Slight change to template

I put the [[Image: ... ]] part on the template side, rather than on the article side. That would make it easier to make alterations in the future, if needed. --StarGeek 12:38, 4 May 2006 (PDT)

I'm looking to use the box for exploration badges on the city zone pages. In order to not need an additional line of text above every box just to contain a link to the badge's article, I've edited the template itself to turn the bolded name into a link. Now the template can be used with or without an additional text line as the needs of the individual badge dictate. - Sister Leortha 10:41, 6 June 2006 (PDT)

DPL

I just updated the template to optionally use DPL, and I started a thread on the forums here to discuss it. -- Sekoia 05:22, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

Text Alignment

First two examples to show what I mean:

Germinator Terminator The Praetorian Hamidon should know by now that sending one colonizing Seed isn't enough to retake First Ward. You dread the day it does... You have taken down the Seed of Hamidon to earn this badge.

Ace This statue honors Mustang, a valiant hero who fought during WWII.

Is there a way to force the badge name and description text to always align with one another and then center the badge image in the remaining space? I would mess with it myself, but I am never very secure in messing with things that use DPL and I also didn't want to F anything up if folks don't care about the text mismatch that tends to drive me batty. —  Talk · Cont 08:29, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Are you talking about essentially bumping the text in Ace to the right in order to align it with the text in Germinator Terminator? I suppose we could probably hard-code the size of the left division to something like 130 (arbitrary number I'm just throwing out there because it covers the 128-wide image in the first box), but we'd have to make sure that's large enough for all badge images and it might not look very good when smaller badges are listed by themselves. Alternately, we might add an optional parameter (something like "imagewidth", maybe?) to the template to allow you to force the size of the left division to a particular size. --Eabrace 11:46, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I mean moving Ace's text to the right to align it to the wider badge. The 'imagewidth' parameter you are suggesting, would that: A) be used to allow for less space when a badge is listed alone to reduce whitespace in the box or B) to decrease the size of large badge icons so that a smaller width for that cell can be used in general? Also, I am fairly sure that the badges max out at 128px in width. If you are curious how a similar thing looks, Pointsphere (Justice)/Badges might give you a clue aabout it, though there are no descriptions there and some large badges are made a bit smaller. —  Talk · Cont
