Regarding a discussion on the [[Talk:Type-26_Banshee#Picture|T-26 Banshee talk page]] I was wondering how you guys would feel about adding a tab feature for the infobox. [http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Asuna Example]. This would be mostly for Covenant weapons and vehicles, since they usually have the most subvariants, but would also include pages like the [[Kig-Yar]] and [[M6H magnum]].[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith Venator</span>]] [[File:Mega Blastoise.gif|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Dank Memes</span>]]) 17:27, 9 August 2015 (EDT)

:The above suggestion is just to stop the tab being overfilled with options. As Halo 5 may overload the M6H article if the above isnt applied. -[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 22:42, 9 August 2015 (GMT)

::I think it would be fine for Mjolnir too. I'm not sure about adding skins to the infobox, probably best to keep those in their respective galleries.[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith Venator</span>]] [[File:Mega Blastoise.gif|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Dank Memes</span>]]) 18:00, 9 August 2015 (EDT)

:::I'm cool even if we dont include skins with this idea. But if we go up by game release order for the variants, the dropbox idea still applies to Halo Online and Halo 5 regardless. Mostly due to the fact that its not skins we are talking about but actual variants(add-ons) to the weapons/vehicles. -[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 23:12, 9 August 2015 (GMT)

::::It's really going to depend on how much information we have. If the information is available the tabs will be ordered via named variant. Example being the Banshee, going A, AZ, B, BZ, C, and whatever the H5G version is, which until we know the name we could just label as ''Halo 5: Guardians'' variant. The MA5D tabs could probably go under game titles though, followed by their variants for each game. Though it's going to be a long time before we get cutouts for the variants in ''Halo Online''.[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith Venator</span>]] [[File:Mega Blastoise.gif|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Dank Memes</span>]]) 18:23, 9 August 2015 (EDT)

I approve of this decision for all Covenant stuff as well as things with multiple variants but the same designation for all of them.--[[User:The Master Builder|The Master Builder]] ([[User talk:The Master Builder|talk]]) 17:54, 9 August 2015 (EDT)

I think we should definitely do it, that way you wont have to go to the bottom of the page and find the image you want. Also, i'll make sure to get a less reflective beam rifle image. -- [[User:Topal the Pilot|'''Topal the Pilot''']] [[File:Blueteam.png|20px]] <small>([[User talk:Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Talk'''</span>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Contribs'''</span>]])</small> 21:20, 9 August 2015 (EDT)

:I don't know... I can see its use, but I'd like to think that a gallery or gallery category would be able to suffice for different models, subspecies, in-game designs, etc. without taking up space in the infobox. A lot of the time, the different appearances in an object is just due to artistic licence or updated graphics or whatever. I like what we have done on the Banshee page, where we have a small, in-universe gallery for the different Banshee variants. As for different weapon skins, we could just place them in the gallery or the gallery category if they take up too much space. If anything, I would apply infobox tabs for weapon skins over weapon/vehicle/whatever variants, design differences, etc. - [[User:NightHammer|NightHammer]] ([[User talk:NightHammer|talk]]) 21:33, 9 August 2015 (EDT)
