Forum:Deceased Status In Templates

Lately, I've noticed the "Deceased" (and, to a less extent, "non-canon" and "former") word in gallery and navigation box templates next to character names. Isn't that too cluttered? I propose two alternative methods: For suggestion 2, try comparing from the gallery below.
 * 1) Just don't put that there.
 * 2) Add a † next to their names instead, with a legend below the template.


 * † = Deceased
 * x = Former
 * * = Non-canon

As for "non-canon" and "former", we could use other symbols if these don't look right. What does everyone think? 02:14, October 26, 2013 (UTC)

Side note

 * As a side note: I've noticed Gasu Gasu no Mi, Yuki Yuki no Mi, and the two Mushi Mushi no Mi are all not following the unique color schemes for each Devil Fruit. Just a reminder, as it seems too farfetched to create another forum just for a reminder. 02:14, October 26, 2013 (UTC)

No. Original way is 100% better. SeaTerror (talk) 02:31, October 26, 2013 (UTC)

That's always how you look at it. 02:35, October 26, 2013 (UTC)

Because it is the truth. It also doesn't clutter the templates like you claim. SeaTerror (talk) 02:36, October 26, 2013 (UTC)
