	::::::That's a good idea. Hey, really good! We can extend the bar to make it as much large as the page. The bar should be only on pages that have one of those templates, so pages with no icons or boxes don't have the bar. Example, an article that needs an image, the Image needed template should be turned into the bar, with the message "This article needs an image". The same article is a stub, the stub template should be turned into the same bar, but the image needed message in already on the bar, so the stub template should have a parameter that allows the stub message to be positioned on an specific area of the bar, so it doesn't float over the image needed message. Now, the same article is protected, the protected image should be made a floating image so it's positioned on the bottom right and on the bar. If the article already has an image (real world), then the protected template should have the same parameter I explained one minute ago so it doesn't float over the real world image. Uhhh... did you understand? Well, I'm gonna make some tests. {{User:TheHomer/sig}} 22:22, 27 February 2011 (UTC)		::::::That's a good idea. Hey, really good!

		+	::::::::Well, I know how I want it to look. I've thought of a way to make it work. I've tested to see if it works. It should, bit it doesn't. This is my idea:
		+	*An article has one template (e.g. Image needed). Just adding <nowiki>{{Image needed}}</nowiki> will make the bar appear.
		+	*An article has two templates (e.g. Image needed and stub). Here, it makes longer, because a third template is needed to work, but since there are few pages with two of these templates, it won't take too much adding it to all pages. This has to be added.
		+	<pre>
		+	{{Toolbar
		+	\|1={{Image needed\|t}}
		+	\|2={{Stub\|t}}
		+	}}
