Hello fellow mappers!

In order to inform everyone I decided to write this here, so everyone knows it’s there and could use it if they want.

I found myself - and clearly many other users too - missing some infoboxes about things we love to write about most, like public transportation and wars. I did create them immediately in my best way possible, and here they are. And there will be more coming soon.

The Port infobox is made for ports already existing on the Harbour page. Since there is a lot of attention for air traffic, which already has an comprehensive infobox, this should make seaports more interesting to write about. As the documentation is not ready yet, an example is available here.

The Mass Transit infobox was a largely missed one looking at various diary posts, resulting into alternatives like images as infobox or no infobox at all. Since Public Transit was already used and I don’t know who makes use of it, it’s called Mass transit.

As a nice finishing touch, the infobox it’s colors are customizable, so that it could fit the logo or such so it’s more pleasing to the eye. Note that this is only optional. Read the documentation for more information about how to use it, although it’s quite easy to use.

The Military conflict infobox was a nightmare to make. To make it look like the one on Wikipedia, the width of the columns had to be adjusted. Since all infobox columns are made equal by the stylesheet (a code page that tells how everything on the wiki should look), I had to be very creative to solve this, but it worked and now it’s there, looking like it’s big wikipedia brother, but completely build for OGF-use from scratch. It could be used to describe all your conflicts, wars, battles, etc. already there on the Wars and Conflicts page. The information in the preview of this infobox are just placeholders. Please read the documentation for more information how to use it.

Please mind that this infobox is a first version and that things might change quickly in the nearby future. At the moment, a lot of HTML code is used to fill in the infoboxes. Since not all of you know HTML very well, I will try to completely avoid any use of it in the infobox. The existing parameters will most likely stay the same, but nothing can be guaranteed. The use of this infobox is currently at your own risk, you probably need to update things in the future to keep it working.

So what do you guys think? Do you have additions for the infoboxes? Or any other feedback about them? Or maybe other infoboxes you would like to use that don’t exist yet?
