Default Thoughts on the new template

As has been pointed out by some other members, the template gets kinda messy when adding Anime and Video games since there are no actors (unless we start adding Voice actors, which actually doesn't work because voice actors play multiple roles and it's just a pain).

I have a suggestion, but it's just a thought, but it's a revamp of the template so don't yell at me

How about aligning ALL of the templates in a similar order? So that the Anime and VG sections don't look wonky when following the Movie and Television sections?

Moving from LEFT to RIGHT:

Start all sections with TITLE (movie title, television series title/Episode, anime movie Title/Episode, and VG Title/Mod)

Next section is Date (Date released, introduced) since now we're starting to list dates (which is a good sorting field for future use)

Next Section is CHARACTER (movie character, television character, Anime Character, VG character ... can be primary player, or team player, or opposing force or a named character if applicable)

Next section is ACTOR (Human actor for movie and television, N/A for Anime and N/A for VG)

Next section is NOTES (special gun finish or type or fictional gun or special usage notations, etc.)

This way, the blank sections aren't scattered all over the grid, making the page look messy. The sections of TITLE, DATE, CHARACTER will always have an entry and not be blank. The sections of ACTOR will always have an entry in Movies & Television. The Section with the least amount of info (in that specialized info is not applicable most of the time) will be at the tail end.

Thoughts anyone? I think we should consider this before we spend too much time updating the templates.

==Actor pages==
Also did anyone notice that the templates don't align to the left of the photos? This may change how we align photos (look at the Maria Bello Page). Historically the text could be to the immediate left of the 'right aligned' image. If they can't be on the same space, then it changes how we align photographs, in that we traditionally have aligned them to the right, unless it's a screenshot on a movie page, then it's aligned "none". What do people think of this? Just curious.
