{{KrytenKoro|Okay, see [[Isa]].

Notice how you have to scroll down to even see any of the article?

I know we want to infuse some personality into these templates, but it's interfering, very much, with the presentation.

Therefore, I suggest that we incorporate the cleanup templates into one, that allows multiple inputs. I am fairly certain that I could create a version that allows a number of inputs, corresponding to the current one, along with details. So

<nowiki>{{cleanup|betterpic|translation|unreleased|expand|detail=The current pic is missing part of his arm. Information needed on appearance, sort out story section.}}</nowiki>

This shouldn't be too hard to code, and so the major decision here is: "Is this okay?", and "What character?"}}

{{Maggosh|text=So how would it look, dare I ask?}}
{{Xion4ever|time=03:21, December 25, 2009 (UTC)|text=Sounds like a good idea. The true way to see if it will work out would be to test-edit some pages for (maybe) a day and then post comments/concerns here. As for the character? The BBS characters (at least until the release date) will be hit hard both edit and reading wise. The DAYS weapon pages however could work (for a "hidden" test edit); they aren't read as much as the BBS articles are, plus most of these pages have more then one cleanup template.}}
{{cleanup|betterpic|images|expand|detail=The current pic is missing part of his arm. Information needed on appearance, sort out story section.}}

{{KrytenKoro|The Delete template should remain on its own, while "under construction" and "unreleased" should be formatted like "translation" is, since they are notices, not issues.}}

-{{Xion4ever|time=16:41, December 25, 2009 (UTC)|text=Not bad, now to test edit it? Or are we going to use it immediately? If we're going to test edit I've tossed ideas around above. Nice job!}}
-{{KrytenKoro|Well, it's working now (except for categories, which I can add now), so unless we want to change the character/colors, it's done.}}
-{{Azul|time=20:31, December 25, 2009 (UTC)|text=Is the issue space or the way the templates look on the page?}}
-{{KrytenKoro|Space, mostly. Too much of the templates are fluff, and while that's okay for one, when you have two or more it makes the page look terrible.}}
-{{Azul|time=04:59, December 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=While I do agree that the templates take up space, this new template takes up about as much as 2 templates. Will this really be helping? Or is the template above just a "rough draft"?}}
-{{KrytenKoro|Wow, I totally lost track of this discussion.
-Okay!
-#We need to fix this template to be acceptable to everyone.
-#We need to implement it pretty much everywhere, and get rid of the old templates.}}
