I was thinking if it's a good idea to make a royalty DLC template, to be displayed on the top of pages so it's immediately obvious that the content is from a DLC.
Any ideas?

Something relatively compact that we can use on both the top of pages and in sections would be great. What were you thinking? Something like rewrite template with Royalty Crown symbol and a short explanatory text? Or something more involved?
For now, something simple can do, like what you suggested. It's just there for display.
I mocked up a little something on my sandbox. Please ignore the mess.

Theres an example banner and an idea for standardizing the way we denote the particular items and things in tables/nav boxes etc.
Thoughts? Feedback?
I like the way we can use a crown to denote Royalty content, although I'm not sure if it works in navboxes. It's at least better than the "^" that I used for this purpose.
The banner is just like how I envisioned it, though there's an extra period in the text. Overall quite well done, I would say.
Give me a moment and I'll try it out in a nav box.
It works but I think it'll be better if we make a Royalty template instead of pasting a bunch of text every time.
I'll check if the template form works.
Looks like the icon still works when packaged into a template. That's nice.
Re: template yup ofc, that was always the plan. It was just a matter of making sure it doesn't look weird first. Tbh this was a great idea, and I like the end product we've come up with. Its also nice and expansible if any more DLC are released - we can just change the icon and implement it exactly the same way.
If you'd like to see about implementing the templates around the wiki, I can leave you to it.
Was thinking, if the icon isn't enough to distinguish the two types in large lists (e.g. Template:Nav/body parts which is PACKED ) We could also make the template have an option for text intake to change the color. Not totally sold on it, but its an idea.
Going to implement the banner now. Did you want the banner to auto-add the Royalty category to the page?
I see that you have. I didn't really think of having the banner be automatically added, but if it's possible and doesn't cause too much trouble then sure.
Implemented at Template: Royalty - kept name simple to match other banner types. Currently does add category. Only added 2 pages at trial atm.
