Forum:Infoboxes

OK, we'll probably need at least some more infoboxes for 2009. I've already created Agori Infobox and Glatorian Infobox, but maybe, we'll need more. I've made prototype for a Skrall Infobox (link), but, as we have only seen three named Skrall in the Story yet, I didn't really think it would be necessary. Anyways, I now ask you: What (if any) new infoboxes do you think we'll need, and why? Mata Nui (TBW Bureaucrat) 15:48, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Why need different infoboxes for Agori, Glatorian, and Skrall? I don't even see the reason why we have seperate infoboxes for BM and MU characters. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 17:57, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Because several thing differs. The BM inhabitants wear helmets, not Kanohi. The species is a problem for Glatorian. And, some information, like what class a Skrall is in, or if a Glatorian is the Prime, Second, or a vehicle pilot, goes missing if we use the same infobox for everyone. Of course, one could implant a switch function... But that would end up in a maze of coding, and it would maybe not even work with the new editor, and, it would be not just quite hard for those who are not very familiar with wiki-coding. But, you have a point there. I don't know, maybe one could implant a switch function on the BM Character Infobox... *Years later* ... Mata Nui (TBW Bureaucrat) 18:12, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Simple, you make the infoboxes collapsible. In other words, if you don't fill in a section, it doesn't appear. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 18:37, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That. Would. Make. A. Huge. Number. Of. Sections. And, have you tried to edit an infobox with the new editor? And anyways, let me see how many sections that would make:
 * Image
 * Species (For other beings)
 * Group
 * Colors
 * Occupation
 * Class (Skrall and Glatorian)
 * Tribe (Agori, Glatorian, other beings)
 * Weapons/Tools/Equipments
 * Status
 * Location
 * Pronunciation
 * And that's only BM, if we add the MU, that's this:
 * Kanohi
 * Element
 * Homeland
 * That's quite many, right? And for those who are new to it all, how could they know how to use it, especially if they use the new editor? M</Font>ata</Font> N</Font>ui</Font> (The BIONICLE Wiki Bureaucrat)
