Must it be colored like that? It looks strange to me. --OGoncho 21:26, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I created the template, and simply colored it as I saw fit. Mainly to be different, look cool, and to be functional. (Ended up looking like the Stargate templates I styled. Feel free to be bold and edit away. -b 03:46, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I've softened it a bit. --OGoncho 22:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Didn't mean I actually wanted you to! Hahaha, naw, it looks good. I was just playing around with something new and different. -b 23:02, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Is it really nessesary to put episodes on the Firefly Template? Previous and next episodes can already be found on the episode template, and the full list is provided on the main Firefly episode. I believe the template looks too...bloated now. I'm going to revert it for now, unless we reach a consensus... -b 21:19, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I wont revert, but I still don't like it. Input please. -b 21:20, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I put in a line break after "Jaynestown," it looks better now. --Pentasyllabic 21:23, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

However, if the browser window resizes, it'll totally screw up the layout. -b 21:27, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, I like it, but I'm the one who added the episodes.Shsilver 21:28, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I suppose in a way it's nice to have every Firefly article under one banner.

A while back I was thinking about having two templates. One would be for all Firefly episodes, the other would be for the episodes. They'd have the same color scheme and all, but the one for the episodes would only have the episodes, and a link back to the main article. -b 21:33, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Contents 1 Ordering 2 Two template suggestion 3 Merged templates 4 Soundtrack

[edit] Ordering

On a different topic, shouldn't Serenity (comic) appear before Serenity (movie) in the template since the comic takes place before the film? Was there a reason you ordered them as you did?Shsilver 21:40, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I ordered them as they came to mind, so basically by importance. No real reason. -b 21:44, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Two template suggestion

Like this, with one template one each article, if it's an episode article, it gets an episode template, all other articles get the main Firefly template. -b 22:54, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merged templates

I have merged the episodes template with this one, in order to have all articles covered by one template. The Wookieepedian 04:57, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Soundtrack

While the soundtrack may not be technically a spin-off, I think it does belong in the template, and the way it is set up, that seems the most logical place. Any other ideas where it should be? Shsilver 20:17, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, if we put that, we would have to put the Serenity soundtrack as well. The Wookieepedian 20:22, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Based on the discussion for Firefly and the soundtrack, it would make sense to split the Serenit soundtrack out, in which case, I'd advocate adding both soundtracks to the template. Shsilver 20:27, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good. I'll go over to the Serenity page, and split the soundtrack section off. Maybe we can make a new section on the template for them, since they aren't technically spin-offs. The Wookieepedian 20:31, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Done. The Wookieepedian 20:54, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
