[edit] Other WMF Projects

I'm going to fool around with Div tags tonight and see if I can make a small, unobtrusive way of displaying AE-related projects we can tackle on other WMF Projects like Wikisource, Commons and Wikibooks. I hate having sections that users must scroll past for five minutes to skip, so encourage you to help me "minimise" the visibility/irritation of the list when it's prepared by editing the Div tags and playing around with the format.Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 19:15, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Header vs. Sidebar

WikiProject Alternative education

I'm not sure what people prefer, a header or sidebar for project navigation. Personally I feel the sidebar has a few too many links right now (Portal:Education, Deletion sorting) that could be placed elsewhere in the project, without being necessary parts of "Project navigation", while the header provides simply the navigation around the project itself. On the other hand, the sidebar is able to use the "cute" books icon, which is more of a bonus than I'd like to admit, in my eyes. Mostly I prefer horizontal headers because I feel they "take up less room" and help reduce clutter on the page - but I welcome other opinions on the benefits/drawbacks of both models.

You can see both in use at Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative education/list for the header and Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative education/Assessment for the sidebar.

Can we somehow merge the two? Which style is best from which to build? Other thoughts? Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 17:43, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I actually like the sidebar on the Project mainpage, but the header on all other parts. The sidebar works well to navigate people from the project mainpage, but has too much information to be used in the assessment department, where a header would be more appropriate.

[edit] Who belongs to what?

Well, I guess I came into the discussion awfully late. For The Record, let me state that it seems obvious to me that Homeschooling is a subset of Alternative Education (as are Montessori, full immersion, and several other systems), and that it was kinda silly to propose that Alternative Education be made a subset of Homeschooling. Anyway, I'm here now, but I shouldn't be, I'm actually on a Wikibreak. I will return to see how I can help in about five weeks. Cheers! Unschool (talk) 06:33, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

It does to most i think. Realistically, homeschooling should up-merge, a project with 70 articles isnt much of a project. Anyway, its really good to see new members. Welcome aboard :) Twenty Years 16:18, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
