Redesign of Infobox PT groups
[edit]- Page views over 90d: Groups 1-9 + article, Groups 10-18
- I propose to redesign this infobox. Levels of approach:
- 1. Change into using {{Infobox}}. Today it is an elaborate wikitable construct. {{Infobox}} handles redering much better, including layout, handling images, serving mobile applications.
- 2. At the top level (information in infobox top):
Also, the header (group info) should be bigger. Add top image that signals the group typical (see the fireworks with the alkalis!).
- 3. At the individual element level: today the member elements are given much individual atention but not group-wise, they have a brick-size image, information that is not that group-related (occurrence?), and they require a legend.
- For this, I propose to reduce per element the image size, and make legend in-data (no color meaning description, just describe directly: "Solid"). All or most info per element should lead to some group meaning (for example, show the electron configuration pattern).
- To improve this, we could only add data that is strongly group-related. Any element data that is added, should be comparatively interesting. Next question: how to present this in a good way?
- 4. Add data table to article. In general, group-related data can be better detailed and presented in overview when in a wikitable, not in an infobox. We could consider adding a table to all article bodies. -DePiep (talk) 13:13, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- Testcases
I've started {{Infobox periodic table group/sandbox}} for this. Testcases for groups 1, 3 and 18 are in /testcases. -DePiep (talk) 13:13, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- Comments?
For example: which group properties should be in the header, and which element properties should be with each member element? Which properties not so? -DePiep (talk) 13:13, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
