User blog:Wingstrike/Death to the Overlords

Hi guys, some of of you will have noticed the new sharing buttons on every single page introduced by Wikia in their recent update (which we didn't ask for...). Unfortunately, this has also broken the Switch2 template.

After a lot of help from Central, I have managed to replace Switch2 with a similar looking Tabber, while keeping existing tabbers as they are for users who use like tabber's style over Switch2 (looking at you here Carlos).

The infoboxes are being rebuilt almost entirely from scratch so that they can support integrated tabbers and hopefully be more resilient to new updates. However, old infoboxes which have only one image are currently unaffected, so pages that don't use Switch2 are low on the priority list.

Once they have been successfully written out, Switch2 will be deleted for good as it is now dead weight.

Single images (or inserted tabbers) can be put on the page through as single field: |image= |image=

Multiple images using the integrated tabber use multiple entry fields:
 * image1=
 * form1=
 * image2=
 * form2=
 * image1=RX-0 Unicorn Gundam.jpg
 * form1=Front
 * image2=RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Rear.jpg
 * form2=Rear
 * image3=RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode.jpg
 * form3=Front (Destroy Mode)
 * image4=RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode Rear.jpg
 * form4=Rear (Destroy Mode)

Currently up to ten images can be supported.

Additionally, |kanji and |romanji fields will be added into every infobox.

Updated infoboxes:
 * Template:Mobile Suit Infobox
 * Template:Mobile Armor Infobox
 * Template:Ship Infobox
 * Template:Gunpla Infobox
 * Template:Character Infobox

In short, business mostly as usual, and I probably deserve a medal for pulling this one together.
