Template talk:The hat of the week
Excuse me, but
What is dis? — Wind 13:29, 12 July 2011 (PDT)
- It's apparently a template to change the hat that will show in Hats every month without changing the page itself. –

- I like it. However, I think it needs to accept input so we don't have to modify the template directly. —GeminiViRiS

- I'm not sure this should really exist then. This is an opinionated thing, thus not very encyclopedic (For the same reason that we don't have "trading value" on hat pages) — Wind 10:06, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
- Good gravy, people are forever changing the Hats image. maggosh 10:11, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
- Well as a side note, I do have a wip of a template that should accept input, that is if it works or if we even keep this template.
10:26, 14 July 2011 (PDT) - It's fine to change the Hats image from time to time, but it shouldn't be called "Hats of the month" then. More like "Hats image" or something more neutral like that — Wind 12:54, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
- Well I "finished" my little project of attempting to make it so that it accepts an input. There is some minor tweaking that could be done...i think. Anyways tell me what you think about it. As for what Wind said, I agree that this shouldn't be called the "Hat of the month". So we should probably come up with something better to put in the box. 19:48, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
- How about a template that just shows different users a random hat? Maybe/Maybe not? —

- Surely it wouldn't be too difficult to write a bit of code that randomly selects a new hat and assigns a new image and caption? » Cooper Kid (blether·contreebs) 19:59, 15 August 2011 (PDT)

A voting system?
I know that a month gives more than enough time, but if we are indeed going to go though with this, shouldn't we have some form of voting system? I suggest a hat from a different class and update each month. Any other suggestions? 13:38, 12 July 2011 (PDT)
- How about taking the 5 most visited hat pages of the month, and putting them up on a vote thingy on the main page? That'd be neat. Then once a hat as been voted Hat of the Month, it is retired from the list. --SilverHammer 19:56, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
