==Multiple neighborhood parameters in {{t|Lot}}==
I've copied {{t|Lot}} onto my testpage (see [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User:LostInRiverview/Test?oldid=595316 here]) with the intent to modernize it, so it looks like our other main infobox templates. While going through the template, I noticed that there's a spot for multiple neighborhoods, if a lot appears in more than one neighborhood. Since the template ultimately uses the neighborhood name to determine what color the template itself is, it's important that each lot be from only one neighborhood (or, at the very least, from only one game or game generation). So if those extra neighborhood parameters are actually used, then I'll have to come up with another way to give color to the templates. Does anyone know if {{t|Lot}} is used for any lots/houses that appear in multiple neighborhoods? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 08:16, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
 
== Introducing {{t|Outdent}} ==
 
You may have noticed the weird lines I occasionally add in talk pages and forum posts. It looks a bit like this:
 
┌───────────────────┘
 
That's called an outdent, and no, the idea for it was not original. It was used on [[wikipedia:Template:Od|Wikipedia]] as an interesting (and fancy) way to reset the indents on a talk page. When a talk page was indented to an incredible length, the template was used to signify that the indents were "reset" and users should start from number 1 again. For example:
 
:Blah blah blah --User 1
::Blah blah blah --User 2
:::Blah blah blah --User 1
::::STOP SPAMMING --User 3
:::::Blah blah blah --User 4
::::::Meh --User 5
:::::::Blah ... blah blah! Haha! --User 6
::::::::Jeez, you guys are annoying. --User 3
:::::::::Yeah, I'd have to agree with User 3 with this one --User 8
┌─────────────────────┘
 
You irritating little children! --User 9
:Blah blah blah IDC --User 2
::lolwut --User 4
 
Something like the above. It's not strictly required, but seeing that I was getting tired of copy 'n' pasting the outdent, I decided to steal the template code from Wikipedia and use it here. Details are in the [[Template:Outdent/doc|documentation]]. You can also just use {{t|Od}} as a shortcut. --'''[[:User:K6ka|k6ka]]''' ([[:User talk:K6ka|talk]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contribs]]) 11:51, June 10, 2014 (UTC)
