Template talk:Infobox NewTV

What do you think of a new design? Most of the items are hidden but will be displayed when used in the articles.-- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  21:35, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, that does look pretty nice.

The whole "hidden unless needed" might also be useful for the Template:Infobox Species. I know that it looks really empty when little is known about the species, but I have no skill in template creation. -<Azes13 23:55, 22 June 2008 (UTC)>-

it looks great. needs an airdate line, though. not crazy about the hiding feature though not seriously against it. of course for consistency's sake all the comics, audios and books should also change format to match. again, good work! --Stardizzy2 16:13, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

I'd also agree that that hidden unless used thing would be good for the species and individual (when it's used for novel/comic characters). But this infobox...I'll refrain from writing what I thought upon initially looking at it and just say that I'm not a fan of it, and prefer the ones in use at the moment. --Tangerineduel 06:15, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

What part of it are you not a fan of? It's likely some people dislike it's colour; this can easily be changed however. Also I've disabled the 'hidden field' effect so you can see all of it. So do you want me to add the 'hidden field' effect to the species template. Thanks for your feedback!-- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  13:13, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Would it be easier to say I prefer the ones we have now? Aesthetically the rounded box makes it all seem a little flat. But on the species infobox front, yes, go right ahead. --Tangerineduel 13:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Previous/next story

The description for "Previous story" and "Next story" are not all that helpful.

Do they refer to previous and next in the Doctor's timeline, in broadcast order, or in BBC numbering? In most cases, these match up so there's no issue, but Music of the Spheres and City of the Daleks (and presumably the next 3 adventure games) are notable counter-examples.

Also, Attack of the Graske doesn't use these entries at all, and the actual previous and next stories (which in this case are previous/next for all three) don't mention AotG either. --Falcotron 17:28, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
