Steve-o: new ideas

2007-06-17T00:11:18Z

new ideas

New page

This nav-template is way too busy. It shouldn't link to every single part of the franchise. The navs for other franchises don't. Only the big stuff. Which would be... uh... the movie. Maybe the Sector 7 ARG. I wouldn't be opposed to having a centralized movie-tie-in-websites article that the nav template could link to. But, like, the card games don't belong here. The video games... probably don't either. I think the largest this list should be is "toyline, film, books, comics, websites, games". And that's already too long. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 22:48, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

:The nav-template badly disfigures the pages it appears on. Those pages should have pretty pictures at the top, but they CAN'T because there's a giant nav box there. A nav template should be laid out horizontally at the bottom of a page, like Wikipedia does it. -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 22:51, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

::Full agreement with the "horizontal at the bottom" part. (You mom is also often horizontal on her bottom.) It's real easy to hit the "end" key. This also helps alleviate the "length" issue. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 23:10, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

::::I wish to point out at this point that Steve-o designed the thing, not me.
::::<nowiki>*ducks out of the way*</nowiki> -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 23:11, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

::I too agree with the Wikipedia-style navigation. Alternatively, I propose that, for the purpose of shortening this list, the comic books can fall under "books". This is moot if we do the Wikipedia-style navigation, because lengthening the nav-template wouldn't push down anything but itself and the overall page length. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 14:54, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

:::Can anyone link to an example of wiki-style navigation? -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 15:06, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
::::Wikipedia is fond of [[wikipedia:Template:Arcade Fire|absurdly huge ones]], generally. But I think something [[wikipedia:Template:Mario series|like this]] is in line with what people here were suggesting. But it's also completely possible to have one that has the same insane amount of information that our current one has, sectioned off into segments, that [[wikipedia:Template:Star Trek|isn't too unwieldly.]] --[[User:Suki Brits|Suki Brits]] 15:57, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
