Alright, to be honest, there's so much going on with your little genre and type templates that I don't know where to start. They're all slightly different with different amounts of text in them. The fact that the images are 58px is problematic because that means you only have 32px left for text, out of a 90px total width. Therefore many of them just can't stick to a 90px width and the story infobox gets broken.

I think I just got lucky with the two I was using at 2010 Second Odyssey cause I was able to redact the text and make it all work. Now that I'm seeing the whole range of these templates you've got, I suggest two courses of action:


 * drop the graphical nature of those templates altogether. Convert them to simple text, and they'll play nicely with the infobox width. At 58px, you're not getting much out of the images.  At 45px — which you'd really have to do to get them into half the space of your 90px width, you'll get even less.
 * keep it graphical, but make it much more abstract. Plan out your templates so that they have a very regular pattern to them.  For example, take a look at tardis:category:stub templates. Those are all 25px and have pretty much the same ratios working.  But they don't have regular wiki text anywhere in them. They're 100% graphics.  If you had 90px pure graphics, you'd be fine. It'll take some time, but once you hit upon the template, you can crank 'em out really quick, and your site will have a more regular look to it.

If you decide to keep the current form of those templates, some of them will work and some of them won't. It'll be highly unsatisfactory.
