Sorting out these infoboxes

The following discussion is preserved as an archive. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

Global or individual

Quoting my to-do list:

 Comment We have fragmented infoboxes that are shared among items (hat infobox being used for misc items)... one central infobox or truly seperate infoboxes need to be implemented.

I believe it's time to get started with this. I want this discussion to be used to decide which approach we should take for infoboxes: An individual infobox for each type of item OR A global infobox.

Stick your arguments for / against below, use  Approve or  Oppose to label the context of your comment under each section: I'm trying to keep neutral in this discussion, so I'll just add some example opinions on each as I think of them.

Individual infoboxes

•  Oppose Individual infoboxes would be a pain to update if there's an item-wide attribute change. -RJ 16:53, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Global infobox

•  Approve Only one place to edit global attribute changes. All the attributes for items would have to be within the item's article - no infobox defaults.
•  Approve I stated this earlier and I think it should occur.  – Smashman _(talk) 18:07, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Support For the same reason Smashman points out. ~ lhavelund ^{(talk ▪ contrib)} 00:06, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Approve Some items may have a lot of similarities, and yes, separate infoboxes are complicated to update them all. Shock394 03:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

 Info Nobody voting for Individual infoboxes after 4 days, I think we can consider a Global infobox the agreed solution. -RJ 17:34, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Infobox attributes
