Template Issues

I made two "cleaner" templates for this page, Template:Spritepodlist spritepodlist and Template:Spritepodlist/start. There's a significant page-fitting issue that I can't seem to resolve, at least for firefox/my monitor-windows or whatever the issue is.

I'd like for there to be columns for:

• Icon/Name
• Type
• Description
• Acquisition
• Reskin (yes/no)

what happens is (for me) one of the cells gets expanded all the way across the page and crunches up bulky text. I can't seem to get it to not do that, no matter which cell I put the bulky information into. I imagine it has something to do with the border code. If someone could fix this, I'd be very happy! -Novaster 04:55, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

This was fixed with a few tweaks some time ago, then contents were shifted to different templates: Template:SpritePodList/Start and Template:SpritePodList. --Novaster 21:47, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Sprite Pod Naming Issues

I've noticed that the entities in-game are named "SPRITE FAMILY NAME POD (SPRITE RESKIN NAME), while on our wiki they are named "SPRITE FAMILY NAME (SPRITE RESKIN NAME) POD." I think I maintained some of the naming convention of the old icon uploads when converting to the consistent format, so, this is my fault for not noticing until recently. Personally I don't see a huge problem with this, because it certainly allows easier/more intuitive linking (with inputs having to be either broken up, or a special switch exception made for each sprite reskin in any template that has them otherwise, ew), matches the naming convention of 99% (I'm sure if we counted them, that would be the number) of the rest of the game's aesthetically variable entities, and isn't noticed by anyone at-a-glance. But it should be known that these names are not technically correct. If future editors want to fix this issue and all the minor issues that would appear due to such a fix, feel free of course. I would try to beg staff through support to change the name in-game before that, there are plenty of inconsistencies in-game. My favorites are the Crash/Drop/Escape Pods and Pressure Pad/Plates. Haha, more pod problems. --Novaster 21:47, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
