Comments[edit]

An infobox is a great idea! I don't think it should include an image, though, just dates, cycle number, and links to the next/previous cycle. -- 101.117.108.126 (talk) 01:00, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

However, I oppose the infobox in the form currently intended. -- 101.117.108.96 (talk) 11:32, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The image is an optional part of the infobox, I don't see how providing it is a detractor.Primefac (talk) 07:47, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Things to consider[edit]

A few things I've been thinking about regarding the infobox before it goes live

Cycle chronology - should the previous/next cycles contain the dates as well as the number? If so, should they be in rows instead of columns?
Max counts - should the date be immediately after the count, or does it look nicer with the date on the following row?
Row titles - are they too vague?

Thoughts are appreciated. Primefac (talk) 10:55, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
