I just moved the directions to the template page itself. --evrik (talk) 15:44, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image size
I'm having trouble with the image size function, I can't get it to work. 400 px width is too large and is squeezing the articles. --evrik (talk) 15:44, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- I've made the default 300px.--Lord Kinbote 18:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Finding a balance between an image size that is large enough to avoiding compressing the infobox text but small enough to keep from compressing the article text has been a challenge; 300px appears to strike that balance and seems to be fairly common for this type of infobox; I've looked at it using lesser values and they just don't work as well. This has been the established parameter for the last 7 months, I suggest that we leave well enough alone. Mdhennessey 21:07, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- 300 is too large. I think you should have fully discussed the change before implementing it. the larger image causes problems for text placement. --evrik (talk) 17:37, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

- Actually, I wasn't the one who set the parameter to begin with, and you were the one who implemented the change without prior discussion. I agree that the original 400px image size was too large, but as I stated above, 300px has been the setting for the last 7 months and strikes the best balance between "squeezing" the aritcle text vs. the infobox text. I've tried to work with you by looking at 200 and 250px but in the end feel that 300px works the best; it is also consistent with the sizing used in many similar-layout infoboxes on WP. Maybe you should try adjusting the settings on your monitor. Mdhennessey 19:17, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
