Heya :) After talking to a lot of your fellow community members in staff, you were nominated as one of the two admin with the greatest technical interest in Wikia's new portable infoboxes.

Although the percentage of KC's traffic from mobile devices is still fairly low, the absolute numbers are impressive. Last month you got some 35k unique visitors via a mobile device. We expect for that number to keep growing. Which is why we'd like to offer you help transitioning to the new style of infobox.

We realise that your main infoboxes, EquipmentInfoKai, ShipInfoKai and EnemyShipInfoKai, are Lua-heavy, and that you're most likely concerned over whether you can preserve that data maintenance in moving to the new infobox code. That's why, sometime this week — but certainly by Friday — we'd like to offer you help from our team of Lua engineers.

We'd like to have them drop by and build at least one sample infobox as a proof of concept. You may find that various staff members will edit your Wikia.css minimally, in an effort to style the infobox prototype to be closer to those you're using now.

I should point out that it is extraordinarily rare for our engineering team to have the time in their schedules to work with individual wikis, and it's certainly a measure of how highly we regard yours that we're able to make this offer to you.

Do you have any objections to us at least trying to deliver this sample infobox to you? (Note that this same message is also being delivered to Nanamin, at the request of other users who were in chat earlier today.)
