Hi,

I've created Category:Navigational_bars that contains following pages:
Template:News nav
Template:Portal nav
Template:Software portal nav
Template:Socnet nav
Template:Template nav
Template:Wiki guidelines nav
Template:Wireless nav

Category:Navigational_bars is subcategory of
Category:Navigational_templates, which ATM contains only
Template:Navbar.

Rajko, you mentioned Category:Templates, which does not exist yet. Do
you think we should create this category and then organize all
templates into subcategories of this Category? It sounds like a good
idea IMHO, but I'd like to be sure I got your point right before
working on it.

Next, there are templates Education_content and Buildservice_content.
Two questions/points: 
1) do we want these vertical navboxes in the wiki.o.o as an
alternative to horizontal navbars? [1] does not look very nice (at
least in my FF)...

2) if we want to keep them, I'd suggest to rename them to
Template:{Buildservice,Educational}_navbox, put into
Category:Navigational_navboxes. Then, it would make sense also to
rename Template:*_nav to Template:*_navbar.


Comments?

Thanks.
