Forums: Helping Hand > Can we get a Building infobox?

Use the following template for a nicely presented post:

{{Forum post|Write your message here!|~~~~}}

I just feel a building infobox would be helpful as we currently use the Location infobox and its not quite right.

Titles for this proped box include (but are not limited to)

  • Name of Building
  • Type of building (e.g. tavern, store, house, tower, etc)
  • Location
  • Owner
  • Services provided
  • Notable Inhabitants
  • Volo's ratings (if applicable for taverns)

anyone else like this idea??

or can you think of more titles we would need?

Even though I would have to redo all my pages... I actually agree :) Plus, I have been waiting for someone to say... exports... ale... why are they exporting ale and ruler... why does the inn have a ruler!

I've created a sandbox template over at User:Cronje/Template:Sandbox and an example of its use at User:Cronje/Sandbox for a first draft of a working template. The coloring will probably change, as yellow isn't great, but overall I think it's okay. Let me know what you think!

That draft looks pretty good to me, thanks for setting that up.


I've just thought that maybe it could have a Worships section, to use if the building is a temple.

Done. I've also rearranged the rows so that occupants is grouped with owner.

Cronje, Do you think it is okay to use your template... I really like it and would love to change all my pages, but I just want to make sure the Admins are on board..., before I go infoboxing away :)

Excellent Cronje, it looks really good, thanks for making this happen.

Really appreciate it.

edit: Are you going to make it look more like the other info boxes?

Looking at the code to several of the more popular infoboxes (Template:Person, Template:Book, Template:Spell, none of them use the exact same formatting. I could do away with the rounded edges to make it more standard, if you like. I'd also like suggestions for the color; I really don't like the yellow and am not sure why I used it in the first place. :P

After that, I'll copy it over to a proper (non-user subpage) template page.
