Forum:Portable infobox proposal

Dear admins,

I'm Tor, a member of Wikia's Community Engineering team (we're the guys who code features for admins & power users ;)). Wow, this is a cool wiki. Never knew we had this -- found you guys on our WAM Score page.

One of the things we're currently working on at Wikia is making our content more "portable", meaning: looking great on any device and screen size.

We've started earlier this year with Help:PortableInfoboxes -- and now I've made a sample infobox using these new rules for you to check out:


 * link to example page: User:TOR/New infobox test
 * link to template: Template:Villain Infobox/Draft

Note that I left it with the default styling (which is based on your theme colors) -- I think it looks kinda cool this way, but we can also make it have a white background and look like your current infoboxes.

Feedback welcome!

Also, and if you'd like to see how this looks and behaves on a mobile page, I'd need to move it out of my user space and apply it to a sample page you could visit -- didn't want to go and do that without warning you first. Or you could use the "mobile preview" feature, but that's a bit more clicks.

When you're ready to adopt this new style of infobox, one of you admins needs to click "approve" on the draft page (in the right rail). But first lets see if there's any questions or feedback. :)
