:As it is now, {{tl|Sim1}} (and the like) all use {{tl|Sim}} as their base, "meta" template, so changing {{tl|Sim}} will affect all Sim templates that use it as their base. {{tl|Infobox Sim}} will most likely be used as a base template for other Sim-templates to use. So no, they'll stay separate, but they kinda already use the same code anyways. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 17:10, January 12, 2018 (UTC)
::K6 is correct... the plan is to keep {{t|Sim}}, {{t|Sim1}}, etc as well as {{t|Simbio-start}}, {{t|Simbio1}}, etc. The main reasoning behind this decision is fanon pages. Editing the {{t|Sim}} "meta infobox" would affect all other Sim and Simbio infobox templates, since all those templates are built on top of {{t|Sim}}. Fanon editors might not want the design of the infoboxes they use on their fanon pages to change, so by creating new infobox templates, we can avoid forcing those authors into a template change. The downside of this decision is that ''every page'' on the canon side of the wiki that uses a "Sim"-based infobox will have to be edited to use an "Infobox Sim"-based infobox instead. But, I also see this is as a positive, since it gives us the ability to roll the new infobox out slowly, testing it on various pages and demonstrating it to a wider audience before we fully implement it, if we choose to go that route. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 18:26, January 12, 2018 (UTC)
