Template talk:WMF-navigation

I reverted the current modifications because of

its ineffectively huge size
mutant logo - logo will be okay (though I don't understand its necessity) but it is not okay it covers and hide texts ; and logo which is not the foundation logo is a bad idea.
lack of most useful links; we need them.

Shortly, the latest changes aren't totally unacceptable.

Any attempt to useful modification will be appreciated. --Aphaia ++ 01:30, 21 August 2005 (UTC)Antwort

Aphaia, the large logo was the asspuss vandal - not my work!

The template was reduced in size to make it easier to view and use - it now only lists the major sections.

Each sub-section (Board, Departments, Press etc) now have their own navigation templates, which allow navigation between those pages and then also back to the main meta WMF page.

This was done after several complaints on how hard it is to find things here - this should make it considerably easier! Dan100 09:20, 21 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

As for logo, okay I accept your explanation. Before discussion I would like you to apologize me for your unfair accusation on my "personal" attack to you. I don't want to walk with anyone who is rude, specially people who has no ears to others complaint and labelled their opponents so fast and silly. Here I say briefly my view is in opposition to you. I don't welcome your changes and want to template as such which allows us to reach every important page with only one hop. No redundancy is welcome. --Aphaia ++ 09:32, 21 August 2005 (UTC)Antwort

(Moved from my talk page Dan100) Okay, NOW I see what you've done here. That's even a pretty good idea... I like it. But if it wouldn't be for your explaination, I wouldn't even know that you're making submenus for each section. Once again, please, list on Template:Wikimedia what changes are you exactly doing, so Aphaia will be aware of them. I'm sure she'll understand, if you'll show her exactly what have you done so far, and how does it look. Datrio 09:05, 21 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Dan's version is less useful. Pages like Board of Trustees no longer link to anything else Wikimedia related, only to Board-related issues, meaning I can't get from a Board page to a local chapters page, whereas with Aphaia's version I could do. Angela 09:35, 21 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Angela, when people come here they're often looking for specific information quickly, and don't want to get lost in the spider's web of old tangled pages the current template lists. It might be good for you, someone who's been here since forever, but try to think like a newbie. Dan100 09:41, 21 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

As I said on Datrio's page, I also think the longer version is much more useful, since our main problem is people being able to find information. We could possibly simplify a little bit by removing some links which are now less useful that a couple of months ago (example : elections). But generally, I really prefer the longer version. Which links do you think are not *really* important right now ? Anthere 09:42, 21 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
