[edit] TFD

This template was nominated for deletion, but did not have consensus to delete. Thus it is kept. See Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/Not deleted/June 2005. However, given its sheer size it may be worth considering to split it or convert it to a list. Radiant_* 09:55, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Navigation

Out of interest, is there any reason this template doesn't make use of the Navigation template? --Dean Earley 16:31, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redesign proposal

I have created a new design for the template. It can be found below. The benifits of it over the current design are that it is collapsible, it has the v-d-e function, the layout is clearer and the template takes up less space on the page.

I would like to hear the thoughts of other people first, and have a consensus reached on whether it should be implemented. If you wish to make any changes to the design, then please make a copy of the template below, then modify it. This means the templates can be compared against each other.

I have also made similar proposals on the related templates here and here.

  • I think the change in layout is a good plan. However, I've taken the liberty of using more "standard" colours... the cyan was a bright and intrusive IMO. Tompw (talk) (review) 22:58, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Agree with Tompw about the colours, the DMU/EMU templates should be changed to match this one. Have also taken the liberty of adding non-breaking spaces, so that links do not appear across a line break. EdJogg 00:32, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
    • I have implemented the redesign following no objections --Jorvik 09:37, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
