I question the design of the new infoboxes.

Things that I'm not keen on:


 * It seems to take up too much vertical space

I.e. This one really shows that: http://saintseiya.wikia.com/wiki/Phoenix_Ikki?_ga=1.32910781.280084857.1432622686

It switches from "at a glance" to "scroll down lots just to read the infobox, then scroll back up to read the content"

While research suggests that people take in information more easily when labels are placed above text, I feel the cost of doing that really takes away from the "at a glance" aspect of infoboxes. Especially when compared to the ones Wikipedia have: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas


 * I feel it'll look better with a border around it. 


 * The lines that separate sections, I don't know, something about them doesn't feel right. 


 * The text size looks too big. Compare it to Wikipedia's info boxes

I think it needs a few more design iterations.

And another design issue is the amount of unused whitespace in the right sidebar. I understand you want to put ads there, but you only show like, 1 ad, or a very small "wiki activity", and the rest of the bar is blank.

I feel a more elegant solution could be found.
