Lustroustools's Population

I don't have the most experience in wiki editing -- is there an easier or more readable way to lay that out than I have already? I'd like to be able to keep a record of my current population this way for people following the Twitter updates. --Rowenlemmings 08:00, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Welcome! (Your "How I started DF" story sounds like mine!) For your needs, I'd use a sortable table. Just copy/past from the metal or gem page and adapt as needed. The key is the template for the header, Template:Metal table head, and then akes a minute to see the formatting - then it's easy. Name, migration wave, profession, noble/role, kills, pets ... whatever. For some fancier techniques, check out the chart on the crop page, which use templates for the colored cells.--Albedo 17:05, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Cool lemme take a look and see how that works aesthetically. Also, is it possible to hide a table behind an infobox? The population table is inherently gigantic and I don't particularly want all that length on my page unless it's hideable. --Rowenlemmings 20:23, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm - don't think you can put a table template within a template (or if you can, I don't know how!). Best you can do is use templates inside cells for larger info:

Here's the basic template:


blah blah blah bleh :bleh

As you can see, you can put any amount of raw text in there that will expand out once clicked, similar to the file info on any creature page. Formatting can be a problem in some cases.
