| - | :We could (shudder) copy what Wikipedia does for insanely large templates (sampled [[Wikipedia:Template:Tmbg|here]]) and break it up to episodes (already done) and put the episode names in a column on the left. Or we could be more selective about the articles we put on the template. Either way, I'm not entirely sure that this template really needs it. If there's a second season, that's a different matter. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 01:48, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

| |
| - | Well, scratch that last part on my previous post (yes, as 69.150.85.66), we could use parser functions for that. However, I think it might be best to have the template cover everything as it does now. Here's what the entire navbox would look like if we went with a more horizontal layout:

| - | I decided to take on Bad Bad Guy's advice; the entire thing is a little cluttered so it helps to make things bold. I will now go on to size comparisons to see what the size differences are in a couple of browsers. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 17:18, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
| |
| - | : You made a slight mistake, which I fixed, but I admit it's easier to read. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:40, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
| |
| - | ::Edit conflict'd! I took some screenshots (before you fixed my mistake, but fortunately, it did not change the size), and now I have the (unnecessarily detailed) stats! The current template is 704px by 663px (with an area of 466,752px<sup>2</sup>). This one is 841px by 499px (with an area of 419,659px<sup>2</sup>). The height difference is -164px (75.2% of the current template), while the width difference is +137px (119.46% of the current template). The area difference is -27,093px<sup>2</sup>, so that's '''10.1% less space''' than the current template (89.91% of the current template). {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 17:58, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

| - | :::I do like the horizontal layout. By far, SBCG4AP is the largest template on the site (since there are so many related links). Also, I want to echo the suggestion above that we should consider having the option to collapse the template, like Wikipedia does. A couple other templates ([[:Template:CheatCommandos]], [[:Template:VidelectrixGames]] and [[:Template:Limozeen]] come to mind) could also benefit from having the collapse option, especially when they get stacked on a single page. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 18:03, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

| |
| - | :::::Actually, Wbwolf has a good idea. [[Wikipedia:Help:Collapsing|From what it looks like]] (briefly, I ''must'' get on to other things), we'd need to nest tables. Also, it'd be cool to get a ParserFunction in there that would auto collapse all of the <s>rows</s> nested tables besides the episode the article is related to! {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 18:21, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
| |
| - | ::::::Wow, it sure has been a while since this has been discussed. Does anyone prefer a collapsible version, or does mine work? The only problem I have with mine is screen space. Contemporary monitors shouldn't have a problem, of course, but I'm considered about our 1204x768 brethren. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 21:15, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
| |
| - | Well, I put my stick in the ground and converted this navbox, along the with the ones you mentioned, wbwolf. Good choices, too, because they really needed it. I went over the other navigation templates and found them easy to follow for the most part, so I don't think any more need my advanced services, heheh. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 00:31, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
