Re: Wiki style guide

I've made some Note Templates . If you do decide to use one for your purpose, I suggest using {{info}} rather than {{warn}} . Thanks for those! I've made a template at https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Template:Broken_lists that uses your {{warn}} template, specifically calling out the list issue. ...

Re: Wiki style guide

Would it be a good idea to make a warning template to put at the top of rules pages which use formatting that doesn't display correctly on the BGA view, to spare the poor reader from trying to follow a dense set of rules where they aren't aware that it's missing all of the numbers and bullets and fo...

Shame that to anyone who doesn't get the reference (and surely most people won't?), this just looks like the game artist can't draw lions.

Re: Placing Targi infront or own Targi

Official Thames Kosmos rules (https://thamesandkosmos.com/manuals/ful ... Manual.pdf) say the same. You are allowed to place a Targi opposite your own Targi, you're just missing out on a second crossover point by doing so.

Re: Confusing use of 'Done' in the interface

The button did say "Cancel" from 2013 until a couple of months ago, it's not something that regular players just got used to. https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=58353 (to change the button from "Cancel" to "Done") was raised in 2022 and implemented by an admin in June 20...

Re: PATH OF CIVILIZATION: Follow the leaders, from 2 to 5 players!

I always wonder what publishers and artists think when BGA decide to swap out a box art character for Ned Flanders, making the artwork sillier for the sake of a joke that (25 years after the golden age of the show) a lot of people won't even recognise as being a joke. But if this was AI box art to b...

Re: Wiki style guide

Thanks for the feedback. I've made HTML/CSS less prominent and regrouped by list type. A suggested plan of action, not necessarily in this order: Share bug report(s) to increase votes. Test CSS workarounds and agree on a set of recommended CSS rules. | Wiki reference Ask more users to test the reco...

Re: [PREMIUM GIFTCARDS] Offer +700 games to your friends!

This year's winter/summer calendar announcements of puppets with weirdly shaped laptops were AI generated art as well. Given the use of Ned Flanders as a kind-of mascot on the news pages and socials, BGA doesn't seem that interested in commissioning original character artwork, or copyright.

Re: Wiki style guide

Just came across this thread and added to the wiki formatting page today, let me know if you have any questions on any of the edits or templates. I saw your updates from a couple of weeks ago. This is good comprehensive stuff, but maybe a little too technical in places, for a casual rule writer who...
