infobox width
Is this infobox supposed to be so wide? If need be I am happy to rewrite this infobox as a portable infobox. -Thomas Love http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/jackass/images/5/5f/Star_tiny.png [ talk ] 15:57, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm delaying the conversion of the last few infoboxes while waiting for Tabber support. Many of these have been updated with tabbers lately and I don't want them all to break. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 17:03, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Fair enough, i'm happy to wait. Does wikia have a ETA for tabber support? -Thomas Love http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/jackass/images/5/5f/Star_tiny.png [ talk ] 17:34, October 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * No, unfortunately. I'll put this infobox on a diet and skinny it up a little. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 17:44, October 10, 2015 (UTC)

Tabbed Template
Below is an example of a possible layout for a tabbed version of this template. I cobbled this together quickly, so it is definitely a work in progress and may be too crunchy. In putting this together, I had to make judgement calls on what to include and what to leave out, mostly because of crunch. This might be way too much info to adhere to our no crunch policy. Please review and comment. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 02:46, October 9, 2018 (UTC) Assassin 5e=Archetype of Rogue

4e=Base Class

3e=Prestige Class

2e=Kit

1e=Subclass of Thief


 * Hello Moviesign,


 * I like your idea. About your question whether it is too crunchy. I think it is in danger of getting too crunchy wherever abilities and proficiencies need to be mentioned, be it for "Benefits" or "Requirements". I would love to suggest to take orientation from the current infobox and write all other kind of information into the actual article effectively excluding them from the infobox. So I copied parts of your table and the slimmed down version would look like something along the line of:

Assassin 5e=Archetype 4e=Base Class 3e=Prestige Class


 * The goal I had in mind was to give a short answer to the question "What is the class and what alignment has it?". In 3e "a prestige class for evil", in 4e "a Martial-Shadow Striker of any alignment", and in 5e "a rogue archetype for any alignment". I think for that orienting at the current infobox is the good way.


 * Please dismiss this idea right away if it doesn't weld well with 1e and 2e, I do not know enough about those two editions' rules to make a qualified statement.


 * Best regards

I'd like to see these tabs. The current template is looking pretty ugly compared to our other awesome templates. ~ Lhynard (talk) 20:07, December 18, 2018 (UTC)


 * Take a look at User:Moviesign/Template:Class and see what you think. The data is mostly bogus, but suggest improvement in labels, layout, and parameter names. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 00:06, December 19, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello Moviesign,


 * I looked at the template and I can't see problems with it. The only matter I could say is about the "variants"-section. The barbarian-example puts the "variants" as something that has validity for all editions. Provided, this is not intentional to provide the newest information or all should be added under one section, I suggest putting "variants"-sections to each edition. As an example, the Barbarian had in 4e the Rageblood and Thaneborn Barbarian as its variants, 3e had in a sourcebook called Unearthed Arcana a lot of Barbarian variants, and 5e has its own barbarian-variants.


 * I'm sorry for not being able to say more


 * Best regards

 * Excellent suggestion. I will make it so. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 00:07, December 21, 2018 (UTC)

I have updated the example with some new parameters for 5e as suggested by SirWhiteout. We need to finalize the parameters for each edition so this can move forward. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 15:21, June 14, 2019 (UTC)


 * Here's what I think we should have for 3e:
 * Some sort of indication of base class, prestige class, or NPC class
 * : Arcane or Divine or empty
 * : Prepared or Spontaneous
 * : for weapon and armor proficiencies

The following would have a "Requirements" sub-heading
 * : Alignment grid expected

The newest version of the draft is here: Template:Class/Draft

I basically fixed up 3e, but I do not know the other editions well.

Thoughts?

 * Here is a list of suggestions for 5e-relevant fields, based on the suggestions above:
 * : Arcane, Divine, Ki, or empty
 * : Prepared or Spontaneous
 * : for weapon and armor proficiencies


 * Since there are no race of alignment requirements in 5e (in fact, only multiclassing has requirements, and those are just minimum attribute values), the "Requirements" sb-heading could have a field such as:
 * : Attributes, to be filled as "high intelligence", or "high wisdom", etc.
