== "Dead" Characters into a new template? ==
== Template bloat ==


This template getting way to big for everything. Maybe we split the dead to a new template? [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 14:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
We're running into the same problem we've [[Template talk:Characters/Archive1|run into before]] with the sudden bloat that this template has taken on. We need to seriously discuss this, otherwise I can see it getting ridiculous real frakking quickly. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 07:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
:Sounds like a plan. At the speed they're killing off characters now, the deceased section will like double in size before the mid-season break. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 14:52, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 
:Ditto what's been said. Probably best to leave a link in this template for the dead people, though. Perhaps a category for dead people is also in order now? (Something that can be auto-applied from the Character Data template?) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 16:07, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
:Agreed, recurring characters was completely out of hand, I cleaned it up, removing [[Richard Adar]], [[Layne Ishay]], [[Peter Laird]], and [[Kendra Shaw]] while fixing line breaks, I think it looks better now. It can probably be tightened up a little bit more.  [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 21:28, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Template bloat[edit]

We're running into the same problem we've run into before with the sudden bloat that this template has taken on. We need to seriously discuss this, otherwise I can see it getting ridiculous real frakking quickly. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 07:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
