Remaining infobox changes

Hi - I've listed the second half of proposed changes, I believe they have all reached consensus but please weigh in if you think they haven't - here is the link to the template discussion. Thanks! Kelly Marie 0812 (talk) 01:53, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Infobox for couples

I'm not sure if this is at all possible, but...There are almost 40 articles are soap opera super-couples, but none have an info box for the couple. Almost every other soap-related article has some form of info box template, except for the couple pages. Would it be at all possible to create a new inforbox template for couples? It would of course be similar to the template for characters, but with some changes, including the removal of parameters that obviously don't apply to two people.

I think this would be a good idea. Bruno and Luisa di Marco is a good example - it currently uses the second general character template. I don't know of other types of infobox we already have other than the general character ones and the soap opera one, but I'd also like to see one for storylines (I've seen several storyline articles that have no infobox, e.g Who Killed Archie?) and I also did a family one for EastEnders, Template:Infobox EastEnders family, which I've just made some changes to so it could be used for other soaps. I think it's better than Template:Infobox television family. I can move it so it's called Template:Infobox soap opera family. It uses a sub-template Template:Infobox EastEnders family/member so that family members can have entries. I created it for one article, Ferreira family, where the family members don't have separate pages or individual sections in the article (one reason I did it for EastEnders only - the other being that at the time, we had loads of character templates for individual soaps, so I copied those!). So thoughts on that and a storyline inbobox would also be appreciated, as well as one for soap couples. –anemoneprojectors12:44, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
A storyline infobox is something that I'd like to see too. - JuneGloom Talk 17:13, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, everyone. Your input in the above linked discussion would be appreciated by me. Over the years, this article (yes, it is about a soap opera character; it's about a nighttime soap opera character) has been moved from its common name, and I'm certain that the latest move still violates the WP:COMMONNAME policy.
