So I've decided to start implementing the Portable Infoboxes. However, when I got to character infoboxes, I made a few decisions that may be over-stepping my bounds without really discussing it on the forums.

First off, I deprecated a number of Parameters that I feel are useless (This means that articles that use these Parameters will be added to Category:Deprecated_Parameters; note that it will take some time for Wikia's cache to really kick in). The more important ones are "Images", and "VRMMORPG". Aside from that, I deprecated the various secondary parameters ("Family 2", "Family 3", "Occupation 2", "Occupation 3", ect..)

My reasoning is as followed:

"Images" doesn't need to be its own parameter outside of "Image". the tag, from the portable infobox adapts to whether your input is an image, or a &lt;tabber> object. At the moment

"VRMMORPG" is misleading, especially because of the existence of "UnderWorld". I feel it's better to replace it alltogether with "VR World". Going back to the old parameter is possible, but I'm still adamant about removing the need for multiple parameters. Why have "Family 2" AND "Famiy 3", when I can just a make a list in "Family"? (There's also the issue that it's difficult to implement this with Portable Infoboxes anyways)

Discuss.
