[edit] Navboxification

I understand the motivation to standardise templates using {{Navbox}}, but the existing formatting is customized to best present the information in a distinctive, space efficient and symmetrical manner. As a courtesy, can we propose large-scale changes here before implementing them? Thanks, Skomorokh 23:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Navbox1

Books Anarchy in the Age of Dinosaurs · Days of War, Nights of Love · Recipes for Disaster · The Secret World of Terijian · Expect Resistance Pamphlets Fighting For Our Lives Letters series Evasion · Off the Map · Rusty String Quartet · Stone Hotel Zines Inside Front · Rolling Thunder · Harbinger Videos Guerilla Film Series, Volume One Cells Curious George Brigade Campaigns Don't Just Vote, Get Active Bands Requiem · Ümlaut · Zegota

As is obvious, the navbox version more than doubles the size of the template and has severely underpopulated groups, while it is arguably less cluttered than the original. We could remove the number of groups and for example group all the published works as "Pubications", but that would dangerously obscure the radical differences between the different types of CrimethInc. publications in way that misleads the reader.

[edit] Navbox2

v • d • e CrimethInc. Books: Anarchy in the Age of Dinosaurs · Days of War, Nights of Love · Recipes for Disaster · The Secret World of Terijian · Expect Resistance • Pamphlets: Fighting For Our Lives Letters series: Evasion · Off the Map · Rusty String Quartet · Stone Hotel • Zines: Inside Front · Rolling Thunder · Harbinger • Videos: Guerilla Film Series, Volume One Cells: Curious George Brigade Campaigns: Don't Just Vote, Get Active • Bands: Requiem · Ümlaut · Zegota

This version satisfies Navbox standardisation demands without altering the original formatting. Clearly an improvement, but do we want to incorporate any changes from Navbox1 above? Skomorokh 02:30, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
