Experiments

with major templates are to be done in sandboxes, not in the mainspace because too many articles are affected. Example: start two sandboxes, User:HawkFromHell/Sandbox1 and User:HawkFromHell/Sandbox2. Copy a template into Sandbox1, and try an article in Sandbox2, directing it to the right template location, e.g., {{User:HawkFromHell/Sandbox1 instead of {{elementbox.

It's not affected now. I just made the electron configs clickable and linked to larger pictures.--LOLCat talk 07:40, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. There was an anonymous request to enlarge the electron configuration images right at the time of your edits, and I somehow imagined it was you unlogged who tried to tweak the infobox. Nevermind. Materialscientist (talk) 07:50, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

That was me, but then I logged in and tried myself.--LOLCat talk 13:24, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I looked at the problem then, and couldn't find an easy solution - the images intend to keep the orbitals at same size for all elements, that makes them very small for light elements (say boron). We can't increase the infobox width because this will squeeze the text (already tried), and increasing the thumbnail size will disbalance the top picture. Thus having the image clickable is perhaps the optimal solution. Materialscientist (talk) 01:00, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
