Another downside to this is that it makes it harder to add a new feature column due to the complex templates being used. However, just let me know if another one needs to be added/removed/whatever, and I can make the change ASAP (or feel free to learn the crazy dark magic of wiki templates and parser functions). -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 17:25, 9 February 2012 (EST)

You might have noticed that the table formatting has changed. It's slowly being converted to pull the information from the individual wiki pages for a skin. Normal (manual) entries for skins without a wiki page will still work. To change info for a skin that has a wiki page, go to that wiki page and edit the section called "Special skin features". Now the features will be listed in both places with one edit. If you have any questions/concerns then please PM Ned Scott on the forums or leave a message on User talk:Ned Scott.

Since the available Artworks @ fanart.tv are gettings the same for every Type (Movies/Shows/Music) i though about this table Style+grouping:

possible additions

Maybe add:

  • Cinema Experience
  • Global Search
  • Weather Plus

-- Ned Scott


In general I think the layout could use some re-arranging. Adding new columns will make a very wide table. Maybe it needs some splitting up to make it better readable (don't ask me how though)

New module for skins to use

Random and last items of video smartplaylist script for Skins

Watchlists/Global search also have their own wiki page so better point to that one

How should the Skin Features box show up on individual skin pages

Right now on individual skin pages they just have a sort of raw dump-list of skin features. This list is taken from the same template that populates this page, using a switch to change the appearance based on what page the template is being viewed from. I wanted to incorporate a listing of these features on the individual skin pages in some way, as well as make it so they show up in two places, but I'm not sure how it should appear on those skin pages. The raw-list was used just as a temporary placeholder, but doesn't seem very effective.

They could be a series of logos, they could show up in the infobox on the upper right corner, they could be a grid, etc. We could even have it trigger not only the feature, but a short summary for those features. If anyone has any concepts/ideas, feel free to list them. I'll also post this message to the skin forums, since most people aren't looking on the wiki talk pages. -- Ned Scott 00:20, 3 March 2012 (EST)
