Span Tags

<div style="border:10px dotted #985028;background-color:#5c8727"><font color="#000000">Span tags are <span style="background-color:#0f0">very similar</span> to div tags in their use, except they can be <span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#066">applied</span> to a specific portion of the text <span style="border:1px solid #000;font-size:12pt">instead of</span> a complete paragraph, page section, etc. As far as I can tell, their primary function is for the application of CSS. <span style="font-variant:small-caps">I have sprinkled span tags</span> liberally throughout this paragraph to demonstrate their use as well as a div tag around the entire section.<br>{{User:Belgrave/Sig}}</font></div>
Copying User Pages
- I am trying to think of a good compromise here... Charging for your services to make someone a user page is fine, but trying to restrict the use of the code goes against the copyright license used by this wiki so technically we cannot enforce non-usage of our code. It was primarily the threats to remove posts using your code that led me to post the notice at the bottom of my user page.
- However, I think it may be possible that we, as a group and as some of the primary contributers to the wiki, take a stand against copying someone's code without permission or without giving attribution to that user for their original contribution. This would require us to decide on a list of rules/requirements that would apply to everyone in the group, and a template we can post at the bottom of our user pages to let everyone else know about the standards to which we hold ourselves. A thorough listing of what adhering users can and cannot do would be posted on the template page.
- Therefore, I suggest the following:
- Users will not copy another's code without permission or giving attribution.
- Users will not use another's code and claim it as their own (excepting major layout changes, css?, and very basic code arrangements).
- Users are free but not obligated to charge for the service of creating another's user page.
- Restrictions would apply to non-game information pages only (users/players & guilds). Pages for items, creatures, etc, should be freely copyable to maintain a bit of uniformity for game related information.
- Therefore, I suggest the following:
- So there you have it... my suggestion about how we can deal with the concerns we all have concerning our user pages and the effort we put into making them. I think this is a good idea and with some discussion, would be worth attempting.

World Areas
Before you finish doing that, I've decided to split up the world area pages.
