TimeHi all,
I was essentially drafted in by a friend to make a few templates (see my userpage for a contribs list) and now that those jobs are essentially done, I'm free to make any big or small templates that you chaps might find useful. With that in mind, feel free to request templates here. With larger jobs I'll await confirmation from Andytizer, so as not to clutter the wiki with random and unnecessary/ill-fitting templates, but smaller ones I'm sure he'll be fine with.
So yeah, I'm your man :)

Thanks so much with your work on the templates so far :). I have some bigger projects to work on but I will need to spend more time drafting and discussing with everyone before we implement.
One small thing you could work on is the Template:Stub which has issues displaying when next to other divs like the infobox, and also looks weird on iOS. The text is shifted outside of the div.
I'll see what I can do! Thankfully I have a copy of Xcode, which gives me an iOS emulator to check the browser :p
Thanks so much! I suspect the iPhone issue is the same as the one I get in Firefox:

The stub template is designed to be placed above the infobox, so I've moved it up :P
Yeap, fixed. Basically, you forgot to give the two floating divs widths, so they ended up sliding underneath each other. Then you hack-fixed it (in Chrome, anyway) by manually splitting the text into two lines.
Should work fine now :) I also added an {{edit}} template to the wiki, so we can avoid all the nitty gritty parser code :P
Awesome
Just wondering if we should have a 'featured article' template box (similar in dimensions to the stub box) which we display on previous featured articles, essentially highlighting them as good work from the community.
I am interested in this, but I want to complete more work on layout and templates before we can really start to show off :).
User:Masked_Turk/Sandbox/Ex-featured_article - Something like that?
I think it would be best to wait until we get some really good articles with new templates in (I think we have yet to reach a 'gold standard' of PCGamingWiki articles :D).
I am working on an Availability table: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/User:Andytizer/Sandbox - not ready for converting template yet still thinking on it, open to discussion.
hungry_eyes is working on this: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/User:Hungry_eyes/Sandbox/Gaming_Glossary
I am thinking of adding a TOC with anchors to each item so that it will be easier to link to a specific definition. This might also be a good candidate to add to Template:Beginner which could also do with some work.
With regards to the availability table - there is no row for other digital distributors other than Steam, Origin & GOG. I'm assuming (as you said before) these would be listed underneath?
I think the headings on the availability table could do with some work - they are a bit confusing atm.
