:I spoke with [[User:Revanche|Revanche]] about this, and the reason for creating a new template for novels is that InfoBoxBook doesn't offer the best information. "Production Code", "Additional Writing", and "Product Development" aren't really useful, and novel's rarely have an illustrator, but rather a cover artist. In addition there's no chronological information, such as to what series the book belongs. Since there's a solid division between the novels and any "crunch" data (manuals, field books, etc.) it makes sense to create a new template. Revanche agreed. If you think it should be handled differently you should probably speak with him since he's the Admin.

InfoBoxBook
When I wrote the article about Shrapnel I used the InfoBoxBook, although I do not know where I took it from. What I am saying is that while your template looks better, something like it is already being used on this wiki. We should seek to use one standard format. Frabby 07:11, 4 August 2008 (CDT)
