Forum:Request/suggestion: Infoboxes for non-DWU franchises

Introduction
As I've both watched and helped our collection of Real world series with DWU connections pages grow, I couldn't help but think that these pages could do with their own types of infoboxes. It would have the usual fields like release date and publisher/company of origin, but then maybe sections that highlight relevant media and what year(s) they were "active".

It should look something like this (using Sonic the Hedgehog as an example):

I like this idea and I have a couple of suggestions myself. These are fields I commonly use and feel are helpful.


 * |name          =
 * |image         =
 * |main character =
 * |setting       =
 * |enemy         =
 * |writer        =
 * |plural writer =
 * |genre         =
 * |bts           =
 * |trailer       =
 * |fullvid       =

These few could be good for television series. They may need a similar sort of "|plural writer =" field for any of these fields that have multiple individuals working those jobs.
 * |director      =
 * |editor        =
 * |producer      =

A new field could be good for series with a sole creator, such as Alex Hirsch.
 * |creator       =

 * I can put this together soon, assuming no-one has any major objections. Bongo50   ☎  18:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Seems basically sound, but is there a particular reason we would need different "writer=" and "plural writer=" variables, instead of a single "writer(s)"? By which same token it strikes me that we may as well put parenthetical "(s)"s on several other fields, not least of which "|main character=", which would enable us to, for example, link both Kirk, Picard and whoever else at Star Trek (franchise).


 * I also think "media" is a bit vague, especially as not all stories in "Real-world series with DWU connections" have necessarily had official crossovers. "Official DWU crossover(s)" would seem to be a clearer field. I'm agnostic as to whether we also need an "Unofficial DWU crossover(s)" field, or whatever.

 * I assume that Epsilon is refering to the |plural writer= parameter I added to . The infobox checks the |writer= field for things like ",", "&" or "and" that would indicate that there are multiple writers listed. When one of these is detected, the label is automatically is pluralised to "writers". Setting |plural writer= to any value forces the label to be pluralised to "writers".
