Directors templates
Hello. Would you like to take a look at my reply at User_talk:Commander_Keane#Director_templates about this subject? The JPS 15:53, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
- Agree 100% on director template, but do not agree on you comment on shark template, sure IF we ever get over 100 shark articles then we can start to change, but as it is now, this template makes it much easier for non wikipeda experts to find other shark articles. Think we should have a general discussion about nav templates, but do not know where to do it and do nto have enough time to follow up. Stefan 01:44, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, some tools (such as categories) are only easy to use if you know that they are there, and we must remember that we are collaborating to create material for a wider readership than those of us who know the intricies of wikipedia. I'm not bothered about the Shark template, but the vote doesn't appear close enough that wihdrawing mine would make much difference. My main reasoning is that directors templates provide the essential chronological order, which categories cannot achieve. The shark template lists them in alphabetical order, which is achievable by categorisation... The JPS 01:53, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
- Agree, categories have many very nice features, but for navigational purposes they suck! For occasional wiki users, you need a one click link, not multiple links. I know the shark template is lost, I can not understand, true there are 350+ sharks, but there is hardly enough know about 40 of them to write more than stubs, the argument that there will be 350 of them is not a good one, how many sharks can you name that is not in the box? it took almost one year to increase the number of sharks in that box by 16, wonder how many new articles that is not stubs we can make in the next year, I would doubt that we can make 10 more, better to fix the once we have with more meat. Nevermind, I guess my next task in wikiland is to make a nice list :-) Stefan 02:41, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
