[edit] Hide/Show feature

What do you think of making "Template:Regional-arch-closed" where we use something like Template:Cold War but default it to closed so that articles like Incan architecture could include this template without being too huge... thoughts? gren グレン 05:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

  • I think Grenavitar is saying that the template should be able to be opened or closed allowing for more information in a more compact space. Dividing groupings would be probably by continents, Africa, Europe, East Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, North America, South America, etc. So far so good though.

  • Oh, i see, that looks cool. Feel free to alter the code, maybe another line under the title box, above African, for hide/show? — Dogears 01:11, 5 May 2006 (UTC)


  • I've experienced some problems with this template in articles that use images - it's too long vertically and will only expand as time goes on - so I'm proposing something like this alternative:-


Or:-

Would people prefer this panel to be 'open' or 'closed' when an article is viewed? --Mcginnly | Natter 09:26, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

If used at the bottom of the page, open is preferred. What's the difference in the wikicode? (both examples look closed with my browser).
Part of the series on  
World   
architecture
 
There could be a small, graphic "shortcut" box at the top right corner of all articles that has a # link to the template in a specified section of the article (eg. "References"). This would provide a consistent icon at the top of the articles to identify it briefly as part of a series. See example (to replace the existing template & create new Template:World-Arch for the World Architecture Series infobox). Dogears 17:21, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Suggested format changes: comments? Dogears 19:03, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah - I prefer that --Mcginnly | Natter 16:39, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other notable architecture articles for possible inclusion

I'm doing a systematic search of architecture articles - at worst we can add some of these to the list of topics on the portal

[edit] Sorted list and new template


City - feature the articles and fit them in the category tree well
Historical - put these in the/a history infobox
added to template

Another option, with additions. Ready to upload without any objections. Dogears (talk · contribs) 02:56, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Could you clarify what "feature the articles and fit them in the category tree well " means. Feature them where - get them to FA status? does the second bit mean find a good location for them within the category structure? Cheers. --Mcginnly | Natter 10:40, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Someones done it already - sort of

I just found this. --Mcginnly | Natter 09:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

So maybe we just do this.....
