How to create patterns
Creating a list on how to add different patterns. Every recipe needs 1 banner as well, not important in what box though. If someone could think of a way to implement this into the article it'd be great. Feel free to add more recipes to the following list:

Dot in middle

Square in top right corner

Square in top left corner

Square in bottom left corner

Square bottom right corner

Downward-going triangle from top

Upward-going triangle from bottom

Left bottom to right top diagonal line

Right bottom to left top diagonal line

Two diagonal lines creating an 'X'

Three small triangles at top

Three small triangles at bottom

Horizontal line

Vertical line

Diamond in the middle

Top third becomes colored

Top half becomes colored

Bottom third becomes colored

Vertical stripes

Left third becomes colored

Left half becomes colored

Right third becomes colored

 * You can also copy a banner's patterns to another blank banner of the same base color by placing the two banners in the crafting grid. Anomie x (talk) 15:24, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

How to report the number of possible patterns (I really don't like "160,016 trillion")
It should be "160 quadrillion", or "160 016 000 000 000 000". Another option would be to use scientific notation: "1.60016x1017" but certainly not "160,016 trillion". Cultist O (talk) 11:14, 24 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Of your options, I prefer "160 quadrillion." I think I went with trillion originally because a) I wanted more than 3 significant figures and b) as you start using higher and higher *illion numbers, it becomes more and more abstract, and I thought trillion was somewhat of a compromise -- but it does look wicked ugly.  By all means make it look better. – Sealbudsman (Aaron) (talk) – 12:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC)


 * That is also a bad choice, as “quadrillion” means 1015 when using the short scale, but 1024 when using the long scale. Scientific notation is less ambiguous. —F‌enhl 12:11, 24 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm starting to agree with you, the *illions are a terrible mess. If it were scientific notation, I would suggest somewhat fewer than 6 significant figures, though. Six seems like conspicuous yet useless precision. Maybe 3 or 4. – Sealbudsman (Aaron) (talk) – 12:30, 24 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Although, the style guide does indicate to use U.S. English, within which the *illion numbers are unambiguous.. – Sealbudsman (Aaron) (talk) – 18:39, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
