This page is an archive of a community-wide discussion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made in the Senate Hall, this page's talk page or new Consensus Track pages rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was no consensus: defaults to keeping single image userbox for now. —Silly Dan (talk) 02:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

The previous CT thread revealed that the votes were split between this dual infobox version and keeping it as is. I'm restarting the vote. - Sikon 10:07, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

For the dual infobox

  1. Dual infoboxes is a good idea. They se them on Memory alpha, too. There it works fine. KEJ 15:56, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  2. Thought it was a good idea before, still do. Green Tentacle (Talk) 18:08, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

  4. Only in case of radical appearance changes. Havac 23:09, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  5. Only in case of radical appearance changes. —Xwing328(Talk) 00:43, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  6. Forget this "radical appearance changes" stuff. Put 'em everywhere an article is long enough and the pictures are good enough to support 'em. jSarek 10:11, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  7. Originally against this, but after reading, I think this would deter people from obnoxiously trying to split up articles like UnuThul/Raynar that are about the same being in the future. Wildyoda 22:39, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
  8. Per Xwing328 and Havac. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Audience Chamber) 02:33, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Keep as is

  1. I just plain don't like the look of them...I'll accept them if consensus says to use them, but I still won't like the look of them. —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 16:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  2. Double standards ahoy! .... 20:59, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  3. They will crop up everywhere. Besides, they take up too much space and are quite ugly.–SentryTalk 21:16, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  4. What Sentry said. RedemptionRedemptionusersymbolTalk 21:39, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  5. I oppose it in its current form. It looks stupid having a picture at the bottom. -- I need a name (Complain here) 01:14, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  6. Muuuuuurgh 02:45, 26 January 2007 (UTC).
  7. Per Jaymach, ...., Sentry, and nameless one. -- Darth Culator (Talk)(Kills) 14:14, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  8. I think it looks OK, but an Infobox that long limits images in the area to the left side. -Fnlayson 19:06, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  9. Sikon 06:50, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
  10. I think it looks OK, but I don't want to see this popping up everywhere. --Yoshi626 02:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Comments

  • I'm for it in Anakin's case, but I too am afraid of them popping up everywhere. Perhaps if the template comes with the condition that it's usage has to be voted on any time it is used, I would support it. -- Ozzel 06:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
    • That might not be a bad idea. There are a few people who are concerned about it being overused so a vote on the talk pages could be a good way to decide whether to do it on individual articles. Green Tentacle (Talk) 09:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
      • I think that if anakin and vaders article are together, then that should be put on. But if they are split up then it should be left as it is MandofettWrist HoloprojectorJaingHead 13:41, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
        • I agree that the dual infobox should only be used for a scant handful of characters from both trilogies, and should be discussed on the talk page beforehand. Also, Mandofett: the articles are not going to be split, don't worry. —Silly Dan (talk) 02:38, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
