The following proposal has been discussed and is now marked as resolved. The page has been protected and now serves as an archive. Do not edit this page.
Date Resolved: July 10, 2014


Result: Discussion ends, pending reformatted discussion(s).


Introduction

At the meeting it was decided to cancel the previous discussion regarding character info boxes, and began a new discussion on the specific fields. This discussion allows everyone to give their specific opinion on each field. Also, if you want to add a field to the character info box, add your suggestion at the bottom.

When this discussion is over, the changes will not take immediate effect. We will discussion how we will format the infobox so that it can be the best that it can be.

The reconstruction of the character info box will take up the following discussions:

  • Part 1: Discussing which fields to include and not include and their guidelines
  • Part 2: Establishing the guidelines/policies for each field
  • Part 3: Establishing an arrangement/layout/format of the infobox

In this discussion, please say whether you want to keep, remove, neutral, change, or merge certain fields. Please also give your input into what you think should the guidelines for each field.

Use the following templates in your response:

  • {{Keep}} - if you want to keep the field.
  • {{Remove}} - if you want to remove the field.
  • {{Merge2}} - if you want to merge the field with other fields.
  • {{Change}} - if you want to change the field.
  • {{Neutral}} - if you are neutral regarding a particular field.

This discussion will end on Thursday, June 19, 2014 at 9:00 AM, eastern time.


We need more input, so I have extended this discussion until Thursday, June 26, 2014 at 9:00 AM, eastern time. AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 12:13, June 19, 2014 (UTC)


Still, we have little input. I am extending this to Thursday, July 3, 2014 at 9:00 AM, eastern time. AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 18:51, June 29, 2014 (UTC)
