Forum:Project: Topright

Since the general consensus of those who wished to comment was in full support, the task now is putting this template on articles throughout the wiki.

Here's how it works (this would be an example for an article with a subject that appeared in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the Nintendo DS, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2):

Each one of the games has its own "codename" (I suppose you could call it that). They are as follows:

cod1 = Call of Duty uo = Call of Duty: United Offensive fh = Call of Duty: Finest Hour cod2 = Call of Duty 2 bro = Call of Duty 2: Big Red One cod3 = Call of Duty 3 rtv = Call of Duty: Roads to Victory cod4 = Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare cod4ds = Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Nintendo DS) cod4wii = Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition waw = Call of Duty: World at War wawds = Call of Duty: World at War (Nintendo DS) wawff = Call of Duty: World at War: Final Fronts mw2 = Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 mw2ds = Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized bo = Call of Duty: Black Ops

The template will then produce the respective icons in the topright corner, which, when clicked, will link the reader over to said game's article. You can see what they look like by scrolling down to the previous discussion below.

It's fairly simple to understand how the template works once you start using it, but the hard part will be adding this to every article on the wiki, which is by no means at all an easy task. Questions, comments, or concerns about making this a wiki-wide project? 20:59, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Previous discussion
I'm rekindling a discussion that died down a while ago.

Topright is one of the lesser used templates, but it does serve a purpose. On other wikis, such as Wookieepedia, Halopedia and the 24 Wiki, topright is used to visibly categorize articles by era, movie, game, or season. In the case of Wookieepedia, it also designates featured articles and real-world articles.

In the previous discussion, a few icons for this usage were created, but the full listing was never completed. Here's what we have so far (some of these need cropping, but you get the idea) :



So, would people be interested in putting this template to use? Comments, questions, and concerns are welcome. 17:12, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

I have seen this on the Half-Life wikia and I love the system. I completely support the idea.AdvancedRookie 17:16, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

I like the idea. I support it. 17:27, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

The only issue I had in nominating this is the lack of icons, which we would need to use the template in this way. Some games such as the first Call of Duty don't have a number, so we would need ideas on how to make an icon for that. 19:16, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * With CoD1 we could make a 1 in the font that the CoD logo uses. Darkman 4 20:48, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

I'm all for it. 20:52, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

It's a great idea. --CodExpert 20:53, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

I've made the already existing icons more uniform (you can see this in action in my sandbox), but icons are still needed for the original Call of Duty and every game in the series that is not a main installment. 00:44, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

/rages/ There's none for the original??? Nah I love the idea :D TimSim (talk) 14:28, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. 17:21, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

I love this idea, I always wondered why it wasn't on this wiki...   Lima Oscar Zulu Zulu Alpha

Awsome Idea!Gman111 18:14, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Excellent idea. I literally had just thought of this, and when I searched it I got this topic :) Thanks, Bovell. I kid. In all seriousness, this needs to be implemented. 🇨🇩

I have been an active Halopedia member for the last three years, and the Tipright system was very useful when finding when a certain article takes place (Halo: CE, 2, 3, real world, etc.) I personally love the system, as it is useful for organization, and I think that this should be implemented into the Call of Duty Wiki.

Halopedia uses it, and it seems to work out great. 21:45, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Full listing of icons complete. 19:39, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Right.19:41, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

You should have "Modern Warfare" series and "World War 2" series ones.   Lima Oscar Zulu Zulu Alpha

@HellJumper: That would kinda get rid of the original intent. Theses emblems are to categorize each page to the Call of Duty game that it originated from. Era would work, but it wouldn't be quite as efficient. This is SkullRod, out. 20:42, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

It would help out with confusion we should do it Warpanda13 20:54, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
