Lifeinvader Profiles
I've been doing a bit of work this weekend building a template to replicate the GTA V in-game Lifeinvader profiles. The intent is to include this template on any character that has a Lifeinvader page in-game. This will also automatically include them in the new category I have also added.

The template, as it stands at the moment, fairly closely replicates the look of the in-game page, with the Friends list page open displaying up to 20 friends with working links to each of their pages.

I have also done a bit of work seeing if I can more closely replicate the functionality of the in-game page by using 4 tabbers for profile/photos/friends/stalking but there appears to be limited formatting options available to the editor when using the tabber function, so some of the aesthetics of the template would be lost in favour of the additional functionality. {| class="infobox" align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 500px;"

I'd like to know your opinions on which version would be more useful.

Flat Version: Tabbed version:
 * Closely replicates look of in-game site
 * Functional for friends list only, no stalking list visible
 * Loses visual similarity for the tabs with background and text formatting lost
 * Fully-functional for both Friends and Stalking tabs, Photos tab is non-functional in-game so would have no content anyway, Profile (messages) tab content would not need to be replicated in the template (at this stage).

The current (flat) version has been trialed on Franklin Clinton's page. I am still undecided on whether to align the template on the right as an infobox or whether to align it in the center of the wiki page to more closely mimic the internet appearance or to align it on the left as a normal article table.

Thanks for reading. smurfy (coms) 11:18, May 3, 2015 (UTC)

Comments
Please add any comments or suggestions for improvements to either version:
 * The Tabbed version looks less confusing. However, both versions of the infobox looks very confusing in the mobile version. MC (MyComputer) 12:08, May 3, 2015 (UTC)
