→Battle template: new section
:I'd suggest moving the descriptions of characters who don't have their own pages from the [[List of Gaunt's Ghosts Characters ]] page straight onto the [[Known Members of the Tanith First and Only]] page. That way we can remove the whole Tanith section from the Gaunts list. It would mean fixing all the re-directs, but I'm quite happy to do that. Would have to wait til tmr though as im sleepy just now :), gimme a shout about what you think is best. And Happy New Year from me too :p[[User:Thelemur|The Lemur]] 05:40, 8 March 2012 (CET)
== Battle template ==
Hey; I've got the template working at [[:Template:BattleTest]]. Check it out:
{{BattleTest
|Name = The Battle of the Fang
|Image = The Fell Handed.jpg
|Image caption=
|Conflict =
|Date = [[M32]]
|Location = [[Fenris]]
|Outcome = Space Wolves victory
|Combatant1 = [[File:Thousand Sons Cropped.jpg|20px]] [[Thousand Sons]]
|Combatant2 = [[File:SpaceWolves.png|20px]] [[Space Wolves]]
|Commanders1 = [[Magnus the Red]]<br>[[Ahmuz Temekh]]<br>[[Herume Aphael]] (d)
|Commanders2 = [[Vaer Greyloc]] (d)<br>[[Bjorn the Fell-Handed]]<br>[[Hrar Thraldir]] (d)
|Strength1 = approx. 700 Legionaries<br>2 million [[Spireguard]] plus armour and artillery<br>[[Cataphract]] [[Robot]] [[Maniple]]
|Strength2 = 12th Great Company, plus 11 [[Dreadnoughts]] and 6 [[Rune Priests]]<br>Kaerl defence forces plus ad hoc armed units<br>[[Underfang beast]] packs
|Casualties1 = Majority of Spireguard units and Robot Maniples destroyed or abandoned. Several [[Sorcerers]] and [[Rubric Marines]] slain.
|Casualties2 = Only 22 surviving Astartes; 3 surviving Dreadnoughts. Huge numbers of losses amongst the Kaerls.

It accepts either 1 or two forces (try it with only combatant1 for example), and all are optional. The only thing it would miss is if for some reason there was a force2 but not force1, in which case it would miss both out. It could still do with a bit of formatting tweaking (for the central dividers and perhaps to make the upper boxes not 50/50 like the lower ones are: perhaps not bold by default either), but I hope it's alright as a mockup. --[[User:xensyria|IXS]]<sup>[[User talk:xensyria|=][=]]</sup> 01:15, 17 March 2012 (CET)
