Forum:Introducing Metabox: Difference between revisions

::As for the other points, those changes are largely a minor issue. The biggest obstacle will be adaptation, not because one way of doing it is necessarily more correct than another, but simply because it is different. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]^{[[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]}''' 18:56, September 10, 2013 (UTC)

:::Update: At present, Metabox is in the midst of being rolled out to the various message templates on the wiki. You can see which templates are based on Metabox by viewing [[:Category:Templates using Metabox]]. As for Nikel's suggestions... it may still be worth considering changing the syntax of the template. The longer we wait, the more work-intensive it would be to make a change, as it would likely involve using a bot to tweak the coding on each individual template or page that uses Metabox. However, a change would still be possible. Ultimately, I chose to implement the code as written because I felt it would be easier in the long run, but I may have failed to appreciate the familiarity with the style used by other templates (including Parthenon). At this point, I would support changing the syntax if others supported that position as well. Otherwise, I feel we should leave it as-is, if for no other reason than to avoid unnecessary headaches. What do you all think? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]^{[[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]}''' 22:40, September 24, 2013 (UTC)
