Forum:New Infoboxes

These new infoboxes... to be frank I can't stand them. There was nothing wrong with the old templates, and that text is far too big. Also, I don't think it's far that you can "claim" a colour for your series, just so it won't be confused with others. I think we should do a poll. Andrew 22:26, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Well I don't like the old ones and am keeping them for my own articles however the votes swing. Besides, there's already two types of character templates out there, what's wrong with another one? It's not compulsory to use it, and if you want you can keep the box colours grey by leaving it on default, as I'm making an alteration to them now. Mr. Garrison 19:52, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

PS. By claiming a colour it doesn't mean nobody else can use it, it is optional like I've mentioned...

Why are the polls not accepting my votes? Mr. Garrison 21:02, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

There, I've compressed the template, it turns out when I decreased text size last time I'd only done it for the text which is added ie. the character's name and had missed the bold text that is default ie. "Profession", which explains why the text was larger than I thought.. I've also changed a few of the fields from "Date of Birth" to "Birth" and so on. I still think that you could always avoid using the template if you didn't like it rather than having it deleted though, as using colour is only the same as everyone using a different colour on a series' template.

Withdrawn - I like the template now (after the changes). I took what you said about the navigation templates. Sorry for nagging... :) Andrew 12:27, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

You were right though, they did need fixing. And now I've used one from Heroes wiki which if you leave a field blank, it won't show up at all (ie. final appearance). Mr. Garrison 12:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Do you like the old infoboxes or the new ones? Old! New! Should the text be downsized? Yes! No! Should you be able to claim a colour for your serial? No way! Keep it grey! Definitely!
