Request for Feedback: Updated UWP Infobox

[tjoneslo]

After considering several minor update requests to the UWP/stellar data kept in the wiki, I think there needs to be a much larger update.

The proposed update has an expanded UWP infobox, with more data both kept and stored. The updated UWP template contains all the fields from the classic era sector data formats. It does not include any of the new T5 fields ({Ix}, (Ex), [Cx], N) nor any space for the GT:First In specific data.

With the expanded amount of data in the UWP Infoboxes (and in each article), the second part of the update can be completed. This is a dynamically generated list from the data in the Wiki articles (specifically the UWP Templates. The list is for the Classic Era (1115) data, but could be generated for any currently supported era. And across a number of other factors.

The downside is this requires going through 2,718 articles and re-verifying the UWP data, adding information as needed.

Specific feedback I'm looking for is do you like the look? Can you suggest a better layout for showing the data. Keep in mind the Infobox is supposed to be 1/4 or less of the page on the left depending upon your screen width. And it's (currently) a fixed width.

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking for comments on. The block at the top with UWP stats for multiple eras for a single system, or the box at the bottom with UWP stats for multiple systems for a single era. <or both>

Hi Thomas,

The look still feels a little off to me although I like to better than the current UWP data box.

The biggest caveat I have is that I'd like a notes box that doesn't display in which to put odd data including the new T5 fields ({Ix}, (Ex), [Cx], N).

I also am almost done with a nobility box that will display that data.

Other than those reservations, I think it's really cool work! Great job!

Shalom,
