51, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We can just upload AtlantisGlyphUnknown.png = StargateGlyphUnknown.png and then it'll work. Something I'm not happy about though is that the default for the addresses is to come out big with brackets around it. Where is this format actually used? Anyway, I'll upload the new image to make it work.-- Alfakim --  talk  14:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
