Forum:Collapsible family navboxes

Forums: Index → Community discussions → Collapsible family navboxes | Post

Hiya,

I've been thinking if we can replace the family navboxes into a collapsible one. If you don't know yet, most, if not all, family navboxes are in wikitext complete with markup and everything, which can be a huge eyesore and annoying to edit.

I think what we can do is to replace the wikitext with {{Navbox}}, which not just make the navboxes collapsible, but also easier to edit as there are less markups to deal with. I made a basic example which you can see here. What do you think? EpicJoyBoy ^{(My talk page!)} 04:48, August 16, 2014 (UTC)

For sake of clarity, are you suggesting that we use {{Navbox}} to make family templates? So, instead of having {{Landgraab Family}} as it appears now, we would make it look like your example? -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 05:26, August 16, 2014 (UTC)

I guess I didn't make it clear enough, but to answer your question, yes. I think using {{Navbox}} for family navboxes wouldn't just make it collapsible, but also make things more streamlined. It isn't fully fleshed out yet, but the example template is well, an example.

I'm not sure where the wikitext customization go into the template, though, but I'm quite sure the end result would be at least similar to what we're seeing now. EpicJoyBoy ^{(My talk page!)} 06:33, August 16, 2014 (UTC)
