[edit] Credits

The infobox that Wikipedia:WikiProject Disneyland uses was expanded and modified to create this one. The "programming" was put together thanks to various infoboxes on Wikipedia by blm07 03:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

The alternate image, image caption was modified from Template:Infobox Album.

Big thanks to A.J. for the independent row code!

[edit] Discussion

I know I've gone through many, many changes and designs, but this should be the most flexible and complete template that could be used for attractions. It has a few hidden options to make it work better under just about any circumstance. If this becomes the standard, I'll change all of the current infobox (at least the ones that use my old infobox) information to this new one. --blm07 20:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

• 1. Should this be used as the standard template on all Disney rides and shows?
• 2. Does any other information need to be included?
• 3. If you can add any more information to the infobox without bloating it, then discuss.
• 4. Should the "attraction facts" section of the article be removed, everything be incorporated into the infobox and have separate infoboxes for each version of the ride? (Humongous task)

I like this new infobox... very clean and easy to understand. I could see most everything else going in a facts area not cluttering up an info box. --Napnet 14:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

This info box should be used on all disney attractions. It should be flexible enough to handle information about every attraction. It may get large, but I doubt it will be so complicated that it becomes unusable. It should also include optional info like the "land" the attracion is in.

There are also some case where the ride has a slightly differnent name in a different park, like "Soarin'" vs. "Soarin' Over California" or "Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye" and "Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull" both of which are essentially the same ride. Other instances the rides are completely different from park to park (see Space Mountain).

Other templates should be replaced with this, and explicitely indicated that they should not be used. Examples: Template:Disney ride, Template:Infobox roller coaster. . Some ideas from the roller coaster template should be incorporated.

There are bugs in the template already. If you define options and a sponsor, the template does not work (see Soarin' Over California).

The infobox should replace the "Attraction Facts" section, as it is just a list of statistics anyway.

An alternative to having Park 1=, Park 2=, etc, is to have multiple infoboxes per article, one for each park. Make the title and image optional so the infoboxes flow well. This seems reasonable to me. - Bytebear 00:35, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Another advantage to mutliple infoboxes is that you can combine the Roller Coaster box with the Disney attraction box in cases like Rock 'n' Roller Coaster which fits into both catagories. Bytebear 00:41, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll think about some of those changes, but I'm not so sure about removing attraction facts and putting everything into the infobox. Separate infoboxes for each version of the ride... maybe, but that is still a big change. The only reason the template not working right in Soarin is because "park 2 Options" was not capitalized, it is working as it should. --blm07 00:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, my bad on the template typo. Bytebear 01:07, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
