[edit] More Categories
I would like more categories added to the template, such as "applied psychology" and maybe "counseling psychology"whicky1978 talk 20:31, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- One possible principle could be that the list of sub-areas in the template should correspond to those listed in the heading of the portal. Currently that list is: Applied · Behavioral · Biological · Clinical · Cognitive · Developmental · Educational · Evolutionary · Gestalt · Humanistic · Linguistics · Personality · Sensory · Social.

[edit] Too Many Categories
This bar is too long. I'm going to remove some. Bacchiad 06:51, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Educational Psychology belongs in the template
Hi Bacchiad: Educational psychology belongs in the template because it is not suitably classified within any of the other categories. It draws extensively from all forms of psychology listed in the current template (developmental, cognitive, etc.). It is indeed a form of applied psychology, but stands on its own because it has large professional and academic membership relative to other branches of psychology. Educational psychology has a relatively big footprint on the web -- by my count about twice as many google hits as developmental psychology and applied psychology, and eight times as many as evolutionary psychology (search with terms in quotes). The purpose of this sort of template is to aid navigation and reduce mouse clicks. Therefore, content which is likely to have higher traffic should have higher priority for listing in the template. cheers Nesbit 21:44, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Keep this template?
Hi everybody! Now, since there is a new navigation template for Psychology (see:Template:Psychology navigation), which is more exhaustive and complete, i was wondering if this template is still useful. Before I put it for deletion, I would like to know your opinion about it. Please, leave your comments below or on my disscusion page. Thanks. Frédérick Lacasse 23:29, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- I've seen a number of pages that have a brief template like this in the upper-right corner (appropriately unobtrusive, taking little horizontal space, and also having in this case the virtues of having stood the test of time and having been tweaked by quite a few editors) in addition to a more comprehensive navigation template at the bottom of the page. Both templates serve a purpose. This one should not be deleted. -DoctorW 00:07, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
