Template talk:Navbox Tabs

Application
I'm going to hold off on applying this to any more navigation templates. Reasons for this are: looking for and fixing any more bugs in it, waiting to see how it's recieved by the ZW membership, and any more ideas on how to make it look better. I previously updated a minor navigation template that isn't too obtrusive to have a working example to showcase the layout. It can be found at Template:Shields. It shows how it works and how it simplfies the layout. The main reason I was motivated for this is the recent movement on Zelda Wiki to revamp and lay down, in writing, standards for article layout, among them was a desire to give all articles a fluid layout that does not overwhelm the reader with too much information at once (i.e. no walls of text). Naturally this extends to anything displayed on articles including navigation templates. I preferred this way over the standard hide template method that most wikis use because I didn't find it to be unique and creative enough and I didn't think it was the most effective system. For now this is only for the monobook skin, and for the most part everything is the same as it is in the previous layout visually speaking besides the amount of content. This currently has a show/hide link in it, but I'm considering removing it because I think it might cause too many bugs. 03:56, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * We brought this up in the Skype chat and I'll put it here too. We've found an excellent solution to the problem of having the tabs work correctly It can be found at OpenWetWare:Toggle. Hopefully we can get this set up soon and after that I'll get to work on applying it to this template. 05:26, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * First, I love that I'm talking to myself. Second, the new toggle scripts are absolutely beautiful. And they work great. But we still have a problem with Google Chrome not loading our scripts correctly and this script, is unfortunately, subject to it. And because of that it doesn't work on Chrome. This has nothing to do with this template or those scripts. It's a bug that has existed on our server since a previous server move and it'd have to be fixed on the server end and not here. The Chrome bug is out of my hands. Sorry people. I'll poke the powers that be into looking into the bug. 03:56, March 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * The chrome bug has been resolved. It should be good to go now. Great work, Matt. 07:40, 15 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Yeah it was a broken script that was added the same day as that server move. The main thing this needs now is to prune away the leftovers from the original version that are no longer relevant and an efficient way to have more tabs. 13:19, March 15, 2011 (UTC)
