Check out: * Hades in Disney wiki (old infobox) * Hades in my test wiki (new infobox) I tested it in Firefox, so I don't know about other browsers, but the styling looks the same*, except that the creation was 1000x simplified. See the code difference: * Infobox code in Disney wiki (old infobox, too many repetitions) * Infobox code in my test wiki (new infobox) This shows that every infobox can still look as unique as anyone wants, but are now much easier to create and are better compatible with different devices. If anyone wants me to reproduce your infobox for testing purposes, let me know :) * There is one mini difference: I couldn't make the columns in the first group "Background information" have the exact same width as the second group "Character information".Well, you've just proved that staff's effort was fruitful. This new template is 5 times smaller than the older one. The only problem with this markup is that it is generally something only advanced users can use. But I'm sure it be possible to create tools to facilitate its creation. Of course they made it in an incredible inefficient manner, repeating a lot of code instead of using helper templates.
