:Okay, let me put it this way. The template's currently used on 39 pages, all of which need to be edited. Also, your changes seem to have resized some of the existing boxes, making them less aesthetically pleasing, an meaning they no longer conform with the other templates. I just want to agree on where we're going with this before putting in extra work (and I still don't think it adds any particularly valuable information). —[[User:Adamcox82|Adam]] <sup>([[User talk:Adamcox82|talk]])</sup> 07:51, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

::I've come up with a solution that means the template can continue to be used in it's current form without all the pages using it needing to be changed, and also allows for the addition of the "latest appearance" field. Although the tags read first/latest game, they'll still display appearance. Also, I've fixed the issue with the over-sized fields. --[[User:Adamcox82|Adamcox82]] 07:49, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

"Irregularity"

I tried to fix the caption portion of the box, but I fail at coding. You can see something something's wrong by looking at the Pamela's Father article's character template box-thing. I don't know how to fix it. I tried pasting a bit of code from the Places Template (which doesn't have this problem), but it didn't work right. Can someone fix it so we can put proper captions under the images in the Character Template boxes? --Ionizer (t c) 14:22, 18 August 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Never mind. After fiddling with it a bit more, I fixed it. At least, I think I did. Feel free to blame me (then revert/re-fix the template) if I broke something. --Ionizer (t c) 14:33, 18 August 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
