Edit

First, the above "How to use" should be on the front, with "noinclude" tags.

Also, why is the "Species" box so strange? Why not just a normal colspan=2 box? --Raijinili 21:39, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

The Species box is like that because it's coded to not appear if nothing is added (Trainer Cards, ect.) The "How to use" is probably in the talk page due to it's length compared to the actual template. - Kogoro | Talk to me | 22:16, 9 November 2008

Actually, different infoboxes are used for Trainer and Energy cards, so the width of the Species row...I don't see why it can't be colspan="2", no. We'll have to wait and see what other admins think, as I'm still the baby. Cipher ^(Talk) 22:42, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Edit request

Edit this template so the automatic image resolution is 180px, but make it so that a user can also choose a different resolution, in case the image is smaller than the mentioned resolution. ^Chocolate 18:00, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't, really. Images shouldn't be under 180px anyway. As for the Japanese card images, which are something like 162px...not sure, they should be replaced anyway. But it doesn't stretch 'em too much anyways. Cipher ^(Talk) 18:22, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry if I'm kind of late, but it stays 180 for everything. 180 is the closest we can get to real life card sizes, so it must stay. ^Maverick_Nate 20:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

But in real life, cards don't like stretched, do they? ^Chocolate 21:57, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
