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)
Discussion
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.
