Animation: Computer / Machinima Template‑class | |||||||||||||
|
By default, this template will automatically categorize articles in which it is included under
Category:Rooster Teeth Productions. The category can be overridden by specifying a value for the "cat" parameter. If you specify an unnamed parameter to this template, that will be used as the sort key. Otherwise, the page name will be used.

This template is getting a bit large. Insipred by the CVG project push for navbox template standardization and cleanup, I'm suggesting the following:
First, we're using custom styles. Let's ditch those and use the standard "navbox" CSS class.
Secondly, chances are that if you're looking at Grif's article, you're probably more likely to want to stay in the Red vs. Blue than to look at, say, PANICS. I therfore suggest splitting the template up and condensing.
First, one for the personnel:
Rooster Teeth Productions personnel |
---|
Burnie Burns •
Matt Hullum •
Geoff Ramsey •
Jason Saldaña •
Gustavo Sorola Dan Godwin • Joel Heyman • Kathleen Zuelch |
Then, one for Rooster Teeth's productions:
Rooster Teeth Productions machinima |
---|
Red vs. Blue • The Strangerhood • PANICS |
Then one for the "high-level" Red vs. Blue articles:
Red vs. Blue |
---|
Sseason 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5 • Out of Mind • Specials • Production • Characters |
And one for the individual main Red vs. Blue characters:
Red vs. Blue characters |
---|
Sarge •
Simmons •
Grif •
Donut Church • Tucker • Caboose • Tex |
So, what got cut? The links to the games, the two auxiliary Strangerhood articles, and the RvB maps article. Here's my rationale for each:
The idea here is that, instead of putting a huge 10-line template on every article in Category:Rooster Teeth Productions, we can be a bit more selective about what we present as related links. (Yes, we can keep the Tnavbar links, too; these are just proofs of concept.)
By the way, I've tested these on 800-by-600 resolution. They look much better than the current template, which takes up nearly a full screen.

Given that the template now includes links to articles for a number of non-machinima productions (Achievement Hunter, the podcasts, RWBY, etc.), wouldn't it be more appropriate to change the template name to "Rooster Teeth productions" or "Rooster Teeth filmography"? Just an observation. -- 98.250.7.156 ( talk) 04:43, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
These categories made much more sense when the company was smaller. But as it now houses 200-300 full and part-time employees, it would suffer from overcrowding/rigorous updating to be accurate. Would anyone object to removing the current and former staff section?-- Count3D ( talk) 19:48, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
Should Joel Heyman be moved to "Former staff"? It's unclear as currently presented, since he was one of the co-founders, but he's also no longer a current employee of RT. V2Blast ( talk) 23:04, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
