I've been contemplating a 'tabbed' version of a template. Where the top row has links to Areas, Mobs, Rooms, Gear, or whatever (the tabs), and below that it displays the information of any one of those that is relative to this page. It'd need a template for every different 'tab'. It'd be like this:
−
|+ <big>'''[[:Category:Areas|Area]] Quick-Links Table'''</big>

  Page A (area page):
−

And so on. It'd require a revamp of all templates, but it might be something to consider. I won't put much effort in this since it's probably not the best option, anyway. So far I like the slim one best. --[[User:MooNFisH|Llanor]] 12:25, 12 February 2007 (CST)

I mean, I didn't like the big ''Grandfathered'' at the rightmost side of the table. And since I made it a bit less wide, I thought I'd compensate for that. --[[User:MooNFisH|Llanor]] 05:09, 8 February 2007 (CST)

This table doesn't necessarily have to include every category.  I'm wondering if Grandfathered stuff would best be included in this table or if it would be best left off.  What do you think?  --[[User:DaveGarber1975|Dave Garber]] 15:30, 8 February 2007 (CST)
 
−

The first one. And I don't think grandfathered gear needs to be in quick links, since it probably isn't a very frequented category.--[[User:Neyne|Neyne]] 18:17, 8 February 2007 (CST)
 
−
 
 
−
:I like the third one, out of the 4 total. But with a minor change, we should lose the bold fond on 'Maps'. And the link in the header can be taken out, since it's in the first column already. Aside from those two minor things, it's perfect. --[[User:MooNFisH|Llanor]] 18:47, 8 February 2007 (CST)

::Ah, okay.  True, it is a bit redundant to have two links; but it does make it consistent with the other tables.  Also, what's wrong with the bold?  --[[User:DaveGarber1975|Dave Garber]] 18:56, 8 February 2007 (CST)
 
−

:::I just figured, for consistency, that the bold should only be used for group indicators, like in the leftmost column. But I suppose it looks alright, I won't be nitpicking endlessly about such things. And you're right on the consistency on that part. --[[User:MooNFisH|Llanor]] 19:12, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Latest revision as of 15:33, 15 February 2007

Cleanup! Now using the small one.

I've been contemplating a 'tabbed' version of a template. Where the top row has links to Areas, Mobs, Rooms, Gear, or whatever (the tabs), and below that it displays the information of any one of those that is relative to this page. It'd need a template for every different 'tab'. It'd be like this: 

Page A (area page):
|------------------------------------|
| Areas | Gear | Maps | Mobs | Rooms | 
|       '----------------------------|
|          (area links)              |
|------------------------------------|

Page B (gear page):
|------------------------------------|
| Areas | Gear | Maps | Mobs | Rooms | 
|-------'      '---------------------|
|          (gear links)              |
|------------------------------------|

And so on. It'd require a revamp of all templates, but it might be something to consider. I won't put much effort in this since it's probably not the best option, anyway. So far I like the slim one best. --Llanor 12:25, 12 February 2007 (CST)

I like the current one best, myself. The only think that I might change about it is adding the Gear, Mobs, and Rooms category links, something like this...
