→ Part Infobox

• Due to the growing number of part articles on this wiki, it has been suggested separately by Samdo994 and LegOtaku (and I also considered this myself before) that we should have a Parts Infobox. I've created a test infobox for this here with an example here to demonstrate what it would look like, but I think we need to decide if we should have one, and if so, what fields the infobox should have, and if the parts infobox should have its own specific color, or just have the default infobox color.

1. Just wondering how you would classify things in 1? Was just thinking about the lightsaber hilt piece- would it be an accessory, or some other type since it's used on ships as laser cannons and other things? Or can there be multiple types? NightblazeSaber 06:45, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

• Hm, you're right. Actually the "type" of a piece is in most cases already contained in the name itself. As in "Brick 2x2" or "Minifigure Hair Ponytail" etc. --LegOtaku (talk • contr) 09:13, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

• When will the voting end? Samdo994 talk Contribs [[Special:Editcount/Samdo994|Special:Editcount/Samdo994 edits]]17:59, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

I even thought it would work before, but never thought it would be that important before, until all the pages we got of LEGO pieces! :P -Nerfblasterpro: It's Nerf, or Nothing! 11:20, October 28, 2009 (UTC) Captain Rex 04:49, October 29, 2009 (UTC) Oppose Comments

Please do not modify it. The result was to create a parts infobox Option #1: +4 votes, Option #2: -1 vote, Option #3: +1 vote Type of parts infobox Please note that the vote should be for the design only, not the content they contain (this is voted on separately) Option #1 Please see here for the template Support This is definetely a good idea! Except the appearances (like if one piece is included in hundreds of sets!) Perhaps put themes for appearances instead of sets. -Nerfblasterpro: It's Nerf, or Nothing! 15:14, October 30, 2009 (UTC) Amazing idea, this will work out great!--Coupon11 20:04, October 30, 2009 (UTC) Awesome. Captain Rex 04:50, November 4, 2009 (UTC) I like it. ajr 04:51, November 4, 2009 (UTC) Oppose Comments Nerfblasterpro, there is a collapsible version where the appearances section can be hidden and shown by clicking NightblazeSaber 23:37, October 30, 2009 (UTC) Option #2 Please see here for the template (Note: test template has since been deleted) Support Oppose Only because option 1 and 3 are so much better, but not sure which one to vote for :) NightblazeSaber 23:47, October 30, 2009 (UTC) Comments Option #3 (Quoted suggestion only, no template created yet) ...combine the Templates, so it will be shown on the right side (like [Option #2]) but add the Color boxes, the sizes and the collapsable Appearances (like [Option #1]) to that Template Support I think that way is a good way to combine both Templates together. Samdo994 talk Contribs [[Special:Editcount/Samdo994|Special:Editcount/Samdo994 edits]]15:09, October 30, 2009 (UTC) Oppose Comments I've been trying to get the collapsible appearances section working with option 2, but I can't get it to do so, and I'm not sure if it's actually even possible. The size and color sections from option 1 can be easily added though NightblazeSaber 23:46, October 30, 2009 (UTC) Voting will close at November 9, 6:00 UTC
