User:DoggoBit/Sandbox/Infobox board
An infobox to be used on board-specific pages, e.g. NixOS_on_ARM/Raspberry_Pi_5.
Usage
{{Infobox board
|title=Raspberry Pi 5
|image=Raspberry_Pi_5,_8_GB_RAM.jpg
|manufacturer=Raspberry Pi Foundation
|architecture=AArch64
|support-status=Limited community efforts
|soc=BCM2712
}}
Implementation details
The "logical" elements of the box are also captured via CSS classes, so any styles could be incorporated into the website's MediaWiki:common.css. Each element has two classes: nix-wiki and infobox-something.
All CSS properties are implemented via variables, so style inheritance would apply if the styles would be moved into the global CSS. I.e. surrounding the template in a div that overrides any one of the values will propagate the changes. For example:
<div style="--infobox-color: green;">
{{Infobox board
...
}}
</div>
In the meantime, the CSS variables can also be set via MediaWiki variables, so we could easily implement something like:
{{Infobox board
|color=green
...
}}
I wold personally love to top-align the content cells, so that we don't get the staggered lines on multi-line cells, but that would be a lot of manual work now, and would result in an overly complicated template. However, it should be a common.css one-liner.
Finally, I also have a wilder version of the infobox on top, that incorporates the angled sections from the main website:
