User blog:CorvusTheFeatherbrain/Portable Infoboxes

Hello everyone. I have a quick announcement to make regarding infoboxes. Most people who have used a wiki before at least recognize what an infobox is, so I'm not going to explain that here.

If you've ever viewed this wiki from a mobile device, you've probably noticed that the infoboxes are...kind of a mess.

I did my best to make the new infoboxes match the old ones. Hopefully the change isn't too jarring to anyone.

That being said, there are a few changes to the new infoboxes. Some sections of it can be be collapsed/expanded; the episode appearances section, for one, since those tend to get long. Also–although I haven't tested this yet myself–we should be able to add multiple images that you can switch between at the top of the infoboxes now. This will be useful for characters that change appearance, or to showcase Vox Machina's "Season 1" / "Season 2" designs by Kit Buss. Or even if we just want to display different fanart interpretations. We'll decide on that later.

Now here's some good news: The way you edit infoboxes will not change. We won't even need to edit any of the pages in order to update the appearance; that's all behind-the-scenes stuff I'll be doing.

The new infoboxes are ready to go, but I wanted to make this blog post first to let everyone know what's going on, and give you all a chance to ask questions and offer suggestions if you need to. You can see the new Character Infobox here and the new Episode Infobox here.

Thank you for reading! :)
