I also changed in the above example the blue links to yellow as it seems to fit in my eye better for Quinn, but anyway, feel free to use the above code or not at all.

== New Garuda Template ==
I've converted our crew nav to a new "Easy Template" version. Full instructions are available here: '''[[Template:Crew]]'''.
===Among the New Features:===
===Simplified format to add officers===
No more messy code! Makes it easier to edit position names and preview them to see if they fit correctly!
<pre>{{Tile|FIRST NAME|Last Name|UNIFORM COLOR|CURRENT POST|Roster Image}}</pre>
For example, just add:
<pre>{{Tile|Andrus|Jaxx|Red|Commanding Officer|JaxxSmall.jpg}}</pre>
to get the next officer's tile added to the nav.
{{Tile|Andrus|Jaxx|Red|Commanding Officer|JaxxSmall.jpg}}
===<font color=red>IMPORTANT NOTE</font>===
If an officer only has a single name, be sure to still put an extra "pipe" character '''|''' after their name.
<pre>|{{Tile|Mei'konda||Gold|Chief of Operations|Roster-meikonda.jpg}}</pre>
{{Tile|Mei'konda||Gold|Chief of Operations|Roster-meikonda.jpg}}
===Automatic placement of blank portrait===
Places the [[:File:Roster-blank.jpg|blank portrait roster image]] if no roster image specified. Example:
<pre>{{Tile|M'Wash||Blue|Science Officer}}</pre>
{{Tile|M'Wash||Blue|Science Officer}}
===Automatic resize of roster image===
If an officer's roster image is too large for the nav, it will automatically crop and resize it to fit. Note that while this is a handy feature, it may not produce as nice an image as a properly prepared roster image.
{{Tile|Andrus|Jaxx|Red|Commanding Officer|Jaxxhorse.jpg}}
===Support for Nicknames/Abbreviations===
If an officer's name is too long for the nav. Example:
<pre>{{Tile|Cassandra|Egan Manno|NICKNAME=C. Egan Manno|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-eganmanno.jpg}}</pre>
{{Tile|Cassandra|Egan Manno|NICKNAME=C. Egan Manno|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-eganmanno.jpg}}
===Simplified color names===
'''<font color=maroon>Red</font>, <font color=darkgoldenrod>Gold</font>, <font color=steelblue>Blue</font>, <font color=teal>Teal</font>, <font color=purple>Violet</font>, <font color=black>Black</font>, <font color=dimgray>Silver</font>, <font color=darkgreen>Green</font>'''
===No need to change colspan===
Table automatically keeps header and footer centered.
===Ship placeholder image===
Can be easily specified if there is an odd number of officers.
<pre>{{Shiptile|USS Apollo|Achilles.jpg}}</pre>
{{Shiptile|USS Apollo|Achilles.jpg}}
{{Crew
|SHIP = USS Garuda
|ROSTER PAGE = Garuda Master Crew List
|NPC PAGE = Garuda NPCs
|HISTORY PAGE = Garuda Crew History}}

|{{Tile|Mei'konda||Gold|Chief of Operations|Roster-meikonda.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Leo|Handley-Page|Gold|Chief of Sec/Tac|Roster-handleypage.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Quinn|Reynolds|Black|Dir. of Intelligence|Roster-reynolds.jpg}}
|{{Tile|Saveron||Teal|Chief Medical Officer|Roster-saveron.jpg}}
