Forum:Update Milky Way Templates

 Details and purpose  Since the switch to the new wikia skin a long while ago, the templates for Milky Way articles has not been updated to accommodate a narrower content width. The infoboxes take up more than half the width, causing these articles to appear congested. The rows aren't easily readable due the suboptimal text alignment. This project serves to address those issues.

The various infoboxes below (and their supporting templates) that are used throughout galaxy-related pages such as clusters, systems, planets and moons will be updated for a slimmer look.


 * Template:Cluster
 * Template:System
 * Template:Planet
 * Template:Moon
 * Template:Homeworld
 * Template:Colony

Eventhough these templates below are not infoboxes, it will also be updated for stylistic consistency with the updated infoboxes.


 * Template:PointsOfInterest
 * Template:MineralScanning

 Implementation 
 * The CSS codes below need to be implemented for the templates to work correctly.
 * Currently, the infoboxes image is linked outside of the templates with a width of 320px. Although the updated templates will attempt to filter out current implementation of [[File:]] and [[Image:]] from the image value, the best practice is to remove it altogether, as the templates will set the width and link from within.
 * Article adjustments from the extra width acquired.

 Sample pages  Before viewing the sample links, you will need to copy all the CSS below and add it into your personal CSS styles at  http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/User:[YOURUSERNAME]/wikia.css  (example: http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/User:Teugene/wikia.css). Don't forget to remove it after you are done viewing the pages below.
