Latest news template draft

I quote from BOBO:

Only if I had known it would become this complicated, then why didn't I leave everything blank and just insert announcement messages manually at the outset?

It turns out that development just proceeded in the wrong direction, as I've been able to make a simpler version here, in this sandbox (as of 1/24/2025). Some things that have changed from the current Latest news template:

Major:

  • Many more parameters on the front end, though not very complicated.
    • Added slots to allow for semi-automatic switching of episodes
  • Simpler back-end structuring

Minor:

  • When the names of the next episode/next manga chapter are unknown, it is now possible to leave them blank
    • Previously "???" was used as a placeholder
  • Fixed the 20px margin of the <hr> element (was originally "----" in wikitext) when template is viewed using the Chameleon skin
