We have quite many different navigation templates on this wiki, and all seem to be created from scratch every time. The result is a template list like at the end of the [[Dry Bones]] article. Templates with different sizes, colors and what not, which don't match with each other at all and are lined up in any random fashion. It simply looks ugly. I think we should go for a single template scheme for at least related templates (like SSB Characters, Stages, Items, etc.), and make everything collapsible. On Wikipedia templates, it is possible to give templates a parameter as to whether they are hidden or shown on the page. This could be used to make templates always visible on pages who only have one, but not on one who has twenty. The current style is just chaos. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 08:51, 30 March 2008 (EDT) | We have quite many different navigation templates on this wiki, and all seem to be created from scratch every time.

:Yeah, you're right about that. (And since I've made a lot of navigation templates lately, I take a lot of blame). Templates shouldn't be random colors thrown together. "Ghostwhite" and "whitesmoke" are probably the best link backgrounds, and the best label backgrounds are probably "lightskyblue", "steelblue", "tomato", and " | :Yeah, you're right about that.

"Ghostwhite" and "whitesmoke" are probably the best link backgrounds, and the best label backgrounds are probably "lightskyblue", "steelblue", "tomato", and "darkgray". Also, the templates at the bottom of a page should be arranged according to size. Example: | ||

:The Stub Template should always be at the top of end-of-page templates. Then, small nav. templates would go next. If a template has a "showhide" on it, then it only takes up a certain amount of lines. The wider and deeper a template gets, the farther down it should be. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig|Sorry if I've made a lot of mistakes. :(}} | :The Stub Template should always be at the top of end-of-page templates.
