Hi,

Wikia has been introducing new portable infoboxes as replacements for the current infoboxes. Since I think they're easier to modify than the current ones, I've been playing around with them a bit. Obviously, I don't intend to replace all infoboxes at once, but one at a time, starting with the easiest ones first.

Since this means I'll rewrite the infoboxes anyway, this is the chance to change their design (as some look a bit shabby).

For now, I've converted the chapter infobox to the new form, replicating the old layout (even though I think it isn't really good). You can find them at the end of this post.

Does someone have some time to play around a bit with the design of this infobox and develop a new design? These boxes can be styled using CSS. The boxes below are styled using the CSS code here: User:Old McDonald/Infobox test.css. I'm just no good at such design stuff, so it'd be great if someone could give a hand.

We have to decide the following layout question, too: Do we use the style where the label of the row (the bold text) is put above the value, or do we keep the table style where it is played to the left of the value?

Thanks in advance for your help!

The old box:

The new boxes now look something like this:

Label above value:

Label to the left of the value (tabular style):
