We need a new spoiler-tag for the Dragon Age: MageKiller comic series. I think something from one of the cover images, all of which are now available for viewing in the gallery of the series article here on the wiki. For the quotation, Tessa gives a great internal monologue at the start of the first issue which has plenty of good motive quotes, any of which could work.

I lack the skills to develop this particular asset however. Could I ask for a volunteer for this from among our editors? -HD3 ^(Talk) 08:51, January 17, 2016 (UTC)

Well, since I've done all but one spoiler tags, I might as well just go ahead and do this one. Shoulda just gone straight to me and it'd been done ages ago. ;)

Here's a quick one of Leliana. Looks good enough for the purpose because it will be small and you won't be able to see those few displaced pixels. Lemme know.

Also without the other bird.

It looks gorgeous allright but if we can help it I'd rather not have the spoiler tag image be someone who isn't even one of the main characters for the series in question.

Is Leliana not in it? She is on the cover of issue 4. henioo ^{(da talk page)} 02:38, January 18, 2016 (UTC)

How's about this dragon head, then?

No, she's in it she's just not the most central character and doesn't come in until later.

The Dragon head looks really good and it'd make sense since a dragon is the tevinter symbol and it takes place in tevinter etc. etc. Looks good to me. Should I write the quote up here?

- HD3 ^(Talk) 04:52, January 18, 2016 (UTC)

I doubt I'll be getting into this series, so any quote you want you're gonna have to choose it yourself. I've used images that were at my disposal. If you find another image that you think would be more suitable, give me a holler.

Also, I suggested this ages ago. Why not make every Dragon Age media have a different colour for the spoiler tag? So far books are white, and why - I don't know; and everything else is red. It would be a good idea to either get everything uniformed and make 'em all red, or make everything different, like comic books green, films and tv shows grey or something. henioo ^{(da talk page)} 08:34, January 20, 2016 (UTC)

For the quote I'm thinking "The problem with magic, is that it cheats." That with the dragon head should make a decent spoiler tag.

As for changing the background colour, that's a good point actually. The comics are the only ones with enough entries to warrant a new colour though....I don't know, what colour would you want to use for the comics?

-HD3 ^(Talk) 11:17, January 20, 2016 (UTC) -

I'm thinking Inquisition green, aka the Fade green. The red textured background would look nice with a shade of light green, I think.

henioo ^{(da talk page)} 13:09, January 20, 2016 (UTC)

That might work, red and green might be a pain for anyone with colour blindness though. Could still look good though. Can you dummy up a proto-type so we can get a picture?

Damn, son, that looks good. --♫ Kelcat ^Talk 08:53, January 21, 2016 (UTC)

That came out looking very nice. So we'll upload that as the magekiller spoiler tag and unless there are any other concerns, I think we can start the switch with the comics tags over to the green version as soon as Henio is able. Great Work.

-HD3 ^(Talk) 22:52, January 21, 2016 (UTC)

Let's make it happen, then. I need the original red background image to work with, but I don't know where it is located, but I suspect it the path to it is written in the spoiler tag code. So one of you use your admin access and get me that image. ;) In the meantime, we can probably just go ahead and make a standard red spoiler tag with the dragon's head. It is kinda amateur of us to be using Tresspasser spoiler tag as a placeholder. henioo ^{(da talk page)} 11:55, January 26, 2016 (UTC)

I'm guessing that it's this file that was used for the background. I can make the tag if no one else knows how, it just won't be until later tonight. --♫ Kelcat ^Talk 19:44, January 26, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, obviously the trespasser spoielr is just a placeholder thing. I'm fine with a red spoiler tag version or holding out for the finished green spoiler tag.

-HD3 ^(Talk) 04:15, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

BAM

This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Magekiller.

For the record, I have no idea how to change background colors for spoiler tags beyond the standard red splatter. Also, the quote's not attributed to anyone, which we should probably fix (I don't have the comic) --♫ Kelcat ^Talk 07:31, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

Ok I'll add the Magekiller spoiler we currently have. The quote is by Tessa Forsythia by the by.

Henio0 can you take charge of replace it and eventually th other comic spoiler tags with green versions in line with what we discussed here?

-HD3 ^(Talk) 10:07, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't know how. I have edited spoiler tags before, but it was only to change the quote. I think a different code is responsible for the body of the tag, and I have yet to find that page (search engine doesn't help me). I can make the green splatter alright, but I won't be able to change the actual tag on here. I know it can be done because the books use a white background, so we do have two separate types tags, and now it is only a question of creating another one. But as I said, I don't know how.

henioo ^{(da talk page)} 20:07, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Henio0, Loleil has created a green splatter background for your use here: File:SplatterBackgroundGreen.jpg

-HD3 ^(Talk) 08:26, January 30, 2016 (UTC)

I see it is already implemented. I knew it could be done. :P Perhaps in the future we can do some more, as more media comes out. Or business is concluded, till the next one. ;) henioo ^{(da talk page)} 20:05, January 30, 2016 (UTC)
