Rank lines and Ordinal numbers

Hey Ariule, I really like the rank lines you have created, they look really good when combined with the tables for officers! As for what you are doing with the ordinal numbers, are you sure you want to do that? You are setting yourself up for a task that is beyond huge and looking at the code, I can't see it being adopted by other wiki contributors so it might be a fruitless task.--Dmon (talk) 12:15, 1 January 2018 (EST)

Just an attempt to make the "wall of text" on most of the pages both easier to read. My thanks for the comment. Using the template for ranks was easier than the original lines of code. Ariule (talk) 12:29, 1 January 2018 (EST)

Do you plan to do the other nations ranks? I would live them the spread across the wiki. I also reversed your edits on the Brigade pages as the mandate is that we write the ordinal numbers below one hundred in wikilinks rather than use the numerals per the CGL writing guidelines. I would link you to the guidelines but I am not sure where they are found now due BattleCorps site going down last year..--Dmon (talk) 12:32, 1 January 2018 (EST)

Yes, the links remain ordinal numbers, but the visual presented to the reader includes the super script. The idea is that with lines such as

• "the Fourth Succession war where the Fourth Guards participated" is difficult to read, compared to
  
• "the Fourth Succession war where the 4^th Guards participated"

If the snakes want their own RankInlineTemplate.... they can create it =] Ariule (talk) 12:36, 1 January 2018 (EST)

Bloody elsies! I am a proud warrior of the combine so I shall simply have the ISF steal your code and create my own!--Dmon (talk) 12:39, 1 January 2018 (EST)

Most excellent! Feel free to do so. I had a difficult time locating all the rank insignias as they were scattered about the site and on multiple pages: [1] and [2].

My demonstration of the superscript usage above describe what my thoughts were on editing text? Ariule (talk) 12:42, 1 January 2018 (EST)

Composition History

Yo Ariule, I think it might be a better idea to leave the Composition history sections of the SLDF articles as the standard format and concentrait on posting the commanding officer tables in said formations. We use to have somebody who was incredibly table happy about a year ago who tried to convert literally everything into a table, we are still undoing the damage. The ranklines in the officer sections are brilliant as I said to you a few days ago, but it is in my opinion not needed to convert composition sections, that part is about the units not the commanders, a good example of the ones you have already done is 7th Royal BattleMech Division, not a single mention of officers in the composition section at all, just as it should be.--Dmon (talk) 14:06, 14 January 2018 (EST)

HauptmannKommandant

Wondering if you can figure out small issue with your excellent Template:LyranRankInline - Got a HauptmannKommandant red link which is caused by that template. Cyc (talk) 06:10, 16 January 2018 (EST)
