| I just realized from [[Cessair]] that you can't really see links in the title. I suppose it won't be that much of a problem, but I still wanted to point it out. [[User:Azes13|Azes13]] 16:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

| It's possible to change the colour of the links and/or of the box backgrounds. However, I personally don't think we should be putting links in the title anyway. --[[User:Mantrid|Mantrid]] 17:16, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

| :Righty...I tried to undo the revision (admittedly not something I've done before) and..it's hasn't put it back to what it was...it's kinda still mucked up, which sorta stuffs up ''a lot'' of the pages on here. Some setting it back would be helpful, thanks. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 12:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

| :: Checked between the old infobox and the changed one...um why? There are quite a lot of infoboxes to change, why couldn't we just have a new one and an old one and slowly move over to the new one?

| == Other actor field ==
| |
| | |
| Might it be possible to have another "other actor" field for cases like [[Winston Churchill]], in which another actor played the character, but not on TV or audio? (Actually, I'm not sure whether there ''are'' any other cases like [[Winston Churchill]], but the formatting of the "main actor" field on that page is all messed up, and I don't know how best to fix it without altering the template — which I'd rather not do myself, as my templating ability is extremely limited.) —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk to me]]</sup> 03:49, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

| :Ah: I just realized that this probably has to do with the ongoing conversion to SMW. Presumably this can be tweaked, if necessary, after all the other fixes have been made by the bot. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk to me]]</sup> 03:43, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

| ==Remove Automatic Link from "Main Actor"==
| |
| I strongly recommend that the two bracket things in the "Species" and "Main Actor" boxes of the infobox, which automatically link anything you type in it, be removed because they mess the infobox up on numerous articles.

| You're grossly exaggerating when you say "numerous" articles are negatively affected by automatic variable linkage. Only the ''tiniest'' fraction of articles have any sort of a problem with auto-linkage, and just about every one of these has a ready solution. This is especially true with the {{{actor}}} variable, since there are additional variables – {{{other actor}}} and {{{voice actor}}} — which take care of additional actors.
| |
| | |
| The advantage of having self-linking variables is that we can then manipulate the data on each page with a far greater amount of subtlety. For instance, we can now find out with a simple statement:
| |
| | |
| *which actors played Time Lords in stories involving the Fifth Doctor
| |
| *which stories particular Sontarans made their only appearance in
| |
| *which televised stories did not have Time Lords in them
| |
| | |
| ...and a whole host of other fairly sophisticated questions that [[T:SMW|SMW]] allows us to ask.
| |
| | |
| This flexibility is more than worth the inconvenience of having to very occasionally think whether it's best to call a person a human or a werewolf because you can't use human-werewolf any more.
| |
| | |
| Remember, the vast majority of characters have very straightforward species and actor values. We shouldn't make programming decisions based upon the tiny fraction of articles where things aren't ''quite'' as straightforward. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}06:10: Tue 21 Aug 2012 </span>

| == Issue with images in Monobook ==
| |
| | |

| == Paragraph spacing ==
| |
| | |
| When the text on a page starts immediately after the final pair of braces in the Infobox, it throws off the spacing in between the first and second paragraph, making it look like someone put in a '''<nowiki><br></nowiki>''' instead of a blank line.
| |
| | |
| Here's the "diff" of the edit I just made that shows all I did was move the first paragraph down one line so it's not on the same line as the end of the Infobox: [http://tardis.wikia.com/index.php?title=Rose_Tyler&diff=1799284&oldid=1782789 Rose Tyler].
| |
| | |
| If you go to the previous edit on November 30, the first two paragraphs look like this:
| |
| | |
| ::: ... Rose seemed destined for a life as a retail worker.<br> Instead, the Doctor blew up her workplace ...
| |
| | |
| After dropping the first paragraph down away from the Infobox, it looks like this:
| |
| | |
| ::: ... Rose seemed destined for a life as a retail worker.
| |
| | |
| ::: Instead, the Doctor blew up her workplace ...
| |
| | |
| The spacing between the paragraphs now matches the rest of the paragraphs.
| |
| | |
| I have looked through the code of the Infobox and I can't figure out what's causing this. Any ideas? —[[User:RRabbit42|RRabbit42]] (<small>[[User talk:RRabbit42|leave a message]]</small>) 15:34, December 16, 2014 (UTC)

| == Other voice actors ==
| |
| | |
| Dear Admins,
| |
| | |
| I tried to use "|other voice actor2" and "|other voice actor3" fields but they did not affect the desktop preview. Are these fields still functional? There are some [[The Master|prominent pages]] where instead of separating voice actors one per field, all are crammed into "|other voice actor", which suggests that this is the modus operandi. Is that the case? [[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:11, March 11, 2016 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| UPD: The template description requires an update:
| |
| # Fields '''main voice actor''', '''other voice actor2''', '''other voice actor3''', '''other voice actor4''' and '''other voice actor5''' are not functional;
| |
| # Field '''voice actor''' produces text ''Main voice actor'';
| |
| # Field '''other voice actor''' produces text ''Other voice actors'' (note the plural).

| Recently, I saw a field "partner" being used for the cases of intimate relationships that are not marriages (see, for instance, [[Charlie Smith]]. It seems that this functionality has disappeared. I'm just wondering if that was a collateral of some other changes or a conscious deletion?
