Wikitroid:Requests for Comment/Template:Talk

This RfC was closed on 02:33, March 17, 2013 (UTC) by Hell Kaiser ryo12 [ ADMIN ] (Talk&bull;Contribs). Resolution of not implementing talk bubbles. Please do not modifiy it.

Template:Talk
Talk bubbles. Good idea, methinks. Example here. Might need a bit of work before committed to templatespace, do at your own risk >:3

What I mean is, the template itself is fine, but to work efficiently, it might need supporting templates. It worked fine for my wiki, which isn't as advanced as this one, but what harm could it do? :) The creator, Tactic Angel gives full permission for any wiki to use it, so that's clear. Who want it, and who doesn't? 01:52, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Oppose: Unnecessary, makes pages have lots of unnecessary coding and makes pages harder to follow. Sigs work better. DoctorP a i n 9 9  {ROLLBACKER} (talk &bull; e-mail &bull; contribs &bull; count &bull; logs) 19:29, May 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - Fair enough, you have your opinion :) I was thinking maybe extra personalization, it makes it easier to see who's messaging you. It's not like a sig, they're two different things. You can use both. It's not really that much coding, as you put it into a template of your own, blah blah blah. Everyone has one. 01:16, May 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose: I've seen these used elsewhere and I never really liked them. While on Crysis Wiki I leave it up to the user whether they use it, but I agree with Dr. Pain. It is quite a bit of extra coding and it takes up a lot of room when viewing the page. Joe Copp 04:58, June 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose Signatures work just fine. --Mr. Anon (talk) 21:09, February 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Bump. Bringing this back up. --Mr. Anon (talk) 00:01, February 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose I think talk bubbles are too forum-ish, they might distract from topics and as said before they add a lot of unnecessary coding. Apart from that they look ugly and people choose nauseating colours. Signatures get the job done, and still allow customisation and so on.

 * Oppose A bit late to the party, but per Dr. Pain and Mr. Anon. I've never got the visual appeal of them. Sigs seem to work just as well in regards to personalization, while still retaining reasonable size.


 * Motion for passage with the resolution of not implementing talk bubbles. --Mr. Anon (talk) 20:24, March 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Bump. --Mr. Anon (talk) 16:18, March 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Bump again. --Mr. Anon (talk) 03:47, March 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose -- Signatures works fine, so bubbles are not necessary. -- Hounder4  (Talk)  (Changes)  (Blogs) 12:53, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

 * Oppose Adding to what has been said above, while the talk bubbles may be a good idea for many other wikis, I feel like it just wouldn't work here. Maybe now we can finally put this RfC to bed.
