[edit] Convert to standard navbox

I think this template should be converted to use the standard navbox template, then moved to the bottom of the relevant articles. I see two ways to do this, either:

Option #1:

v • d • e Washington State Ferries Jumbo Mark II Class M/V Puyallup  · M/V Tacoma  · M/V Wenatchee Jumbo Class M/V Spokane  · M/V Walla Walla Super Class M/V Elwha  · M/V Hyak  · M/V Kaleetan  · M/V Yakima Issaquah 130 Class M/V Cathlamet  · M/V Chelan  · M/V Issaquah  · M/V Kitsap  · M/V Kittitas Issaquah 100 Class M/V Sealth Evergreen State Class M/V Evergreen State  · M/V Klahowya  · M/V Tillikum Steel Electric Class M/V Illahee  · M/V Klickitat  · M/V Nisqually  · M/V Quinault Rhododendron Class M/V Rhododendron Hiyu Class M/V Hiyu Passenger-Only Fast Ferry Class M/V Chinook  · M/V Snohomish Skagit/Kalama Class M/V Kalama  · M/V Skagit Non-classed ferries Martha S.

... or option #2:

v • d • e Washington State Ferries Jumbo Mark II Class • Jumbo Class • Super Class • Issaquah 130 Class • Issaquah 100 Class • Evergreen State Class • Steel Electric Class • Rhododendron Class • Hiyu Class • Passenger-Only Fast Ferry Class • Skagit/Kalama Class

The advantage of the first option is that it could also be used as a navbox for the individual ferry articles as well; but, it ends up being a very tall navbox when not collapsed. While the second option is more comparable to the current structure.

Does anyone have a preference on which of these should be used? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:48, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

As a possinble option #3 (or #2.5), you could use #2 for the class articles, and then make separate navboxes for each class. This would result in smaller boxes which might look nicer, but a fairly large number of separate navboxes. Overall I) think I'd go for #1 as it is the most informative, even if it is quite big. -- Kjet (talk · contribs) 11:44, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I actually prefer the first option as well. I'll go ahead and make the change, and update the linked articles. If anyone prefers the second, it can easilly be changed down to that later. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:20, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
