Forums: Index > Watercooler > Regarding the length of infoboxes

When persuing a few articles I can't help but feel that the infoboxes on enemy pages are obnoxiously long. Does anyone think it would be a good idea to include information that is essential, like maybe carry weight or Poko value and a few other bits of info, and have the rest be hidden by a dropdown menu? I feel that it would help the wiki maintain a more clean and organized look since there won't be an infobox stretching halfway down an article. Pikmin1254 23:56, 7 June 2015 (EDT)

I was referring to height when I made that post. Though now that I look at it the width does seem a bit wide. Most of the issues with this are more apparent with shorter articles or enemies appearing in either the first Pikmin game or in Pikmin 2 and then again in Pikmin 3 such as Antenna Beetle, Dwarf Orange Bulborb, and Watery Blowhog.
