This looks quite slick! Anyways, I was thinking, whether this should also have the yellowish border? :) Also, would there be a way to sort of let the wiki figure out itself what the language code is, so translators wouldn't have to go through the dull task of manually converting the toon templates' language codes, one by one. But anyways, this is just perfect, and a nice job you've done on the whole thing so far! --Sysrq868 08:19, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Funny you should mention that! People smarter than I are exploring that possibility... Trey56 08:38, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
As nothing has been done, I thought of it myself: Could it be arranged with a clever mashment of #pos, {{PAGENAME}} and some type of parserfunction? Just a thought, I'll scarcely have determination or skill to do this... --Sysrq868 12:40, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Nothing has been done? I beg to differ... I think the per-language lists are still being worked on though. That list is generated from HRWiki:Subtitles/Data, individual language lists can be generated from the same list (that way we only need to update one list every time a new toon comes out). --phlip TC 13:02, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I rather meant that nothing has been done on this page, don't expect me to find or know every page on the wiki. However, good job, and I hope the per-language lists come out soon. --Sysrq868 13:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
