Hello folks,

Wikia support directed me here, and I would be very grateful indeed for any help on offer. I'm working on a redesign of this site and I'm just looking for a little assistance with tweaking a certain template. Unfortunately, I'm a total amateur when it comes to wikitext, but I figure this might be a feasible idea.

We're trying to alter our infobox from a vertical layout to a horizontal one. All this means for us is, we would like the box to be edited such that it has a second column, and fills 100% of the article width. The left column would remain the way it is (roughly 260px with spaces for name, image, caption, introduced, appearances, etc). The right column would occupy the rest of the page, and would just be filled with prose text. While I've seen a couple of mildly similar examples around, I simply can't find a way to get our wikitext working as intended. Can't split the columns properly, can't get a grip on the proper formatting.

There is a test template here, and here is a rough mockup of what we are trying to accomplish (comparable against this).

I can offer more specifics if necessary... we are absolute noobs where this table markup is concerned, and would really deeply appreciate any hints or advice here, as this particular headache is one of the only things stopping us from finalising our new design! We can't offer much in return, but anybody who assists, or tries to assist, we will make sure to credit prominently with a very sincere thank you in our .css stylesheets and when the revamp goes live.
