MarioWiki talk:Navigation templates

Level articles
Hey, should we add a quick note on level article nav templates, such as Template:NSMB2 levels? We should mention color standards, yellow seems to be the recurring color for such templates. Or, perhaps we can organise a new colorization standard for such templates to correspond to the game that they pertain to. Also, a mention of navigation templates should be included on the Level Articles Policy.

 * The level articles already get the same colour as the game they belong to, but I added specific reference to levels and explicitly stated that the colouration scheme still applies to auxiliary templates like them, just to be sure. I also mentioned the colour-coding on MW:LAP (which already mentioned nav templates, but called them "navboxes"). - 06:02, 19 September 2012 (EDT)

Mario Party
Do the Mario Party templates have to be so... yellow? I know it's set up so that there's an entire spectrum of colours, but the yellow is just blindingly bright on my screen. Would it be possible to make it a couple shades darker?

About the navtemplates about Mario enemies
Shouldn't we add the fill colors for enemy nav. templates? Stonehill (talk) 21:40, 20 April 2014 (EDT)

Adding to page
Hi, should there be information about the bestiary navigation template under the "specialized classes" area? I'm just wondering because bestiaries seem like special types of articles. I'd like to have an administrator involved, since the page is fully protected. 20:32, 3 March 2017 (EST)


 * Sorry for the delay in getting to this. Thanks for the suggestion, it's been added to the page.

 * Yus, thanks!

Add info, please
Similarly to my above request eight months ago, is it possible if an administrator could...
 * 1) Reorganize the templates in the "specialized class" bulleted lists by alphabetical order of template name?
 * 2) Add details to the list regarding ?

Thanks! 23:41, 17 November 2017 (EST)

New colour for Mario & Sonic?
This is something I've been thinking about for a while, is it perhaps worth having a separate colour for the Mario & Sonic series navigation templates? At the moment they just use the default crossover colour, but given that there are now six templates for the series spanning 12 individual games, more than some of the other series/games in the list that have unique colours, I'm wondering if it's worth trying to pick out a new one for the series.

 * Yeah, I agree. TBH, this is something I've been considering as well. Maybe use the color orange, since that color is currently retired from use? 12:33, June 4, 2020 (EDT)
 * I was thinking purple, as a mix of red and blue, but that belongs to Wario. 12:42, June 4, 2020 (EDT)
 * I meant to respond to this a lot sooner, sorry... I was originally thinking just going for a different shade of turquoise similar to how Super Smash Bros. differs from the usual crossovers, but a different one could work just as well. The series doesn't really have an obvious overarching colour scheme, each game seems to pick out a different smaller subset of colours for its individual theme. I don't really know entirely how to go about this, I'd be fine with just about anything. BBQ Turtle (talk) 16:28, August 11, 2020 (EDT)

Updates for SML and G&W
The Super Mario Land series and mario-sml class name should be deleted from the color chart as it is not used and will never be since the series page has been deleted. I am intending to create a separate template for the Game & Watch Gallery series due to the recent vote to trim G&W content. The G&W console template will look like all other console templates, while the series template will focus on the Gallery games and minigames with Mario content. This means the project page's description " (which is both console- and series-based)" must be changed. I am not sure what is a good header color for the new series template. Any suggestions?--Platform (talk) 11:01, July 2, 2022 (EDT)
 * Late reply: well, it's perhaps a crossover so maybe that sea-green general/misc template can work. 23:31, August 29, 2022 (EDT)
