Consitency with game infobox

I made {{Game Infobox}} when I saw that this infobox wouldn't describe games well enough, and I didn't feel like refactoring someone else's infobox for that.

Game infobox is made with textual info in mind, so it's aligned to the left, and lets you input anything into every section.

This one is made with graphics in mind, so it's centered. It also features preset choices like for OS or Engine.

Personally I think it would be better if it were reworked now for retroactive consistency with Game infobox.

We appear to be set on course toward gradually decreasing use of icons and colours, I think it's easier to see info in text than deciphering icons (for example for programming languages), and some icons are just too generic, like just "Windows". Software can be specifically dependant on a particular version, just using Win 10's (or is it 11?) icon isn't good enough.

Is there going to be consensus? Cvoxalury (talk) 18:04, 22 June 2024 (PDT)

Multiple languages

This template should really be updated to support multiple languages.
