Ugh, it has taken me way too long to get back to this...


 * more specialized infoboxes == more templates people need to add to the page, since AFAIK you can't cram code for 2 infoboxes into 1 templace and the code can't re-use variables from other infoboxes.

But based on the suggestions I've put up a few variant mockups at User:SDMarukokun/sandbox/Armors infobox test. Feedback please! (5 variants now; which one do you like best and what changes are still needed?)

Vozroz has been adding/replacing lots of 3-images-in-one images (helmet + male + female) to armor pages lately, so I also did a quick mockup of how those would look in an infobox. I'll try to get his/her attention towards this topic.

So I'd really prefer "full disclosure" on each page. "Don't repeat yourself" shouldn't be a super high priority, especially if you can shove that repeated work into the template logic. By doing that, applying a change on each armor page should be as simple as changing 1 or more templates.
 * not putting common info on all armor pages: I think it's best to assume people are lazy/prefer everything in 1 place/only skim (I made the "not out on Android" on the guild page bold red yesterday, since people skimmed over it in its normal size black font.  Or for ex. the fact that "FUSION IS MOSTLY RANDOM" would probably need to be in big bold letters at the top of each page of the wiki for people to get it (I'll probably add my "fusion 101" to one of the pages and then link everyone asking "how to fuse X" there, since I'm getting sick and tired of repeating it's mostly luck).  Or that an abusefilter was needed to keep al friend codes in their correct place, since too few people read the big note at the bottom of each page.  Do I need to go on?) and the GameGuide app might also let them bypass the general pages where that extra info would then be. (category:armors -> category:some armor rarity -> specific armor page)

I've got some gallery tests up at: User:SDMarukokun/sandbox/Armors galllery test Feedback please! (no idea why the wiki sees that as the "small" spacing for galleries...)

Did I miss any of the other feedback?

Damn it! I just missed the second part of a 5/2 run at Notus level 28 because I was busy with this wiki stuff... :(
