Umm...don't we all get a say on removing bits from the char template? QuentinGeorge 05:36, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Yea, something this drastic needs to be voted on first.

Vote
This will last one week from today. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:45, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * If the vote keeps these, we should decide how to deal with hairless characters that were not bald, like Kit Fisto or Ackbar, and note it in the Manual of Style. --SparqMan 20:00, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Remove Eye and Hair Color

 * 1) I'll vote remove, partly because there are too many minor characters who are naturally hairless or whose eye colour is hard to judge from their pictures.  Maybe we could have two character templates, including an abbreviated version for characters whose physical description isn't well known? Silly Dan 20:48, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Then in those cases, we leave it either bald or unknown for hair, and unknown for eyes. -- Riffsyphon1024 03:42, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * How about 'bald' for people who could have hair, and 'none' for aliens that don't. And unknown, I think, is fine for characters whose description is...unknown. --Fade 07:42, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep Eye and Hair Color

 * 1) Keep. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:45, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Keep. QuentinGeorge 07:20, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Keep, but stick to original haircolor (as in not white or gray for elderly individuals, but their original haircolor) --Imperialles 07:24, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Good point. But some elderly characters we don't really know the original colour. QuentinGeorge 07:30, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * 1) Keep, I guess grey/white should just be marked as unknown when no info is available. --Fade 08:18, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Keep, it is particularly important for characters that we have a description for but no corresponding image.--SparqMan 17:36, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Keep.  WhiteBoy 14:07, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Keep. StarNeptune 19:36, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) Keep, although minor characters are very hard to assign such knowledge, it is quite important to the major players of Star Wars. -- Falmarin 23:47, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) Keep, original hair color could be marked as such (white, originally brown), also works for dye jobs. If we don't know, we don't know, but no sense leaving out info.--Eion 00:46, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Characters whose species do not have hair could be marked as (no hair) whereas a bald character from a species that normally has hair would be marked as (bald)--Eion 04:40, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Voting is closed due to an overwhelming majority The result of the vote is to Keep Hair Color and Eye Color, and we will follow the considerations from above. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:25, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Film portrayer
Is this really needed? Also I changed Star Wars Character to Individual. --Imperialles 07:24, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Well if everyone's going IU mad, then not really. It can be included in a trivia section. -- Riffsyphon1024 07:26, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I say stick to things which 1) Everyone has (as in a hair or eye colour), and that don't change. Weapon and Vehicle are irrelevant. I mean, what use are they for Shmi Skywalker for instance? Not to mention they change often. QuentinGeorge 07:29, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll start another vote that will end in a week. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:11, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete Film Portrayer, Weapon, and Vehicle

 * 1) Delete all. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:11, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Delete --Imperialles 08:12, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Delete --QuentinGeorge 08:13, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Delete --Fade 08:17, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) Delete, as long as portrayer (not all are portrayed in film, like Mara Jade) is clearly included in Behind the Scenes. --SparqMan 13:52, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) Delete, and what SparqMan said.  WhiteBoy 14:07, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) Delete. These catagories are irrelevent, for above stated reasons. StarNeptune 19:36, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Delete, what SparqMan said. Silly Dan 21:06, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 9) Delete, too few instances for good application--Eion 00:47, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep
Voting is closed due to an overwhelming majority The result of the vote is to Delete Film Portrayer, Weapon, and Vehicle, and we will instead put film portrayer or voice actor info in a behind-the-scenes section. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:25, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Skin color
We include details on appearance like hair and eyes, but why not skin? --SparqMan 03:45, 30 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * How varied would this be. Humans are mostly white, except for Lando, Jango, and Kamino clones. The rest are aliens that can be described on their species pages. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:41, 30 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * ...and Windu, and Jolee Bindo, and... As for non-humans (I don't understand why they are constantly referred to as "aliens", while the human homeworld isn't even known), some species have variable skin color. Twi'leks, for example. - Sikon 06:59, 30 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, I guess I did forget about those other dark-skinned guys. -- Riffsyphon1024 07:05, 30 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I think we should add it, some species have multiple skin colors (human, twi'lek, duros (unless those bounty hunters in KotOR 2 were early Neimoidian) and some more I don't remember). Neomessiah 11:57, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Center name
Can the character name please be centered? --SparqMan 17:51, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC) Firefox and Safari render it aligned left. IE is more forgiving for sloppy HTML. It should include a "text-align:center;" in the colspan style. --SparqMan 20:16, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * It looks like its already centered. What article is it not centering in? -- Riffsyphon1024 17:58, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Anything? --SparqMan 15:08, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * My Linux and Windows Firefox builds render it centered. I don't know if the problem could be related to your Mac usage, but it's a possibility. Actually, now that I look at the source, I don't see any reason for any browser to center the character name. And now that I look at the history, I added the proper code to center the name back in April, but Jason Palpatine removed it when he removed the hair and eye colors and added weapon and vehicle. In fact, it looks like he just copied the Wikipedia version over our own already-modified version. Argh. – Aidje talk 15:58, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not on a Mac, but I tried it there too. If an admin will unlock this we could fix it rather promptly. --SparqMan 17:02, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Weird. The strange part isn't that it doesn't work for you, it's that it does work for me. It shouldn't work for anybody. Well, as you said, I guess we just have to wait for Riff to unlock it for us. – Aidje talk 18:10, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, its unlocked. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:29, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)
