Heya :)

Since you've done a lot of editing around infoboxes this year, I wanted to touch bases with you on the issue of finishing up the job of converting to portable infoboxes (PIs) that was begun locally buy you guys back in 2015.

As you may be aware, the project hit a roadblock over a few issues discussed with Old McDonald over in Thread:242450. One of the big ones was that image resolution of PIs was in some cases undesirably low back then. As I told him today, that issue has now been resolved.

Another problem area was that sliders aren't allowed by PI code. This was never a design feature of PIs and isn't on FANDOM's developmental roadmap. However, there are two possible workarounds. One is to use an image tabber on those pages that need to have multiple images of a character. You're already doing this on some pages, so I'm not sure I'd call this a change, really. The other is to allow for multiple images in an infobox, with possibly the latest image at the very top and other images at the bottom. Many wikis use this solution, with the most prominent probably being MemoryAlpha. Take a look at the Spock page for an idea how to integrate multiple images in the same infobox.

Since you've already converted some of your infoboxes, we'd really like to continue the process and are willing to help you through the process. We can even offer bot services if the transition requires adding (or subtracting) variables from pages. You really wouldn't have to do anything except approve the boxes.

Whaddya think? Can we finish up the job you guys started back in 2015?
