[edit] Navigation

On WP:MOSDASH I've moved Template:Style (edit talk links history) to the bottom of the page into a new section. The output of this template is nice and useful, but at the top of the page it obfuscates the lead section and ToC. It's painful to scroll down many lines before the main article appears.

A simple align="right" didn't work as expected. To get a floating right effect (e.g. together with the ToC) {{Wrapper}} might do the trick. Omniplex  16:32, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Redesign

If we're going to redesign it, can we change it to CSS instead of tables for layout at the same time? -Quiddity 22:41, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Additions?

Should I add the other Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Submanuals that aren't listed here yet? --Quiddity 04:32, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Done, and a few more fixes. Revert if its new length breaks anything. —Quiddity 21:05, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

How about Wikipedia:Summary style? - jc37 11:48, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Done. --Quiddity 18:05, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

And I have now added Infoboxes Frelke 12:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Should Wikipedia:Record charts be added? This list keeps getting longer... what if we start to merge some pages (e.g. Wikipedia:Record charts with Wikipedia:Manual of Style (music))? It's not really a problem belonging to this specific template, which is just a result of the underlying problem of too many guidelines on too many pages... it makes it hard to find certain information. -Rocket000 19:02, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Related to specific culture

I've moved all the "ThisCountry-related articles" to a COMMON sub-section. I think it doesn't matter that some of them are policies and other guides, because there is no clash for any country, i.e. there is no policy about France and guide about France. Furthermore, I propose splitting them to a completely different template. I think that some more over-specific links should join, like Chemistry, Math, etc. Let's leave only very general and very basic stuff here. Comments? --Kubanczyk (talk) 18:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
