Also I've got lots of such templates, and making more and have no interest in avoiding the BR approach to formatting which seems fine to me. ] (]) 10:01, 15 January 2010 (UTC) | Hi, sorry I reverted some of your cleanup.

Cite id
Hiya, could you fill me in on the background to that edit? I could not see any references to cite id on the citation/core talk page. I was not aware there was a problem with cite id; it has the advantage over the present formatting that the reference jumped to is highlighted in blue. --JN466 20:50, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
- The problem is with the
citeelement: it isn't appropriate for the purposes it was used for. There was discussion to move away from it at Template talk:Citation/core. I agree that my first version wasn't optimal, though. I have changed the article to use<span class="citation">instead, which keeps the highlighting intact. Nice work on the article, by the way. —Ms2ger (talk) 19:01, 7 November 2009 (UTC)- Thanks very much for sorting it out; I'll use that method in future. User:ChrisO wrote the article; I helped him organise the references.
- Btw, Google Chrome does not handle jumps to the 2nd (or 3rd ...) column of references correctly. It places the blue highlight around the correct ref, but scrolls too far down. In Mozilla it is perfect: the reference highlighted in blue is the top line on the screen, even if it is in the right-hand ref column. --JN466 11:53, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- I would've sworn you were ChrisO, for some reason. (I have to say it was one of the better formatted references section I've seen, though.)
- I thought we didn't give WebKit columns anymore for precisely that reason, seems like I was wrong. Do you know if a bug was filed on WebKit already? —Ms2ger (talk) 20:24, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you...
for this! I'm useless in template space and so I rarely venture into it, but I thought we should have a new template for a new decade! Cheers, HJMitchell You rang? 18:08, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

WP:ACTOR and non-standard Filmographies (redux)
Hi. I just read the long thread at:
I've stumbled into this issue during the last few days, having worked on maybe 20 filmographies attempting to clean-up poor markup and styling.
I think the time has come to sort the issue of non-standard styling in the name of a wikiproject. The whole initiative originating there reeks of article ownership, wikiprojects as "governing" bodies, and impeding site accessibility in the name of meretricious appearance.
I think the appropriate outcome is filmographies either implemented as bog-standard wikitables, or a suite of templates/css that allow central control of the styling (i.e. to site-wide conventions).
The current point of discussion is at:
I hope to see you there.
