Forum:Infobox In Sidebar Module

considering that I see no evidence that it's in operation, and sorry if it's been answered recently, but I recall hearing this somewhere:


 * "Wikia are looking at putting infoboxes and other page content into modules in the sidebar. More "modules" are being developed for it, [...]."

This sounds like a reasonable solution to getting the horrible Oasis skin on track to usefulness, or at least to begin making it bearable. Has there been any development on this feature (or, should I say, this necessity)? When is it expected? Is it expected? Was it abandoned? Thanks, --Dubiel 17:31, May 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Never heard of such plans. However, there are plans to utilize the siderail in the Rich Text Editor. More details here. — Sovq 17:57, May 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, someone mentioned those plans and they are ongoing. Special:Chat is accessible as a sidebar module and is being tested on various wikis (see Chat). Unfortunately, Wikia doesn't seem to like to give us alot of prior notice all the time, but they are working on stuff. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 13 May 2011 5:49 PM Pacific

Come back tommorrow and I'll have it ready for you to try out. I just have to cleanup my code and make it work with any infobox.


 * Thanks a lot. I can't wait for it to happen. Getting the infoboxes in on the far right would be a vast improvement, if not a remedy in itself. --Dubiel 16:12, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Infobox Module
Okay, I'm a JS idiot, but I've been able to produce code that works. As it's non-TOC compliant, here are the instructions:


 * 1) Install the code here to MediaWiki:Infobox.js.
 * 2) Add id="infobox" to the infobox template.
 * 3) Add the following improt to your personal wikia.js, replacing WIKINAME with your wiki's name:
 * importScriptPage('MediaWiki:Infobox.js', 'WIKINAME');

Please give feedback, and report any bugs. I know it could be done cleaner, but I think it's almost perfect.
