Forum:Portable Infoboxes — the return

Hey guys!

I was just stopping by to offer help on getting your infoboxes converted to the new, portable style. My bosses at Wikia have put me at your disposal, and we'd really like to try to finish up your infobox conversion over the next few days.

Back in August, you guys seemed to be pretty enthusiastic about changing over to new infoboxes, but there were several different thoughts about how to proceed.

To get the ball rolling again, the Russian OP wiki have converted their infoboxes, though they are of a slightly different design to what you use now. Take a look through their infoboxe infobox category. If we could put their infoboxes onto this wiki, and then style them after they're already here, we'd obviously save a lot of time.

The one exception to this may be Char Box, but one of our engineers came up with a new version of that one a while ago. We could easily integrate this new Char Box alongside the other infoboxes from RU, and have you mostly sorted by the beginning of next week.

So riddle me the answer to this basic question, if ya would: Could we just import the Russian boxes now so that you can have portability almost immediately, and then work together over the coming days to style them on the desktop more to your needs?

I've got many more questions for you guys, but this is the most important one for now! Thanks for your help! — CzechOut 07:04, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

Well, this is inevitably going to descend into the people who want to improve the wiki arguing with the people who dislike change. Now, I may not like this, but it's better we change now than we wait until it's forced upon us. I'm in favour of changing.
