[opensuse-wiki] Navbox templates

Hi, all, Based on the idea of Wikipedia's "navboxes", or navigation boxes that you see at the bottom of pages, I started doing a couple similar ones for our wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/Template:GNOME_Navbox http://en.opensuse.org/Template:KDE_Navbox I already included the GNOME one in a bunch of GNOME-related pages. I didn't do the same for the KDE one as, well, that's not really my territory and I'm not terribly familiar with the structure of KDE's pages. I do hope that the KDE team fixes any screw-ups that I may have made in the navbox, and decides to include it in their own pages. Anyway... it would be useful to have this topic-specific navigation for major areas of the wiki. I'd love to have something similar for the YaST hierarchy, which is pretty big, for example.

Btw. Is there a place in the wiki that explains all the Templates? Not just lists but also explains when and where to use them?

I like the idea - great work! AJ,

Not yet (at least not to my knowledge). We're going to explain the Usage of certain Templates in the Guidelines though - we'll discuss this in the Wiki Meeting today. A seperate page explaining the Usage of all the Templates and then linked from the Guidelines would be desirable. Thanks for your input.

I created that kind of pages for HU long time ago. http://hu.opensuse.org/Seg%C3%ADts%C3%A9g http://hu.opensuse.org/Seg%C3%ADts%C3%A9g:Sablonok you can use this structure, design if you want or let me know if you need help to implement it. best, kalman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
