Template talk:Contents pages (footer box)

[edit] Merge
Can we center as default, and just pick a spacing mark? (ndashes look clearest, imo).
I've added "Portals" to the centered version. I think thats the only content difference.
Based on the 4 locations both types are located at, it would also be improved by a box like this
Alternative categorization schemes
By category · Overview articles · By Dewey Decimal · By LOC Class · By academic discipline · Lists by category · By historical year · By anniversary · By cycle · Almanac/Reference tables · Biographies · Countries · How-tos · Portals · Alphabetical index
sound good? -Quiddity 06:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'm merging them now. will add box as 2nd edit. --Quiddity 09:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
I've reformatted it a bit:
Academic disciplines – Glossariess – How-tos – Lists – Overviews – Portals – Reference tables – Timelines
Indices: Alphabetical – Anniversaries – Categories – Countries – Cycles – Dewey Decimal – LOC Classes – People
It's indented to match the margins on the portal and category browse pages. --Nexus Seven 20:50, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New merge
This template {{Reference pages (header bar)}} should probably be merged here, or at least kept close-watch on and kept synchronous with here, as it has been recently added to a number of top-level pages. --Quiddity 04:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Reference pages (footer box) is a footer template. Reference pages (header bar) is a header template. Because of their differing functions, they're not compatible for a merge, but keeping them synchronized is a good idea. Template:Reference pages (footer box) doesn't work at the top of a page, because it is just too bulky. Template:Reference pages (header bar) works for the pages it is on because it is streamlined. It simply replaced Template:browsebar on those pages when the reference links disappeared from that template. Portals have portal links at the top, reference pages have reference page links - but the bar is placed only upon those pages included in the bar itself, as trying to put it everywhere would be too much work, would cause a big conflict, and would clutter the database. Putting something like this on every page would be useful, but should be done efficiently, without repeating code, in the sidebar on monobook. --Nexus Seven 10:04, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
