Experimenting with a new layout

This is a "sandbox" page for us to experiment with a new layout (e.g. tabs) for Species information.

Some color scheme previews can be seen at Mousezilla/Colors. –xenocidic (talk) 17:38, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Above-tab information

Since the descriptive text comes from the species' Journal article, it should probably be moved inside the tab so that each game can have its own blurb. --FeralKitty 16:10, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

I was originally thinking that we should keep a generic description and picture above the tabs, but I could see where keeping those items platform-specific might be useful. --Jimmcq 16:36, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

Species Infobox

The Infobox will need a bit of work to support the new features (e.g. tricks, three wildcards). I'm thinking at this point that we could still use one template, and just omit parameters as needed, to only show what's relevant for each tab.

My only "concern" at this point is the length of the Infobox. On some existing species article, it currently takes up more vertical space than the text to the left of it. While we might be able to use the side-by-side variant pics approach for 3 (very small) thumbnail WC pics, is there a point where it just becomes too long? --FeralKitty 16:10, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

I like the idea of a single extensible species template. Maybe we could move some information (like wild-card info) into the main contents rather than in the infobox? --Jimmcq 16:36, 14 May 2008 (EDT)
