Can someone move OVW to former development territories? Markcookney (talk) 19:47, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

FCW

FCW was never a business of the wwe. it was solely owned and operated by steve keirn and had an agreement that the development roster of the wwe was trained there. Like the WWE did in the past with OVW, and HWA. Someone always changes this to 'defunct business' without even mentioning sources! TheAY1986 (talk) 22:05, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

OVW

Ohio Valley Wrestling has ceased affiliation with WWE, please remove it from the current developmental territories section and move it to the defunct developmental territories.--TrUCo⁹31¹ 23:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

That's why it says current by the ones that are current developmental territories. Mr. C.C. (talk) 18:26, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Brand order

I could just revert it back since there was no discussion to change it in the first place, but I will discuss it here first. WWE always goes in the order Raw/SmackDown/ECW. This is how they list the brands on their site, how they usually refer to the brands when talking about them, and (this one is a opinion) how WWE views the brands (i.e. Raw is the A brand, SmackDown the B brand, and ECW the C brand). This is how they should be listed here. There was no discussion to change this order, so I will support anyone who switches it back. TJ Spyke 17:00, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Colors, revisited

• Oppose any color changes, because they are not necessary, and they do not improve the readability of the headings.   ArcAngel   (talk) ) 08:04, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
• Support color changes. Again, this is no different than having sports team templates in their colors, and it brightens up a rather blase template. This isn't about content, it's about appearance. Lighten up. Vjmlhds 14:55, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it is different than sports teams because the WWE isn't strictly about sports - they are an entertainment company, something much different than a sports team.   ArcAngel   (talk) ) 15:10, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

You are really splitting the thinnest of hairs here. WWE has an iconic logo and the colors I chose for the template reflect that logo. Also WWE is divided into 2 main groups (Raw and SD) each with it's own seperate distinct colors. The main question is, why do you think it's OK for sports teams, and not an entity like WWE to have their colors reflected in their template. Vjmlhds 20:09, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Arc unless you bring up legitimate issues against the use of color in templates this entire thing is pointless...^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 02:55, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

McDonalds has their template in their iconic colors of yellow and red.

Pepsi has theirs in blue and white.

Coca-Cola has theirs in their world famous red and white color scheme.

General Motors and Ford are in blue and white to match their iconic logos.

Of course every MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, and major college team has their template in their colors.

And if you look around here long enough, you'll find countless other templates done up in a set of particular colors.

Face it Arc...your arguement has no legs.

And "I don't like it." really isn't an arguement.

Vjmlhds 14:09, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

After giving this some more thought, I have decided that this is no big deal, and have requested the template be unprotected. I apologize for the trouble.   ArcAngel   (talk)) 22:43, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Now please, leave the colors alone.

Unless the Wiki Gods come down and say "Thou shalt not color any templates, any where!" I really see no reason why a WWE template can't be decked out in WWE colors.

When did coloring a template become such a major crisis?

Vjmlhds 00:01, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

• Remove the coloring per WP:Deviations, and let the coloring be set by MediaWiki:Common.css. There is no reason to deviate from the default, and it is problematic for WP:Accessibility. Thank you! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 01:27, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

• Default colours should be used; whatever {{navbox}} defaults to. this version is appropriate, per wp:deviations. 125.162.150.88 (talk) 03:24, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

This is ridiculous!

Ya know...

This whole thing got started when I was just trying to add a little color to a boring drab template by doing it in WWE's colors (red, white, and black).

Little did I know, I was committing treason by doing so.

So let's have a vote once and for all to end this thing (even though no other template that I'm aware of needed permission to be colored).

I vote By God, Yes! it should be colored. It doesn't affect the content of the article, there are tons of other colored templates (both sports and non-sports), and it brightens things up a little bit. Vjmlhds 00:42, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

The vote is on WT:PW, so don't make anothe one here. Crisis.EXE 00:49, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Oh, the heck with it!

Leave it as is with the default colors.

My God, I wish my biggest problem in life was someone coloring in a stupid template on Wikipedia!

Wow. Those navbox colors ain't easy on the eyes. That's for darn sure. --Jtalledo (talk) 13:49, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.

To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

• {{WWE|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
• {{WWE|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. 🔯 Sir Joseph ^🍸(talk) 20:11, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

 Not done. List of WWE personnel is already linked in the "header" bit; that's what {{colored link}} does. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (talk) 05:56, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

For 2016 to present. Change to 2016 to 2020. Under history section. EliGap (talk) 02:11, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: There's nothing about 2016 (or any years for that matter) in History section in this template. If you mean History_of_WWE#New_Era_(2016–present), it's a different page and since the material includes Peacock partnership, "-present" makes sense there. hemantha (brief) 09:31, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
