Template talk:5X5 infobox

image & title/content

Thanks for the input, but I can't say I like including the 5X5 image, it would be the same for all of them, and not very pretty.
Regarding the title, most of the episodes have a short entry in the 'contents' section in the 5X5 archive that would make a good title. The longer ones can be shortened easily to a few words.

If the image was prettier would you mind including one (even though it would be used across all the 5x5 transcripts)? I'm a fan of having an image in the infobox and wouldn't mind working on an image that was more satisfying (perhaps 5 'people icons' around a clock or something - just the first thing that popped into my head). If you really don't like the idea of the same image being repeated across all of the 5x5 transcripts feel free to take it out now - no objections here.

Regarding the title/contents I don't know why you want a 'title' - perhaps you could explain it and that might help me see things in a different way. For me, I don't see the benefit of making up a title for the episode by shortening the contents when it's just as easy to include all of the contents. Thejmii (talk) 23:18, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Image – Personally, I don't think the image adds anything, and that one kinda dominates on such small pages, but I'm happy to be persuaded otherwise if that's the consensus, just giving my opinion.

Title – I like having an easily identifiable topic for the pages, like the podcast archive has adopted since ~2009. If this is clear from the page headers, then it doesn't need to be included in the infobox, but as the infobox is a kind of summary of important points, I think it helps clarity. From a quick look at the 5X5 archive, around 70% have short 'contents' that are effectively keyword titles. The others - especially the first 30 or so - have a full sentence in their 'contents', but contain easily identifiable keywords. I like the idea of keyword-based 'titles' to improve clarity and uniformity, based on the current format of the 5X5 podcast notes, not the original one. I think adding the longer contents to infoboxes is too cluttered, and unnecessary, and should be left to the page itself. In this way, I think we need to leave the 'contents' in the main page, as page titles (i.e. episode numbers) aren't informative (see ep.1).

Thanks for the discussion, it's been difficult to get feedback on stuff thus far.
