Article Design Tests/Archive

This is a place to store old page design experiments. These are retained for two main reasons: to provide a reference point for any proposed modifications of existing page designs, and to provide inspirational material for any new page design.

Note that all text on this page remains in the state it was in when it was created, and so may refer to things which are no longer true or relevant.

="Building Roster" Style= The current style for "building rosters" (e.g. Empire buildings) has several issues. There is currently no information provided as to what tier/level the main settlement needs to before each building can be constructed. There is also no information about which buildings are part of the same chain (what buildings upgrade into). These ought to be resolved before anyone creates the pages required for Wood Elf Buildings, and Beastmen buildings, and before updating the Bretonnia buildings. Therefore, I have proposed the 2 new styles demonstrated below (I have also included the old style for comparison).

Pros & Cons

 * [[File:Ua arrow decrease 1.png]] Missing information on what tier the building is
 * [[File:Ua arrow decrease 1.png]] Missing information on what buildings are part of what chain
 * [[File:Arrow increase 1.png]] Shows effects, costs, and requirements efficiently
 * [[File:Arrow increase 1.png]] Fairly compact

Pros & Cons

 * [[File:Arrow increase 1.png]] Clearly shows what tier the building is
 * [[File:Arrow increase 1.png]] Much easier to compare costs and effects of different tiers of the same building
 * [[File:Arrow increase 1.png]] Clearly shows what chain the building is part of (if any)
 * [[File:Arrow increase 1.png]] Shows effects, and costs (could show requirements easily)
 * [[File:Ua arrow decrease 1.png]] Takes up more space
 * [[File:Ua arrow decrease 1.png]] Design still feels somewhat crowded

Pros & Cons

 * [[File:Arrow increase 1.png]] Clearly shows what tier the building is
 * [[File:Arrow increase 1.png]] Clearly shows what chain the building is part of (if any)
 * [[File:Arrow increase 1.png]] Extremely compact
 * [[File:Ua arrow decrease 1.png]] Does not shows effects, costs, or requirements
