Forum:CT Archive/Appearances template update

So the App template has been in use for some time now, and I think it could still use a bit of work. The biggest part of this discussion/vote is rather simple: make the various Appearances categories ===section headers=== or leave them as is? Personally, I think having the [edit] links per section was very handy before, and now, editing the entire appearances becomes rather cumbersome. It should be a simple template change - no bots or extra effort needed. Obviously, this would make the Table of Contents longer, as the sections being used (Characters, Locations, etc.) would be back in the TOC like they used to be.


 * Pros:
 * Individual section [edit] links will make editing much more convenient.
 * The longer TOC may help with some of the formatting issues we have experienced, by bumping the Appearances tables down a bit lower, hopefully below any infoboxes.
 * Cons:
 * Some people used to complain that TOCs were too long with Appearances sections listed.
 * TOC links that are clicked, like the links in the Appearances table, won't appear to do anything if the Appearances are hidden.

As usual, please don't add extra sections to the voting. —Xwing328 (Talk) 05:22, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Use section headers

Other suggestions
If you have any better ideas for this template, or just displaying appearances in general, please write something. It's still not as good as I would like. If somebody is better with JavaScript and can compile some code to make the section links work better with hiding/showing the Appearances, that would be awesome. —Xwing328 (Talk) 05:22, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
