Firstly, I think the new snippet of code you gave me works its just instead of displaying the verse name (so just say Genesis 1:1) at the bottom it displays a big huge long link. D'OH! Sorry about that. Just need to add  to the end of the NewWindowLink function, like this: ↑  Now only the input (example: Genesis 1:1) will appear under the Refereneces section.

Also something I didn't mention in the document was to have the number cites have the name of the reference on a mouseover white box (which I have forgotten the name for that). I know that Wikipedia started using this feature recently, but it's not a feature that Wikia offers. If you've seen it used on a Wikia community, I would recommend finding out who implemented it and reaching out to him/her.

With my experience of adding the ref tags within infoboxes it does not seem to act like a reference at all. It cites it but doesn't do it as a superscript nor does it add it to the references list at the bottom and order it numerically correct (don't know what's different for each of us). I'm confused, too. I just created User:JoePlay/test using the content from Eve and adding a reference to Peasant inside the infobox. The infobox reference is working correctly for me in Chrome and Firefox. If it's not working for you, something is obviously wrong. Use the form at Special:Contact/bug to report it to the Community Support Team, and hopefully they can help resolve it.

Some things that I sort of could use help with but don't heavily require it some regex and bot related stuff though I don't know your expertise in that and don't think that you would be obliged or able to help me in all of that. I've been using AutoWikiBrowser for several years. It has regex and is fairly easy to learn and use, and doesn't require any additional software installation, such as installing the Python language for Python-based bots. I encourage you to try it, but if you want me to run AWB's regex (typos, misspellings, grammar errors, wikitext errors, etc.), let me know.

Infoboxes themselves have several issues that I mentioned on the application for help I needed some help with infoboxes. Obviously the issue where refs within infoboxes don't work with all of the refs. Also images never seem to work there or scale very good and just in general I think the infobox needs a re-design and re-code. I agree that Template:Infobox Person could be improved. If you want to keep the current look (red background for section headings and left column), let me know, and I'll update the infobox to work properly with images and long names.

I also notice that on the page with the parameters listed it doesn't update the parameters when the template is listed (and would like that to sync somehow) I don't understand what you're describing. Could you show me an example?

and that not all the parameters hide if there is no value input Using the  function handles that. When you let me know if you want to keep the general appearance of the infobox (see above), during the template update I'll set up each parameter to only display if a value is given.

The other real small thing is in the past I have had complaints that the colors of the wiki are bad on the eyes so I have changed it to colors that are not black and white but are similair hexcodes that aren't as bad on the eyes. I am thinking perhaps it may time to just completely change the color and the current issue to much opposite contrast and wondered what your advice on that was. My only advice is to ensure good readability, which, in my opinion, already exists here for the most part. My only specific suggestion would be to use a lighter shade of blue for the color of links, as the current blue may be too dark to easily read on the black background for some people.
