Template talk:Character infobox test

im using this page as a sandbox to develop new features for the infobox templates. :) --Jsblack 00:34, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Js. The box looks good! Nice choice of fields and layout. A couple of suggestions:


 * Maybe change the background color to something more orange or brown based, so it fits in with the wiki a bit more (I think there are other existing infoboxes that this suggestion could apply to aswell)
 * What about left-aligning the column names? I don't know how that would look, but it might be a bit more space efficient. When I've created info boxes before I've found left aligning makes the box generally look a bit bigger (optical illusion I guess).

Hey Careax. Thanks! I'm gonna try and get infoboxes on all the characters and books, and then maybe design some kind of box for all the "things" in dune, like the ornithropters and lasguns and such.


 * I think changing the bg color is a good idea. I wanted something that stood out a little bit from the page, but i agree that the blue is probably a bit much ;) I guess I was thinking about Caladan at the time cause I did Paul's page first.


 * Left align -- good idea. I actually had to make the boxes kind big to fit the text into them without spilling over on a second line, so left-align would save some space.

Thanks for the input!
