Eternal Nothingness XIII Soon the emptiness will shatter your heart—here in this world of nothingness! As lightless oblivion devours you, drown in the ever-blooming darkness! — 23:46, 13 February 2019 (UTC) Hello, everyone. Recently, changes were made to our maintenance templates. These shrunk the full-body character renders we use in them to a ridiculously tiny size, one where I feel using said images is no longer appropriate. I spoke to KeybladeSpyMaster about this, knowing he switched our maintenance templates from using Days sprites to renders in the first place, and he gave me his blessing to make drafts of new templates using KHUχ medals. These can all be seen here. KSM asked that I share my drafts with the community before making any changes, so I was wondering what everyone thinks. I realize this is a small issue in the grand scheme of things, but I think using medal images is a much better option. Regardless of the outcome, I thank everyone for their time and input. :)

KeybladeSpyMaster - I do it for my family, my home, my friends! I do it for her! TALK - Welcome to Spy Force One. - 07:22 PM Thu, February 14, 2019 MDT I really like these new templates. However, I really like the current quote of Template:Split. I'd suggest maybe using this medal for it, if we choose to keep it. Otherwise, though, I think they do look better than the character renders. On a related note, these images look ridiculously tiny anyways when on mobile. On the KHDatabase, I've found writing them out as divs works for making the picture disappear when it gets to a certain size. It'd be a lot of work, but perhaps we might want to consider rebuilding this altogether? Then, we don't have teeny tiny images on mobile either; it'd be better to just get rid of them altogether at that screen size.

Eternal Nothingness XIII My show now, Keyblade master. Who am I? Oh, my name's Axel. Got it memorized? — 01:40, 15 February 2019 (UTC) My OCD gives me a preference to have the medal image used match the character who says our chosen quote. Would a compromise be possible where we keep your quote but use a Namine medal image, since she is the one who says it? EDIT: 01:46, 15 February 2019 (UTC) - I'm thinking this one, in which Namine is depicted at the same age she is in Days, where your preferred quote is from. EDIT: 01:49, 15 February 2019 (UTC) - How do we feel about the Young Xehanort quote? Since it's a warning and not a ban, would "I said, hands off!" be better? Both it and "Begone," are from KH3D.

TheSilentHero used Substitute! It's not very effective... — 18:49, 15 February 2019 (UTC) The templates look good. One thing that bothers me, though, is that the medals are all in different places in the template. Maybe it would be better to give them all a set place, so that when multiple of these templates are used, it looks neater. For the Warning2 template, I don't think "Begone!" is a very fitting quote. What about Terra-Xehanort's "Stop fighting back...!" (Using this image)?

Eternal Nothingness XIII Pity to be so ignorant. As you're only able to see the surface of things, I should not expect you to appreciate my true might. — 20:04, 15 February 2019 (UTC) I agree having the images in different places is a tad distracting. I was merely copy/pasting the current coding, so my apologies for that. If we truly want image placement variety, I was thinking we follow where a character is looking. Characters looking to the left on the right side of the template, and characters looking to the right on the left. Honestly, I think one position is a better option. @TheSilentHero - Did you see I suggested "I said, hands off!" as an alternative Young Xehanort quote? If you really want to use Terra-Xehanort with your preferred quote, I do not object. However, thanks to the OCD in me, I personally think this medal would be a better image pick. The Guardian isn't there when Terra-Xehanort says the quote you've chosen. That's a nitpick though, so no big deal, whatever we decide. :)
