I think it would be useful if we could describe in words exactly what changes are being worked on with each alternative version of this template, and the status of each change. Could we fill this in? If you're just experimenting with something, please let us know that as well. | I think it would be useful if we could describe in words exactly what changes are being worked on with each alternative version of this template, and the status of each change.

: I didn't read that discussion on the author, All I realy did with this template was find every template that looked like it was something that was taken out of the Wiki template because of the former lack of complex functions and re-introduce it in a manor that couldn't have been done before. Note that By using No the founder row not only is blank and doesn't categorize anything, but the space it takes also disappears completely.

Well, I've noticed that some wikis out there (like [[TV Tropes]] and [[TYPE-MOON Wiki]]) use rectangular logos instead of conventional square ones. If you visit their articles, you'll see that it really messes up the the infobox. I tried tweaking the parameters and find some smart trick to compensate for it but to no avail, so I was thinking about adding a boolean parameter "wide_logo" which, if set, places the logo at the top of the infobox, and the external links directly below it: | Well, I've noticed that some wikis out there (like [[TV Tropes]] and [[TYPE-MOON Wiki]]) use rectangular logos instead of conventional square ones.

::Done it. It's a quick and dirty solution, of course, and it needs some trimming but you'll get the idea. I've applied it to the [[TYPE-MOON Wiki]] article, please, tell me what you think.
