User blog comment:Ducksoup/Wikia's Portability Progress Check!/@comment-24473195-20151118072338

Although I really like how the infobox preview tool works in general, here are a couple of thoughts and suggestions:


 * Preview changes to markup automatically - changing items in the "infobox markup" section doesn't update the preview, this originally worked with the tool some months ago.
 * Simplified CSS inspector - a simple GUI tool (e.g. browser devtools) for setting css (Helper classes ) : e.g.: background-color : green and generating its CSS. Nothing too complicated.
 * Invocation - not sure what this does, any clues?
 * @imported stylesheets  not working - the import tool manages to pick up conventional CSS stored in Commons.css or Wikia.css but doesn't include those stored in a separate file and imported using "@import url".

I know the infobox preview tool is just a prototype or "show-off" tool, and probably not the final version of a Gui for infoboxes, but it is incredibly helpful, and would be nice to have  at least as barebones  Javascript gadget.

Also, although anyone can theoretically create these themes, only admins can actually set them. We overcame this problem in w:c:portability by using javascript to import stylesheets on demand for specific pages. Are there any plans to make this easier for non-admins?
