[edit] Esperanto Template

I would like to propose a template to coordinate all of the Esperanto series of articles. I have put it at Template:Esperanto, and it looks like this:

Esperanto topics
This article is part of the Esperanto series

History | Zamenhof | Proto-Esperanto | "Unua Libro" | Declaration of Boulogne | "Fundamento" | Prague Manifesto
Culture and media

Any comments, criticisms?

A couple people have objected that 'pronunciation' is not a real article, and should be merged. Also, there's the pros & cons article, Esperanto as an international language, which needs work, but perhaps should be included (probably under a different title). Other than that, looks good. kwami 00:05, 2005 July 15 (UTC)

Zamenhof probably should moved from the title box into the history line. --Gabriel Beecham/Kwekubo 00:53, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Just a thought - what about linking the "Language:" caption to the main Eo article, the way History and Culture are, so that the main "Esperanto" caption is link free? That might fit in a little better with standard Wikipedia formatting, since section headings are not supposed to contain links. kwami 01:21, 2005 July 15 (UTC)

I made all of the above changes, but I think we should leave "Pronunciation" until it is no longer an article. --[[User:JonMoore|—JonMoore 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)]] 01:27, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

No "Criticisms" link? kwami

Yes, under "Pros and cons". I thought of it after I wrote the post :-) --[[User:JonMoore|—JonMoore 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)]] 01:42, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Hm, kinda lost where it is, and 'Criticism' might be a more intelligible title (it sounds like 'pros and cons of grammar' where it is now), but I'm not sure it deserves first billing of all the subarticles, which is where the spelling 'Criticism' would end up. Maybe add 'Criticism' to a forth row, or in the third row, but in the bold font that 'Culture' gets? That is, make it a 4th category, but combine the 3rd and 4th categories in the 3rd row, since they're shorter than the other two? kwami

Ok, how does that look? With this particular template's format, its hard to make a seperate category, without it going on a seperate line. That's not to say we can't alter the format. And of course, as always you are welcome to fiddle with the template :) --[[User:JonMoore|—JonMoore 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)]] 03:16, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Looks good! kwami

Okay, I fiddled! Added a bunch of criticism links (Ido, Eo vs. IL, Educ. value, riism), plus organizations (UEA, UK, TEJO, pen pal & hospitality clubs), plus Unua Libro and native speakers. I'll understand if you think it's too cluttered, but I thought these would all be of interest. Except maybe riism, which is rather provincial, and was added mainly to balance the length of the lines. kwami 22:44, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I like the new format. kwami 22:59, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
