Are you sure you want to permit specifying infobox width? As soon as some enthusiastic editor with a high screen resolution discovers this, we will get 400-px-wide infoboxes. - Emt147 Burninate! 23:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- By replacing my code with
{{#ifexpr:23<{{{infoboxwidth|23}}}|23|{{{infoboxwidth|23}}}}}em, we should be able to set the width to no more than 23em. There are probably some other options as well. Fortunately, there's not much rush, so we should be too worried just yet.
- The reason why I made the addition was because of articles like the Abrial A-3 Oricou, where little information is available to add into the infobox, and thus a lot of whitespace is present. Ingoolemo talk 16:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

- Fair enough. So long as we don't get 400px infoboxes it's fine by me. :) - Emt147 Burninate! 17:06, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
I reverted Infobox Aircraft to the <table> tag because {| creates an extra linebreak in conjunction with the WP:Air header comment (just one of those inexplicable Wiki quirks). Our options are either to keep the table tag which will not tolerate expr within it or to edit all pages using the infobox so the box code starts on the same like as the WP:Air header comment (boring but very easy with AWB). - Emt147 Burninate! 00:53, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Since it's just a matter of an extra linebreak, I don't think it's too much of an issue. Since I'm busy with my 'updates and tweaks' to all articles using {{aircraft specifications}}, I should be able to fix the linebreak issue in most of the articles in question.
- As a side note, can you remind me what template you're using to insert the WP:Air header? Ingoolemo talk 17:36, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

- I copy and paste from a file on my computer. :) - Emt147 Burninate! 19:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
