== Wiki system templates ==
No worries! I think your new template is pretty cool, and I am a full proponent of people being bold in trying new things on the wiki. I also despise the unhealthy attitude of taking ownership of parts of the wiki. With that said, could I ask that if you do change any of the [[:Category:Wiki System Templates|Wiki system templates]] that you leave a message letting me know. I would not have caught the pip changes unless I had been on the recent changes page at that moment for instance and the error may have been left undiscovered for longer. &#9668; [[User:Rich|'''Rich''']]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr.

:One possible solution you could try is creating another template that will place the pip in its own table. Then have your sidebar incorporate that template. &#9668; [[User:Rich|'''Rich''']]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr. Rahman'' &#9835;  09:56, 7 August 2014 (CDT)
::Sure. And, thanks I'll try that, since trying to place the table directly in my code doesn't seem to be working... -[[User:Jackford B. Kolk|Kit Kizito]] ([[User talk:Jackford B. Kolk|talk]]) 09:57, 7 August 2014 (CDT)

::Just use Pip120 where you previously used Pips
::Awesome, thanks... just has a background color issue (can we make that opaque?) and the Future Imperfect pips need to be centered, but I'll just add centering to Pip120.
:::The bg was set to black because ds9 pips are shorter than default so making them black makes them look equal. since you don't want black for FI, you could enhance Pip120 to recognize when the pip style has been set to FI using the if command and having it not have a background when FI is specified by the user. ditto for centering. Also, you need to leave replies on the other users page or else they will not see them unfortunately because the wiki message system is dumb. &#9668; [[User:Rich|'''Rich''']]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr.

:I just realized I was dumb though and told you to use if. you should use switch instead and then define what to do if variable 3 is FI vs DS9 by having FI = whatever and DS9 equal whatever. See the ribbon names template for an example of how to use switch. &#9668; [[User:Rich|'''Rich''']]<sup>[[User talk:Rich|(talk page)]]</sup> ''aka Lt.Cmdr.
