:[[WP:MOS]] includes a section on infoboxes. If the edits are against the guidelines of the MOS, use the MOS series of warnings. If they're not counter to MOS, I think it might be difficult to characterize the changes as vandalism as opposed to a legitimate difference of opinion over appearance of the infobox (we have to assume good faith, even if the edits test the limits of that assumption). If it's continuing, you can run the count on 3RR. [[User:Bsherr|Bsherr]] 01:47, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
== Welcome ==
I think the welcoming templates on this page should be better highlighted. It seems to me that if a new user does something bad he is immediately jumped on, but if a new user does something good he is ignored. [[User:BradMajors|BradMajors]] 19:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
:While I understand and generally agree with what you are saying, I admit that I almost never use the welcome templates on this page. The most I ever do is follow the link to [[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome templates/Table]]. --[[User:Kralizec!|Kralizec!]] ([[User talk:Kralizec!|talk]]) 16:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
:I agree. I would support going at it with less in the way of examples, more in the way of guidance. We currently just provide a list of welcome templates, and our list is inferior to that of the welcoming committee. I think a good change would be to cut down the examples and link directly to the welcoming committee page, and in the same space give guidance for using the templates. I suggest a statement such as "Welcome templates provide instruction on and links to Wikipedia policies and guidelines that the newest users may be unfamiliar with, and may be used to supplement appropriate user warning template messages."

== "M"inor? ==
Is there a reason why only the "m" in "'''m'''inor" is in bold in [[Template:Uw-minor]]? -- [[User:HiEv|<span style="color:#E05858;font-weight:bold;">Hi</span>]][[User talk:HiEv|<span style="color:#C06060;font-weight:bold;">Ev</span>]] 03:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
It's an homage to the bold lower-case "m" denoting minor edits in page histories. [[User:Bsherr|Bsherr]] 04:05, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:Ah! It looked like a mistake of some sort, but since it had survived several edits I thought that there might be a reason for it. Thanks for the explanation. -- [[User:HiEv|<span style="color:#E05858;font-weight:bold;">Hi</span>]][[User talk:HiEv|<span style="color:#C06060;font-weight:bold;">Ev</span>]] 04:58, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
