I respect your opinions and I of course hear them all out, but the previous character templates were like 11 years old and had bad code in them. They even displayed errors and took excessive amounts of space on the page, and didn't work properly as half of the information imputted into them wouldn't appear, just errors or nothing. These undisputably needed an overhaul. Not to mention, that they weren't even portable infoboxes. I essentially tried to update them but even then it was still out of date compared to the type of one used on Amy's page. There are a few differences between these two infoboxes which is that the one I added uses the most up to date code as well as appearing more sleek especially for the image slot, in fact most other major wikia's are switching  over to them because of how much more convenient and accessable they are to edit through CSS or the source mode editor. The template I added also has at least 5 or 6 things that the template you copied from the detectiveconanworld wiki has, and there are still a few edits I need to make to it so then it will contain even more information than it already does. These are some fairly important reasons to overhaul the templates, but another, smaller reason is because these templates are old and it's very obvious just to look. A new facelift couldn't do anything wrong. This wikia is almost dead in the sense that when I started editing here it had less than half the pages it has now for well over a decade, there wasn't a page for most things (Since it was like 270 pages or so yet this wikia could easily make around 5,000+), and of all the pages it had most were empty and had little if any information on them at all. Most of these pages contained no images what so ever, there was almost no such thing as a source on this wikia and pretty much no major edits in ages. Even the amount of people that come here is between 100-250 roughly a day which isn't really all that impressive, and it's actually been increasing lately. My duty as admin is to maintain this website, and since it's almost dead to begin with, my most important job is to attract as many people as I can and try to get this site more active week by week, month by month, until it can become populated, then all I have to do is keep everyone in check. In order to do this I need to change the website from it's pure grey color scale to a more colorful appearance, and my previous choice of forest green/dark blue/black is a night and day difference, even the current color scale I did to accomodate you is far better than pure grey, and both work well since this show is about murder and dangerous situations. I am overhauling every page here, reorganising the site from the ground up, revamping the templates, adding a page for everything that deserves it, changing basically everything from the ground up, I am trying to make this website as appealing as possible so more people will enter. If more people enter then people will be tempted to edit, and if more people edit then more people will use it for information because it will appear in google as a more immediate search, and so on.

It's great to want the site back the way it was I guess, more so if you were here years ago but that just can't be since it's simply too outdated. You should know, I'm doing what's best for this website and the people that will come here, none of the decisions I make are what I want or like but what I'm hoping others will want or like. If you like though, try looking around the entire wikia and write down all the changes you want and things you might want changed then send the entire thing to me WITH reasons for why you want or don't want something and I'll look it through and see what is feasable or not, sound fair?

PS. I'm not trying to recreate another detectiveconanworld or any other wiki that also does similarly to this one, I'm trying to make this one unique in the sense that it will look different, navigate differently and my main hope is have more information that is more detailed and better organised. That's another important reason to revamp this place top to bottom, so it can really stand out as it's own. Hopefully you understand my reasons for doing things, and if not, well I should be done revamping this place by the end of december 2017, so you can judge me and my decision making then.
