Template style

Hi, I think rather than having a common header style template for societies an infobox style would be more appropriate. The infobox would still mark the article out as being a society but the information within the box would be specific to the society in question. --Steve 19:38, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Can you point me to an info box that would be a good design to copy? I need to have this done by the end of the week. It needs to be something that societies can add to their own pages easily, including the details that might reside in the box. Can the box have an image if the society wanted to include one? Did you see the template I created by copy/paste of the one you did for the Historical Records pages? I couldn't get it to look the way I wanted to, but it will do for now. But if you think the info box would be better, then I can experiment with that idea too. --Fran 21:13, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Fran, I have put together {{Infobox Societies}} and used it on the page Dorset Family History Society as an example of what can be done. Additional fields could be added, the order change around if needed. I'm now going to be away for a week, but I will have internet access so will follow-up on comments etc when I am able. That doesn't mean nobody else can edit the template, I'm happy for anybody to help improve it. --Steve 06:49, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
