Forum:CT Archive/Why the New Boring Templates?

I don't quite understand why there has been a shift to new "boring" templates. Previously, many templates contained a picture and a pithy quote that was related to Star Wars. For example, Template:Noncanon used to have a picture of Kreia and her quote "This one walks a different path" followed by a brief explanation about it being noncannon.



Now however, there's just a picture of an explanation mark and it goes straight to explaining the situation.

Personally, I really prefer the pictures and quotes. I find them to be part of what gives Wookieepedia its character and its charm. But at any rate, I was wondering if there is a reason for this shift in template style. To further the confusion, about half the templates use the plain style and half use the picture and text style. It really ought to be uniform. For example, on Jedi Exile, we've got right next to each other, one plain, one with quotes and text. It looks weird that way.

So I guess I've got two questions. Why the switch to the plain style and which style should all the templates have? Again, my vote is for restoring all of the "picture and quote" templates.
