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 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...

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)

Ah!  Yeah, I can understand that.  My thoughts are either (1) to experiment with your suggestion above a bit more and to submit a third proposal that may be even better than both of ours above or (2) to eliminate the rightmost column of my first proposal entirely like this...

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)

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...

Area Quick-Links Table
Areas: 01-10 11-20 21-30 31-40 41-50 Hero Maps Mobs Objects Rooms

IMHO, that's too wide. Not everyone uses a high res as we probably do. We should leave it as it is now. --Llanor 07:33, 15 February 2007 (CST)
