User blog comment:Mainframe98/Proposal: a Business Infobox/@comment-3967731-20170307114355

I have a general question which I hope won't be taken as an insult: what's the purpose of this particular infobox? Do you recall the discussion we had over the Scripted Events template you made a while ago? It too was well-designed and a great idea in theory. The problem came in practice wherein pictures and information which would've been discussed in the main body of the article was repeated within the template.

With this template, all the rich details of the business (owners, rivals, employees, products, etc) are all listed in a long narrow box while the page itself will be mostly empty. Now with main setting spaces like Dr. Steinman's Aesthetic Ideals, Fontaine Futuristics (Business), Mercury Suites, etc. this is not a problem, but what about the dozens and dozens of other businesses which fill in the landscape of Rapture (and far outnumber the above-mentioned "major" businesses) like Marlene's Flower Emporium, Richard's Farm Fresh Quality Cheese, Fontaine's Machinery Co., and so on?

Furthermore, is this infobox to be left-aligned? Will that mean that the current layout (a smallish, left-aligned png "marquee" image and a 250px, right-aligned general image sandwiching a quote and body of text) will be changed? I'll ignore my personal feelings (the fact that I really like that layout) and instead argue something more objective: if the infobox is approximately 250px wide (like most of the others are) then the text will look smooshed between the infobox on the left and the general image on the right.

Additionally, there's the problem of the many neon signs which are landscape oriented like Lentz Bijoux & Bibelots, Hotel Monseñor, Finley, Andalusian Arms, and others. Won't those stretch the infobox to unappealingly long lengths?

My main problem is that I just don't see the need. I'm sorry to be such a wet blanket about this, but I see about a dozen formatting, consistency, and layout problems presented with this infobox. Perhaps you have answers that'll put my mind at ease or even make me reconsider.
