Non-linked text next to images
It appears that non-linked text next to an image in this template is rendered higher than linked text (see ‘Rank’ here for an example; I also inserted the text and image into the main infobox at Aristotle and got (in a preview) the same thing, so I'm assuming the issue affects all infoboxes on Wikipedia). Is this a purely technical issue, or does the template code simply have to be changed? Esszet (talk) 00:59, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
"title" and "above"
By virtue of the fact that it is placed inside the infobox, |above=
has come to be used in lieu of |title=
by people who find it to be more visually appealing. However, |above=
is marked up as a regular header cell, and not a table caption, like |title=
; therefore, not only do infoboxes which use |above=
suffer semantically, but they also fail to satisfy WCAG 2.0, and, by extension, our accessibility guidelines. To overcome this, I propose that |above=
be converted into an inside-the-box caption, and thus be made mutually exclusive with |title=
. As a first step, we’d need to add tracking to the module to identify infoboxes which use both |title=
and |above=

Help - busted infobox motorcycle club
Sorry, I don't know where to post this. There's an odd problem with a particular infobox combined with the URL template illustrated here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_motorcycle_club/sandbox&diff=686274909&oldid=607468585 ... could somebody take a look? - Brianhe (talk) 04:19, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
- I see what the problem is. The documentation tells people to wrap the URL with {{URL}}, but the template already wraps the argument with {{URL}} by itself. It's done twice, so it doesn't work. How about if we change the documentation to tell people to use a bare URL? —hike395 (talk) 06:23, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
- Yep, changing the documentation for Template:Infobox motorcycle club sounds like the best course of action. Template:Infobox itself doesn't do any URL processing, so no changes are necessary here. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 09:49, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
