[edit] Template Design Proposal

I have recently designed a template using Template:Studio60 as a guide. In my opinion this new template layout and design is more functional and has better aesthetics. A copy of the template is below:

THE OC
EPISODES   |   CATEGORY   |   BROADCASTERS  |   SONGS  |   WEBSITE
Primary Characters	Ryan Atwood | Kirsten Cohen | Sandy Cohen | Seth Cohen Jimmy Cooper | Julie Cooper | Kaitlin Cooper | Marissa Cooper Caleb Nichol | Summer Roberts | Taylor Townsend | Luke Ward
Secondary Characters	Dawn Atwood | Frank Atwood | Trey Atwood | Lance Baldwin | Rebecca Bloom Carter Buckley | Gordon Bullit | Reed Carlson | Sophie Cohen Theresa Diaz | Holly Fischer | Lindsay Gardner | Johnny Harper | Alex Kelly Charlotte Morgan | Hailey Nichol | Neil Roberts | Anna Stern | Zach Stevens Veronica Townsend | Oliver Trask | Kevin Volchok
Places	Newport Beach | Orange County | Chino | Berkeley
Music	Mix 1 | Mix 2 | Mix 3 | Mix 4 | Mix 5 | Mix 6
Key Creators	Josh Schwartz | McG | Stephanie Savage
view • talk • edit

I have added a Music section, and Key Creators section, and I've also added the Category and Songs article as links in the navigational header of the template. There are also a "view • talk • edit" link section. I hope you like it, and please reply with your thoughts below. Stickeylabel 09:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey! I just noticed this. It looks great. I actually did the Studio 60 template design and am plesed that it was liked enough to be emulated. Nice work.

Yes, I agree. I really like it. :) I looked at it for about 10 minutes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.216.64.18 (talk) 07:49, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Converting to navbox

Almost all navboxes have been standarised. I suggest we convert the template to something like this:

v • d • e The O.C. Episodes  • Website Primary characters Ryan Atwood  • Marissa Cooper  • Seth Cohen  • Summer Roberts  • Sandy Cohen  • Kirsten Cohen  • Julie Cooper  • Jimmy Cooper  • Taylor Townsend  • Kaitlin Cooper  • Caleb Nichol  • Luke Ward Secondary characters Alex Kelly  • Anna Stern • Dawn Atwood  • Frank Atwood  • Trey Atwood  • Carter Buckley  • Gordon Bullit  • Sophie Cohen  • Theresa Diaz  • Holly Fischer  • Lindsay Gardner  • Johnny Harper  • Charlotte Morgan  • Hailey Nichol  • Neil Roberts  • Kevin Volchok  • Zach Stevens  • Veronica Townsend  • Oliver Trask  • Rebecca Bloom Locations Newport  • Orange County  • Chino  • Berkeley  • Brown Music Mix 1  • Mix 2  • Mix 3  • Mix 4  • Mix 5  • Mix 6 Related Chrismukkah Key producers Josh Schwartz  • McG  • Stephanie Savage  • Allan Heinberg

Sadly I agree. THOUGH I think it would be possible to just add a [hide/show] button, make the template's width 90%, and perhaps change "The OC" font... so when it is closed it looks just like standard navboxes. I'd hate to lose all that formatting, it looks awesome the way it is. I suggest making it look like a navbox when closed, and keep all of the formatting inside basically the same way it is now._{TIM KLOSKE|TALK} 17:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
