"Hi. We are aware of the super tall image problem. Sometimes the tower-like images tend to endup being super big (for example images of swords or magical staffs). I'd suggest applying max-height in CSS as an intermediate fix."

That's a good point, it seems like this is a good chance to recommend that the developers create some sort of "Best practices" document for these infoboxes.

Some things that could be considered:


 * Should people use the images or the data tag for videos  and what about audio?


 * The data tag seems to be used for everything, but maybe tables should not be recommended.


 * The horizontal groups allow long lists of items, but I guess that the max recommended is probably around 4 items or less,depending on the size of each item.


 * Bandwidth issues related to huge images on portable infoboxes.


 * Avoiding complex wikitext in tags, e.g. format/default.
 * Recommended Max image height and width...

Some communities create small infoboxes with huge images. While these images may display properly on the desktop, in a mobile device it may take considerable time to scroll and reach the information needed. It may also be a good idea to add auto-collapse to image sections to avoid this.
