I have been talking to Yyp, and he suggested that I put this in a forum, so here we go. The infoboxes on this site look like they could use an update, as well as a specific one for each species; i.e, one for Contractors, one for Dolls, and one for Humans. To that end, I have found a design that I liked on a few other wikis and edited them to your needs. A simple consensus, and approval from the admins, is all that would be needed to make these changes. I'll post them here so that you may look at them.

Discussion[]
Judging by this other forum, the intention of AlienGamer and Akadirgun was to have the infoboxes colour schemes' reflect which series the character appeared in. But to me, coming from Bleach Wiki and given that there are now two anime series, the Gaiden OVAs and two separate manga series, all with their own unique characters, it makes more sense now to go by this approach of different colour scheme for each species. I'd really like to hear what they have to say on this before anything is changed.
I think that if we change them, we should change the episode/chapter infoboxes too as it might be a bit jarring to see the new and old ones rather than them all being based off the one style. But that is something to worry about later. In particular I support reorganizing them so that behind the scenes/production stuff such as first/last appearance and actors are grouped at the bottom. For Contractors there should be a codename piece as well as the Messier code (eg Amber is February). As far as I know there is very little in the way of statistics such as height, weight, bloodtype, birthdate, so I don't think those fields would be used much if at all. I think it might be best to have a new one too for the Black Dandelion affected characters as they are not Contractors, but they do have powers which should be included in the infobox. ~~Ууp <talk> 16:00, August 23, 2011 (UTC)
- I'll get to work on the coding for those then. That shouldn't be a problem at all. Ten Tailed Fox (Talk with me) 20:41, August 23, 2011 (UTC)
- These look very good. I like the idea of having a diferent colour scheme for each species. The colours go very well for each too, although what do you think about the colour for the dolls being a lite purple, as many of the dolls have purple eyes?. And will you also be making one for the moratorias? And like Yip said, I dont think that the "hight, weight, ect" should be there, as they dont give out this info in the show or manga.

- I Like the new proposal...but with the fixed width of the Wikia skin, isn't it slightly long? ..AlienGamer (Userpage ⁝ Talk) 02:28, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
- I'm all for the colour scheme idea though, and even the new infoboxes...Just worried about the length of it...If it isn't a problem, then its all good....AlienGamer (Userpage ⁝ Talk) 02:30, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
- I figure for Moratoria, we can use the Contractor infobox, since there is no significant changes between their abilities and such, but if you would like a separate box though, I can do one. It is certainly no problem. Anything else? If not, I'll get right on all of that. Ten Tailed Fox (Talk with me) 03:20, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
- I have no problem with the proposal. The infoboxes we first made was when there was only one series and a second one on the way. They are a little outdated and somewhat cluttered since I wanted to keep everything on one single template and had to code too many conditionals. I wouldn't do that right now, though I guess I'd still keep everything in one template and make it so that the species become the class for the table. That way, we could seamlessly assign colors in css and every box would look different depending on the css. In any case, I abandoned wikia as soon as this dreadful skin came that sullies the name "wiki" so I doubt I could be counted in charge. (I pretty much ignore everything going on here and use google cache to read the content or use a chrome extension to remove every bit except content.) I am also in an exam hell right now, so... Well, anyway, bottom line is, I think it's okay to change to the new boxes. AlienGamer says they are long and they are, but the old ones are wide compared to them and still long. --~ Akadirgun (userpage ⁝ talk) 18:02, September 30, 2011 (UTC)
