Hey all! I have implemented CSS for infoboxes to be optionally colored like the Eureka vault. This is achieved by creating an infobox just like any other, and then surrounding it once, with a single edit to the template page with a. If that div is left out or its class blank, then the infobox will just be colored like Artifact.

It would be very easy to implement further color schemes. Here is the edit in which I added this color scheme to existence.

I would be very happy to begin to implement these portable infoboxes across the wiki - and this would be a very easy process, involving only changes to template pages - but I must ask that the content of this page be copied to Mediawiki:Wikia.css first. I can't do this because I am not an admin.

Until that is done, infoboxes in the preferred portable format will not be styled the way that this wiki's users have indicated their preference for. And the edit itself will not change anything on any page, because no Portable Infoboxes are currently used on this wiki. Existing infoboxes will not be affected until I verify everything is all right and swap them over.

In the meantime, take a look at Special:InfoboxBuilder which is a page that lets you point-and-click to build an infobox - necessarily in the new portable format. So easy! Also check out Template:Portable Infobox and see how massively simple the code is to edit (though remember the styles haven't been installed). These are just some of the new benefits of the new format.
