Template talk:Nchoice

is there any way to set up the template so that you can use or NOT use the variables?..

Can you sketch out an example of what you want? -- Mr. Flay 06:34, 20 August 2007 (MDT)

You have SEVEN parameters in this template. I strongly recommend using variables. SigmaEpsilon (talk) 12:11, 20 August 2007 (MDT)

Nevertheless, I changed the template so that you CAN enter the information directly, even without naming the variables. SigmaEpsilon (talk) 21:53, 20 August 2007 (MDT)

Is there a way for each role to have a pre-set colour, rather than someone having to find the RGB code for whatever colour themselves? Somestrangeflea 09:33, 20 August 2007 (MDT)

Pre-set colours would be convenient, but probably a pain to implement (though I'm not really sure .. I haven't looked at conditionals too closely in mediawiki). It might be nice to create a few boilerplate templates for commonly used colour codes. --YYCguy 11:18, 20 August 2007 (MDT)

With a minor change to the template, I can make it so you can just type "blue" or "red" and it will show up in that color. SigmaEpsilon (talk) 12:11, 20 August 2007 (MDT)

I just made {{rgb}} which turns a color name (e.g. blue) into a color code (e.g. #00a). This should make things easier. SigmaEpsilon (talk) 19:29, 20 August 2007 (MDT)

i would prefer to have the parameters explained under a separate header... that way, if someone wanted to use the template, they could just highlight & copy it from this page w/o having to type the full syntax, and also w/o having to delete the explanations of the variables...-- LyingBrian 02:49, 21 August 2007 (MDT)

O.K. I cleaned up the parameter descriptions a bit. I hope you guys like it. SigmaEpsilon (talk) 12:39, 21 August 2007 (MDT)
