Regarding the infobox, I really feel there's some really hardcore well-made infoboxes out there, and it would behoove you to go and research those instead of re-inventing the wheel. --[[User:Jason Scott|Jason Scott]] ([[User talk:Jason Scott|talk]]) 03:36, 1 November 2012 (UTC) | : To use talk in this context, put a colon (:) before your sentence and then type, ultimately clicking on that second-from-the-right button that looks like a signature.

About Template:FormatInfo...
e.g. What fields are missing? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_file_format for ideas, but note that so many fields may be overkill.
e.g. Should it be called ElectronicFormatInfo to avoid confusion?
TODO
- Add conditional logic so empty fields don't show up.
- Probably remove direct link to IANA.
Question 1 from CR: Is there a way to add signature information to your InfoBox style?
Question 2 from CR: How do we best reflect similar and different information for different versions?
(Sorry, I don't really know how I'm supposed to do "Talk" in this context! - CR)
- To use talk in this context, put a colon (:) before your sentence and then type, ultimately clicking on that second-from-the-right button that looks like a signature. If you're responding to a sentence with a colon in front of it, put two, a la ::. Regarding the infobox, I really feel there's some really hardcore well-made infoboxes out there, and it would behoove you to go and research those instead of re-inventing the wheel. --Jason Scott (talk) 03:36, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- I added a PRONOM option to the template. But perhaps it belongs in a separate template, like what Wikipedia does with its Authority Control template?
