			== 16th November 2013 revision ==

			This is a more compact design I've been working on on and off for ages (see [[User:Macbeth/Battledome]]). This version doesn't have a section for hp gain per win, as that mechanic has been removed in the new Battledome, can display a description if present (i.e. older challengers), and has a section at the bottom where battle images can be displayed (this was going to be done automagically but that's a headache and they've changed where all the images are for the new battledome).

			So that it won't break for those challengers that have hp gain per win in them already, option six is still hp gain per win but the template ignores it. A dummy option six will have to be included for new challengers until/unless we revise all existing challengers. Many of these options can now be specified by name as well (i.e. 4= or difficulty=).

			Difficulties (speaking of) and starting HPs can now be displayed with [[Template:Dif]], which will sort out the red/orange/green colours for you.

			Hope that's all as clear as mud, --[[User:Macbeth\|Macbeth]] 21:40, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Option #8: updated

 Ok, I saw the proposed new layout on the Cave Chia and I've got one question and some suggestions. First, what should we do with opponents that have large pictures, but small articles? (ex. Giant Ghostkerchief) For the Giant Ghostkerchief I think the solution is simple, use only one image. The Giant Ghostkerchief is really notable only as a Battledome Opponent, and so a single picture in the Battledome template will do. However, for other opponents such as the Pant Devil or The Esophagor other images will be used also. (Gallery of Evil images, etc.) NeoEva88 16:44, 8 Jul 2006 (CDT)

-[http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Template:BattleInfo&oldid=51780 This revision] brings in an eighth parameter for setting the colour of the border - the idea is that the border colour corresponds to the arena the challenger is from. If unspecified (for backwards compatibility, mainly) it'll default to the battledome red. Basically, at the end of the template, include "island", "battle", "tyrannian", "water", "snow", "space", or "stone" (without quotes). For example,

			::::I don't think spaces are allowed in class names. You'd have to escape them if they were, anyway, because to go on a tangent for a moment...

	Hey y'all. I'm changing the format of the battle info again. I find the colored borders really confusing. I always have to look up which color cooresponds to which arena. As such, I explicitily stating the arena in the information. Also, I am removing the "Steal" item in the table because I plan on listing ALL the weapons in the order than they are stolen for each opponent. (See [[Advisor Broo]] to see what I mean.) Sorry about editing with out explaining Macbeth, I was hoping to create an example before I talked about it.- [[User:Emeraldosprey\|Emerald Osprey]] 22:24, 28 November 2010 (CST)		Hey y'all.
