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.User:Matt/sig 03:56, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
