Help:Infobox development 2009 to 2011
This page (and its links) hopes to build on a project begun by a user on this wiki to create new community editable infoboxes for use across this wiki to replace the infoboxes currently in use.
We would like to build an information source and 'how to' for editing and creating infoboxes as well as creating the specific infoboxes themselves. This way we can learn through the creation and development process so the community does not need to rely on one specific user for the development or alternation of a specific infobox or feature.
Current Infobox Projects
- Template:Infobox Comic project 1 is a duplication of the Template:Infobox Comic that has all the history duplicated in order to be fully editable and explorable outside of the regular circulation of the Infobox Comic currently in use.
- Template:Infobox Spinoff test is testing infobox, currently it has applied to it 'optional fields' or the auto-collapse feature which will remove those fields that have no information added to them.
Basics of Infobox Design
Infobox template is designed based on the wiki-style table coding. The coding within the table is very versatile and can allow for fairly simple or rather complicated designs. No mater how complicated the infobox template, the usage of the template on a target page allows for easy editing of the important information while the complicated coding is hidden from the regular editor.
An example showing both basic design and more advanced design can be viewed at Template:Infobox_TV_test.
