This template was considered for deletion on 29 November 2010. The result of the discussion was "no consensus". |
"Affiliation" generates a colored bar behind the character's name. These are the colors I chose when fixing Affiliation to appear in the template (slightly revised from what was originally used) with reasoning:
I couldn't think of additional factions. I considered adding one for "G.I. Joe (formerly Cobra)", and vice-versa, but that only affects a very few characters. I'm not beholden to any of these colors other than Red for Cobra. Suggestions? Salamurai ( talk) 13:25, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I have discovered a really neat website that tell us the rank for the characters like Duke is E-8 (Army first sergeant). I think that this would be a nice addition to the template. What do you people think? ( Steve ( talk) 19:50, 12 March 2008 (UTC))
I was wondering, could something be added to the infobox to list the actor or actress that will be playing the character in the Live Action G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. This really would be separate from the voiced by category already present. Sgetz ( talk) 13:08, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
I have not seen the file cards, but technically if the movie starts a new series of movies, we could put the year the character debuted for the movie, and can use a voiced by section if different than the actor. Temporarily, I did add an actor to the main template to see how it would look. I used it on Snake-Eyes and Scarlett as a test. Sgetz ( talk) 23:59, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Also, there serial numbers have changed for some of the characters. The items that are listed on the file cards for the characters are:
File Name (without middle initials)
Serial Number
Grade (equivalent of rank)
Preferred Weapon

Since I was visiting to talk about the colors (see above) I was looking at how the infobox shows the character name. I found it odd that the name is left-justified instead of centered, and I don't know why that is, nor can I get it to move, for whatever reason (I haven't mucked with the code here in a couple years). I know the original template was based off the Transformers character infobox. Sometime in the last three years, the TF template has become more like every other character/actor infobox, putting the character name at the top and the faction in the color bar -- ours says "G.I.Joe Character" at the top, then the name below the image (if any). I'm thinking it needs to change to be consistent with the rest of the world. Any opinions? I think it can be changed without having to modify any of the articles. - Salamurai ( talk) 00:13, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
