Wow, Toxic was fast, so here is one test:
http://nehrim.wikia.com/wiki/Test_page
Can be the background of the infobox like the general background (old paper style)?
Can the photo have the frame like other photos, maybe thinner?
??? till tommorow

Oh those links are perfect. I'll fiddle with the templates and then show you. You guys are right though, it will take a lot of work to replace those. At least the only things that will need to be inserted are the actual values. Hm ok, will get back to you late this week or early next. :]
I haven't taken a look at slideshows; I'll check it out too.
@Kassandra - it's not too difficult to apply them. Here, I wrote something up for another wiki that we can use here as well:
http://swordsandpotions.wikia.com/wiki/ ... Info_Boxes
@Garnet - yea no problem. I'm not finished with it yet, just testing borders. ^_^ I want to fix up a few things about it too. :]
Allllll ideas/suggestions are welcome.

Toxic, I see you're back on the site, and so I guess there's no need for me to work on it.
I'm sorry I said I would work on it and didn't - life got and remains really busy. I'm sure none of you mind but I just wanted to make it clear I was genuine in my intention to work on it. I really do like the wiki.

The infobox looks relally nice !
And Chintzmas, don't worry, we're not going to revoke your admin rights, you can always add something when you finally find some time

@chintzmas - Noooo don't go! Help is definitely needed. :] I'm pretty busy as well, I just have some time here and there. I was hoping to just focus on the infoboxes right now, if you want to still work on the other stuff.
I'm still not quite done with infoboxes, I can make specfic ones from the links you guys showed me where all you'll have to do is insert the specific info - the titles, categories, box size and any images will already be generated. I'll start working on that next week - won't be around much the rest of this one. :]

Ok, if you check out the test page again, you can see the modified Infobox template. It's not the regular default template where you have to input all the text. It's the Character Infobox template where the left column is already filled out for you and you just have to input the right column values when you post it on a page.

Let me know if it needs any other rows or should be re-ordered or something. :]
I can make separate templates for each category we might need; character, creature, item, hostile character, etc etc for anything that might need specific information.
EDIT: I've just fixed up the slideshow a bit. I added the border and got the image to stay within it, but I don't know why they're not filling up the whole space. The images must be too small. *shrug*
EDIT2: For creatures, I think it would be simplest if we modified the existing tables. Here's an example:
http://nehrim.wikia.com/wiki/Armored_Ri ... Statistics
All we would need to do is edit the table with a few changes.
1. In the Edit window, right-click the table and go to "Table Properties"
2. Then click on the "Advanced" tab and put "creature_table" in the ID field.
3. Then each cell that needs the dark-textured background should be labeled "Header" by right-clicking the cell and going to Cell > Cell Properties. In the "Cell Type" field, change "data" to "header"
4. Then everything should show up automatically.
*shrug* I thought this would be easier than having to re-enter all the info.

Here is a modified infobox, maybe change the width to 280px or 270px it seems to large for the narrow wiki page, so if it's a consensus about the appearance of the infobox I can write the order of information needed for every type. Removed the frame from the photo, it's look to heavy.

About creatures:
I see no sense to edit the table (except for the aesthetic). maybe is not nice, but it have all info needed (IMHO). There is about 200 creatures, many pages are empty and others have the old layout. There are also many creatures with same name and different stats that is also covered with the same layout table, that also mean for people, especially for various battlemages etc, so the infobox will be only for named people.
And we need Kassandra opinion.

Hi!
Great job Toxic
I guess the problem wit slideshows is a bit more serious, the photos used to be good and the correct size, something must have changed maybein Wikia default size of the images, or something. But all used to be fine some time ago...
And I aso think that infoboxes for people will be enough. At least Nehrim Wiki will be more varied We will have these fancy infoboxes for people (that already means a LOT of work with applying them) and those 'normal' but a bit modified tables for Creatures.
I was thinking more of small infoboxes for Quests : http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Joining ... ey_Wardens . Just with really basic information that people look for. With the information: Realm, Locations, Quest Giver, NPCs, Rewards, Previous Quest, Following Quest. And, I also have no idea where to put it to look 'elegant'. We already have slideshows to the right :/

I didn't realize there were already so many creatures so I'd have to agree, the ones that are up now are perfectly fine. :]
I'll make the changes to the character infobox and create the Quest one. I'll also be happy to help you guys replace and insert them.
Maybe the quest infoboxes could go right under the slideshows? I can make them the same size so they more or less fit right beneath them. *shrug* let me know what you think.

Sure, would be great if you could find some time to insert the templates:) And below the slideshow, we might try and then decide how it looks.
I guess there appears to be one problem , take a look at the slideshow here: http://nehrim.wikia.com/wiki/Sunken_Site
I just got to editing this page and it looks a bit wierd
