[edit] Infoboxes Wikiproject

This WikiProject provides a central location for infobox designers to assist each other in their work. Many different people are working on infoboxes, and occasionally need the input of others in order to get something to work - or some designers may be simply unfamiliar with certain tricks and features. The only way that such discussion takes place now is generally via the talk pages of various templates or across different user talk pages. By establishing this project as a central location for such discussions, more people can be of assistance.

This is not intended to be a place for infobox standardisation, rather a place for designers to help each other.

[edit] Main Objective

If someone has problem with getting a certain template to work, the problem can be posted here. For the moment, that should be done on the project talk page, with each problem as a separate thread.

[edit] Proposed Project Content

Feel free to add to this.

  • List of commonly used features/designs.
  • If anyone comes up with any new tricks, post them here and share them with the rest of us.
  • Regular collaboration on a particular infobox.
  • Creation and improvement of all infoboxes.
  • Directory of Infoboxes.
  • Standardisation when deemed appropriate, or when requested by other WikiProjects.
