Hi, I was wondering what everyone thought about having tabs above the image on certain character's minifigure pages to display their latest variant in their different respective themes/episodes such as Star Wars' Prequel, Original, and The Clone Wars Series etc., DC's "Batman" and "Super Heroes" Themes and Marvel's "Cinematic Universe" and Comic adaptations, etc..

I'm not saying that the minifigure variant gallery found in the article should be removed, nor that every variant released appears as the article's feature image, simply their latest release in each individual theme. See Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi pages on Brickipedia for a better understanding. Would like to know what you all think about this. Thank you very much :) Unsigned comment by Newsbreaker123 (talk • contribs).

  • Having the option to scroll through a few alternate images sounds great to me :) Also, I was wondering if maybe adding to the minifigureGallery additional options like "back", "side", etc to get different views of the same minifigure? :S (Technical note- this would require the installation of the Tabber extension) NovaHawk 04:23, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
  • I have edited the Star Wars pages to be like this. The side, back, alternate head views sound like a good idea if they are like the tabs and easy to access :). I had edited all of the DC and Marvel ones, but my edits were all reverted :/ Unsigned comment by Newsbreaker123 (talk • contribs).
    • You can do it here once Extension:Tabber is installed - I think its a really nice idea - people at Brickia are immune to change :P CJC95 (talk) 11:05, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Suggestion - maybe change the style of tabber if that is possible to make it visually fit with infoboxes better? CJC95 (talk) 18:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
    • Like this? IIRC, MtMNC made those over at BS01. --ToaMeiko (talk) 19:30, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
      • Yeah, just something that blends into the infobox better than the standard tabber. CJC95 (talk) 21:16, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
    • I thought the fact we were changing the style went without saying ;) I'll work on something later now it's installed NovaHawk 22:21, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Suggestion - use the same in set to switch between the main set image and the box. CJC95 (talk) 18:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
    • Sounds good NovaHawk 22:21, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Sounds like a good idea. Berrybrick (talk) 20:08, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
  • All great ideas everyone - the only thing is when I edit the pages, my edits keep getting undone. How can I prevent this? Newsbreaker123 (talk) 22:21, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
    • How are they getting undone? :S --ToaMeiko (talk) 22:22, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
      • At Wikia they were being undone by Dogujohn, whose name I have spelt wrong. CJC95 (talk) 22:28, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

          • Edit the pages here instead of at Wikia :) CJC95 (talk) 22:31, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
            • Sounds good. I'm pretty new to this site, does anyone know where the pages to edit are here? :p Newsbreaker123 (talk) 22:34, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
              • Luke Skywalker is, well there :P - You can find any page you need by typing it into the search bar up top right (unless you are on mobile/half screen, in which case you need to click the little white bars at the top right corner first). If you find a page that is at Wikia but not here, add a note here. :) CJC95 (talk) 22:36, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
