User:Tetris L/QuickInfo

QuickInfo is a concept that I've been pondering about for quite a while. This page describes my suggestions, as a basis for evaluation and discussion.

QuickInfo is meant to be used for brief summary information about a subject that is being repeated on many other pages. For example, virtually every page about a crafter has a brief description what a crafter is and does. Why not put a bit of automization into this?

QuickInfo makes use of two templates:
 * 1) User:Tetris L/qi for a small infobox
 * 2) User:Tetris L/qis for a very small info icon. The actual info is only visible via mouse-over pop-up

In order to make the templates work there has to be sub-article /QuickInfo for the subject article, for example. This one should contain a very brief summary of the most important facts, preferrably only one single sentence, maximum 3 sentences.

If the QuickInfo has been filled in, you may then use the two templates:

The first template:

The second template:



... will be displayed as a small icon with a mouse-over pop-up:
