Forum:SH Archive/Navigation templates

Navigation templates are, to be honest, something we probably don't use enough of. Categories are all well and good up to a point, but there are instances where a navigation template provides a more beneficial overview. From an OOU perspective, we've already got some really well-done templates for products like Shadows of the Empire, but I was thinking, with the abundance of ancillary materials "tethered" to each film of the Star Wars saga, it might be beneficial to have such a template for each "Episode" (especially with the advent of VII).

I've mocked up an example of what the TPM one would look like here:

I'm not overly good at this sort of thing and I welcome anyone more savvy to try their hand at duding it up a tad if needs be, but I think you get the gist of it. Basically my criteria for inclusion was twofold - thanks to a terrific list from Bob, we have all the adaptations or partial adaptations, and anything branded as "Episode I". Not included are products that adapt several films&mdash;in these cases (like Galactic Battlegrounds or some of the LEGO games) it would be more suitable to have templates for each trilogy, or the six-film saga at large, IMO anyway.

This isn't comprehensive in its current incarnation either - I realised that there are a whole lot of DVD featurettes and docos that we should have coverage of as well but don't, so it would likely be engorged again, but this is the basic idea. Just wondering what people's thoughts would be on implementing such a thing. Thefourdotelipsis (talk) 02:52, October 22, 2013 (UTC)
