Forum:New Footers

As you may have noticed, the new skin has made 'small' text unreadable, almost certainly due to a general shrinking of font size. The biggest issue that this has caused is that now many of our footers are unreadable, as they used small text. Initially I planned to fix just that, but in the process I went a little nuts and redid them all. The new versions are at User:JakePT/Sandbox/Footers.

As you can see they are also now all consistent with eachother, whereas currently, for example, Series, DLC and Classes all look entirely different.

I've also made them all the full width of the page. On the old skin this may have looked comical on large monitors, however, now that we are fixed width, and not an incredibly wide width I'll note, I think using the full width looks just fine and gives us room to use a more readable font size.

Other changes you may notice are that I've broken the DLC footer down into Free (Cerberus Network), Paid and Promotional. This, despite adding very little in the way of words, conveys much more information in that small box. You'll also notice that I split the classes footer in two. When trying to redesign it, anything other than separating them looked clunky, or inconsistent with other footers, as the current one does. However, I would simply have both boxes in the same template, and just have them look separate.

So, in short, I think we should replace all our old footers with these ones, or variations on these ones. If not, I suggest we still move to make our footers consistent and readable, which they currently are not, even if we don't use mine.

I'd also like to suggest a Powers footer, which will make navigating around Powers much easier, especially when starting from the page of an individual power, and even more so if arriving at that article from anywhere other than the Powers page.
