Talk:Lloyd's Favorites

Please, Lloyd, do not use the {{byline}} template in the manner you were. That template is only meant to be used to add the 'Author' bit to the start of a page and adds semantic tags under certain conditions (which your use met). I've fixed the page to not use that template so your favorites list doesn't get tagged as having been written by every author who's written a story on it. -- ShadowWolf 01:37, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Whoops, my bad! I've just been copying/pasting templates from other people's pages so I'm not sure how most of it works yet. I'll be more careful in the future though, thanks for the heads up! --Lloyd

Not a problem. When I spotted that I fixed it simply because I knew it was an unintentional error. (and it gave me a chance to flex my regex muscles) -- ShadowWolf 03:50, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

If you like, I could create some sort of formatting template for you that uses the same parameters as byline does. That way you could copy and paste, and all you'd have to do is change the template name "byline" into whatever the name of the new template is. Bryan 06:42, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

That'd be neat, but I honestly have no idea what I'd do with it. My knowledge on this sort of thing is less than zero at the moment, I don't even know which part of the template I used was the byline D= --Lloyd

Nevermind, I figured out which part was the byline. Either way though I haven't a clue what a new 'byline' equivalent template would be useful for, so I guess you shouldn't bother making one. On another note, is there an existing icon for the horror genre? I haven't found one yet but I might not be looking in the right place. --Lloyd

I recall going on a couple of futile hunts for a good freely-licensed "horror" icon, or some inspiration that would lead me to draw one of my own, without success. If you can find one that satisfies I'd love to hear about it. :) In the meantime, I guess check out Category:Icons to see what we currently have uploaded and available. I've used that bloody cleaver to indicate "violent content" in stories so it might be misleading if you use it for something else. Bryan 09:41, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Not that it's widely known yet, but the tiny icon that goes with "High Octane Nightmare Fuel" pages on [TVTropes] isn't licensed. Hotlinking, just the once - http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minis/nightmareforreals.gif --Joysweeper 16:16, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I can't make out what that is. --- Lloyd

Horror Template

I found an image on wikimedia commons that I'm currently using for my horror icon. If anyone else wants to do so the template is .
