Modified templates
{{archive On the request of user Bold Clone, here you can vote about his proposal to modify our current character templates. You can vote for, or against his proposal. Just add your signatures and that's it.--Uskok{{sup|Hail HYDRA!}} 17:52, August 9, 2014 (UTC)

Here is my proposal: As things currently stand, anyone currently using or preferring the "MonoBook" wiki skin is unable to read the Character template, because all of the font is rendered as black. The proposed changes is that the template's coding design will be altered so that the white font is compatible with the MonoBook skin while leaving the Wikia's appearance intact. -- Bold  Clone  18:04, August 9, 2014 (UTC)

What are the propsed modifications?Coluanprime (talk) 18:09, August 9, 2014 (UTC)

 * As things are, my current view of the character template is this: Thor1.png


 * In order for me to see any normal font (non-links), I must highlight the whole page so that it looks like this: Thor2.png


 * As you can guess, this is a huge hassle for me to go through any time I must use any template anywhere on this site. Hence my proposal. -- Bold  Clone  22:09, August 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * I am pretty sure that the majority of the wikia's users and visitors don't use this Monobook skin and by that, we can not choose the demands of the minority over the demands of the majority. When you change the template's background colour to gray, it makes very hard, if not saying impossible, for us (the "normal" wikia's skin users) to read the pages. You don't have to be a graphic designer to see that a white text on a gray background is something you shouldn't do. I'm sorry if it is a huge hassle for you to visit the wikia the way it is--Blaublau94 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (talk) 23:18, August 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you! That is just what I needed to hear. No one else earlier would tell me what they were seeing, which meant I could not collaborate with them to imrpove the template. That said, if you had read my comment above, you would have seen that I have found a way around that, which means the template can still be black, but the font is visible in MonoBook. -- Bold  Clone  23:22, August 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * I told you earlier, right here...--Blaublau94 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (talk) 23:36, August 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * ...You said grey-on-grey there. My aim was dark grey-(close to black)-on-white--which is what I was seeing. -- Bold  Clone  23:38, August 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Why would you not use the the look of this wiki, like 99% of the users do, instead of the look of wikipedia, instead of changing something most agree on to something you agree on, you could also change your skin, alot easier.
 * TomasDerksen (talk) 23:28, August 9, 2014 (UTC)TomasDerksen
 * One, I am most familiar with the look of Wikipedia. Wikia is just a scrambled-up, poorly-colored mess to me.
 * Two, I am most comfortable with look of Wikipedia. I think it looks neutral, calm, and professional, as compared to having movie posters for backgrounds screaming at me for attention every time I load a page.
 * Three, if the changes work, the Wikia users won't notice anything, because like I mentioned earlier, I found a way to make the templates visually identical but mutually compatible for both skins. -- Bold  Clone  23:36, August 9, 2014 (UTC)

Well, this is the wiki about a Cinematic Universe, so that poster in the back ground is beloved. And it isn't pooorly colored at all it is black and white. I have seen your sandbox, on which you have 10 different colors, including black (Which wont work, white would). 10 different colors for those links, that would be a to much different colors, keep it simple, white on black.TomasDerksen (talk) 23:46, August 9, 2014 (UTC)TomasDerksen
 * Aesthetically speaking, the human eye is drawn to the color black, because it is so dark. Having the background be mostly black is a poor decoration choice. Additionally, the colors were to code the movies, so you could easily see which franchise they belong to. Color-coding a movie title in bold is nowhere near the scale of blacking out the background (the titles are much smaller, so even though they are a veritable rainbow of colors, their effect is considerably less). -- Bold  Clone  23:52, August 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * For one the effect is less, for another it isn't. I do not think it is a poor decoration choice at all, it is a good one, it is simpel and I like it more then white (which is quit boring). I personaly would only think it is to much difference, to busy, to have 10 different colors in a template. The effect it would have on me woul be considerably more. Luckely enough there is only a small change the templates would be changed, and even a smaller change to have templates with 10 diffent colors. It is not that I am against you, but I just do not think something should change for a minority of the people, when a majority of the people do not want it.TomasDerksen (talk) 23:57, August 9, 2014 (UTC)TomasDerksen
 * At the end of the day, it comes down to personal aesthetics. But we're not voting about my prototype templates. We're voting over whether or not I can make the Character template visible to myself and completely unchanged for you. You realize that, right? -- Bold  Clone  00:01, August 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * yes, I am aware of that and I voted against that, since you know, it was your choise to no use the skin this wiki uses, so the problems it gives to you, are not our problems.TomasDerksen (talk) 00:03, August 10, 2014 (UTC)TomasDerksen
 * I wish all users were as honest about their apathy as you are. -- Bold  Clone  00:07, August 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * Three votes for, and nine votes against. I guess this subject is settled.--UskokHail HYDRA! 15:22, August 10, 2014 (UTC)

I would like to be an admin
{{archive Hey Marvelites (that is slang for Marvel fans, if you haven't heard)! This is Milomilk! I have been wanting to be an admin for the past 2 years. I have been even asking the admins if I could be one. I have made many of the pages and templates on the wiki including: And that is not even half. I have re-watched the MCU films numerous times to get more information for the wiki. I have been asking for this for 2 years so please nominate me. Milomilk was here 03:03, August 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * result= Bratpack, Greater good, Shabook and TomasDerksen are nominated as Admins
 * discussion=

Comments
Hello, I did not vote on whether you should be an admin or not because there is the nominations stage to go through beforehand meaning someone is to nominate you or you are to nominate yourself. I also believe an admin should not be chosen by the number of pages they have created as anybody can do that. Thank you. --Doctor Stranger (talk) 17:09, August 10, 2014 (UTC) }}

Comments

 * About Bratpack's question, it works the other way too, IF I get the position, I'd like him as an admin too, there is enough work in the wiki for both of us, and as we've worked many times as a good team, I think the whole community would benefit with having both as admins.

 * With ten votes for him and none against him, Bratpack is elected as an admin. With four votes for him and none against him, Greater good is elected as an admin. With eight votes for him and two against him, Shabook is elected as an admin. With three votes for him and none against him, TomasDerksen is elected as an admin. Congratulations to all new admins. You will be promoted by the Central Wiki staff during the course of the day.--UskokHail HYDRA! 06:54, August 25, 2014 (UTC)
