I was just indicating the major blockers, Styling, Collaborating, approving. If I want to change any Portable Infobox (potBox) as an admin I can simply go and mess around with Special:CSS. But the vast majority of users won't have this priviledge. Just to test out the potBox a normal user needs to :


 * 1) Go to Special:Mypage/common.css/or change it in their browser
 * 2) Add new css rule
 * 3) Test out different versions.
 * 4) Once done, one needs to print screen the new template, and show it to others to get get feedback, and they also need to do the same thing to get feedback on their suggestions. Imagine trying to show 5 or more suggestions.

Beyond that, Special:Mypage/common.css is as equally restricted as Special:CSS, so other people can't simply look at someone's css and change it directly. They need to create their own pages/ or test it using their browser console, and once again submit screenshots. This greatly affects the workflow and collaboration.

Unless of course a javascript hack is created that imports a potBox css from a common sandbox where everybody can go and mess around with it. But again, this is only possible with admin help, or everybody will need to import the js to their profile. The point is that testing the styling shouldn't be this hard, even with an admins help.
