Default A new standard for Television pages?

What do you guys think about how this TV page was built?

http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Archiv_des_Todes

Personally, I think the box/table info for the show, especially a FOREIGN show (foreign to Americans that is) is really cool. Sure it takes more time to make, but many of these foreign television shows are truly unknown/alien to American viewers. Heck, we share a common language with Canadians & the British but there are tons of regional shows that we as Americans have never heard of.

I like the preliminary info on the show. I think this should be the standard (or at least the standard which we seek to strive for) for all foreign television shows (and then eventually all American television shows).

Thoughts? Input? Opinions?

It looks good.

However, I have a question. What is the stand procedure for listing calibers such as .25, .32, and .380?

Standard measurements such as above or metric?

As long as it's done consistently for the whole page, either is ok.

One of the foreign users had been using that format for his film before he left.

I think it would be a great addition. I attempted to revamp the Infobox for movies a little over a month ago (Movie Infobox Template). I'd be happy to make one for foreign TV shows as well. Would that be helpful?

I really LIKE that template. How do you do that. I want to do that to all my pages

How do you MAKE the template or how do you USE the template? Making the template is a little complicated and takes some time just messing around with it. Using the template is a piece of cake. Let me know.

Also, you can check out Hott Fuzz for an example of how the template is implemented. I'd love to get some more feedback on this template and try to make it more widespread IF and ONLY IF you admins like it. :-)

I went ahead and created a Foreign TV Infobox template. I used Archiv Des Todes in the example. I would love to hear what you guys think.

:-)

I have done infoboxes for a few things, but normally didn't bother as they were quite a bit of work doing them manually (along with being most likely not standard), but that template looks like it will be very helpful.
