Template talk:Disambig

Picture choice
Since I find to trace of a discussion about this awful picture choice on the talk pages of the 2 protagonists, here I go...

Disambiguation = distinguish between DIFFERENT things which have the same name. The current picture represents 4 things which have the same name because... they are the SAME player.

About last comment on choosing this picture: "It represents it better for common name, different subject, better than something with a barely common name whose article isn't even a disambiguation."
 * Sure, let's represent "common name and different subject" with "common name and common subject" (Tarikochi), whose article doesn't even exist...

 * I see Patheticcockroach's point; could another image be found? By the way, when did we decide on this image? 01:30, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Image Change?
I tried my hand at making a new Disambig template. Tell me what you think:

 * Fucking nice. =0
 * Just noticed the change today... Very nice :) 11:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * While I much prefer the 2 different images of a ghost (pretend ghost vs actual ghost) over the 4 same images of the same player, there currently isn't any disambig articles for the 2 ghosts.  For most readers, ghost would not be a very common subject for disambig.  How about picking something more common such as rune (mining metal vs magic stone)?  Or some other disambig subject?

Few ideas I was working on just now:

The second one, not sure about the outline though (changed it to solid, it looks better in my opinion):

And the last one before I get back to work:

 * I like Karlis' and Bufar's ones. Use one of those. 19:07, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I suppose we are keeping the original one then? 23:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No, but when I tried to change it someone reverted it. Maybe if we could reach some sort of consensus it would go over better. 02:43, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should add these to the main page? Or maybe have a vote to see if we should set them up, and if so; which ones. -- 02:49, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * To be completely honest, I really don't care what happens as long as the template is changed. 04:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm with bufar, the current pictured doesn't fit at all. 12:39, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Since it seems that everyone here dislikes the chikoritapro version, I reverted it back to the ghosts until a consensus is formed. 04:07, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I like Tarikochi's better than the ghosts one. But I think we all agree that we should choose one of the templates Karlis or Bufar made. 12:07, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe if we could get the notice at the top of the page to advertise this, we could choose a more suitable template. 23:51, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Lol @ baby red dragon. 04:13, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Internal link
How about this? I worked on Bufar's version, but modified it slightly to include the "internal link" part. It was bothering me that some articles pointed to disambig pages when it was not supposed to. 05:50, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I like this one best of all, but I would also like to have the link to "add an item". Most of those above are just too big IMO, so could we perhaps make the text slightly smaller?   21:16, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I like this one too. Let me make the font size smaller. 21:35, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Personally, I don't think "Add an item" is necessary. But here it is, and it looks weird. 06:03, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It does look weird, done with that formatting. I think it would be better to have it continue on the same line above, and have the text say something like "If something is missing, [ add it]."  Or just leave it off altogether, I'm not really that fussed actually.  :-D   19:00, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, just leave out the adding thing. Anyone who doesn't know how to edit a page probably wouldn't add another disambig link anyway. 21:04, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Image change 2
Maybe change the images to a picture of a spinning plate, and a dragon platebody? "Dragon plate"?
