Special case

[edit]

For now, there's a template just for History of merit badges (Boy Scouts of America) that is called "BSAseriesMBHistory". It looks just like this one, only it as another image below the box and above the portal tag. This is due to the unique layout of that article and all the white space.Rlevse 17:10, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This has been resolved. The BSAseres template is used there instead. --NThurston 19:25, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Portal box

[edit]

Try centering the portal box.Rlevse 19:11, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with the box. Why making the template encumbering by adding a box inside a box? CG 10:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
We like it.Rlevse 11:23, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
1. The portal box is a standard way of identifying portals (see Template:portal) so I think it is good to retain that structure. 2. Any page that has the series template should also have the portal box, so putting it all in one stroke makes it easier (and more consistent). 3. I really do like the current structure as it includes the box in a streamlined way, which looks better than having an extra box floating somewhere out there. --NThurston 13:10, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If you chek up the history you'll find that I replaced the floating box by a small text in the infobox (see also the Scouting portal) to make the template a little smaller, but you have reincluded the box. CG 15:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
We know. We like the portal box.Rlevse 15:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. All the portal links share the same "box" format, which makes it consistent around the entire Wikiproject. --NThurston 19:44, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Retire...

[edit]

I think it is time to retire this template. I created it well before {{Infobox WorldScouting}} and {{Scouting}} were developed— those templates are more universal. We should use {{Infobox WorldScouting}} for organizations and events and {{Infobox Person}} for biographies; {{Scouting}} can be used with all of these. --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 15:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)  Done --—— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 18:54, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
