Forum:Fallout / Fallout 2 talking head layout

Okay everyone, I think I have finally come to a personal descision on how all the talking head characters' articles should look. Aradesh is my golden example, as I have been working on him for a while. There are many new additions to his page, including:
 * the "Tell-me-abouts" now being formatted in an easy to read collapsible table
 * The relatively new template  is being used under the new "Interactions overview" subcategory in "Interactions"
 * In the gallery at the foot of the page, there are pictures of the talking head's 3 different dispositions - neutral, good, and bad - along with little quotes that correspond with the given facial expression

Now, I know there could possibly be some things wrong with the article that I am not picking up, but that's what other people are for. Post a few comments here, commending the things you would like to see on the rest of the talking head articles, or if something is bugging you, please don't hesitate to share. I want a unified layout so I can get a move on with finishing up the rest of the th's, and possibly soon, working on the rest of the characters for Fallout. And so on and so forth...

It looks great, Ghouly! Although the little "(not lootable)" thing should probably be removed, the whole armor looting thing is consistant for all three of the older games. It should be plenty obvious you can't loot the armor.

I rather like the quotes in the gallery idea. :) Nitty Tok. 01:25, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Duly noted... however, I only considered adding this tidbit of info because some of the less-notable NPC's do have "lootable" armor. Obviously, most don't, so if people (just one more person) feels it is unecessary, it shall go. :P Ghouly89 (Talk)01:47, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * The only one that comes to mind is the gambler in Junktown, right? Nitty Tok. 01:55, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Man, did I have to gravedig to find this forum thread. Anyway, I have one more item of discussion pertaining to said character articles:


 * I believe it was Porter who proposed this a while ago, but I would like to have an exception to the standard 140 pixel gallery widths. I think it is a waste of space considering the width of all article content under Oasis being around 640 pixels, which leaves roughly 120 pixels unused in the galleries with the dimensions of the TH images. Also, for most talking head articles, there are only 3 pictures of the character (with their neutral, good, and bad dispositions), and in my opinion, they fit very nicely in a full-sized row.

Proposition: Remove gallery widths for Fallout / Fallout 2 talking head articles

This is a simple thing to decide. A short "yes" or "no" from Porter21 / any other administrators would suffice ;) -- Ghouly89 (Talk) 22:35, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

Hell, might as well make a poll out of this. -- Ghouly89 (Talk) 01:02, January 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't mind really. The standard width of 140 was intended for Monaco (where it allowed 4 images per row with no wasted space), and since that skin is gone, I don't see much sense in sticking to this limit anyway. -- Porter21 (talk) 23:18, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

Yes Hell I say just remove all the restrictions, then it falls nicely into the width of the page and looks better formatted. Thats what I have been doing for the gallerys I have added to FNV pages and they generally look good. ☣Avatar☣ 00:48, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
