thread_title:  We need a collapsible box here 

message: Hello,
Prior to any discussion, the template must be reverted to its Aug 8th version, since it is the only stable one, and that no consensus was found for the current version in use, which was imopsed by  before seeking for a consensus.
The last proposal is, imho, a good basis to work on, but there are no collapsible lists and I see no problem about the coat of arms since many "History Of" templates use the current coat of arms to illustrate it.
I will work on adding collapsible boxes and I will then make a proposal ; I hope that the IP contributor will be back to discuss it.

thread_title:  Prior to any discussion... 

message: Hello,
I was trying to make a new template, based on the one made by the IP contributor ; however I found that there is a big problem: The lists are not automatically expanded while active. 
This why I think that a "compact" template without collapsible lists is more appropriate than the current one (which looks really bad), except if anyone can put sth that makes it auto-expanding.
Btw, I'm asking to discuss these changes again since they were made without any consensus, and to have a template based on the Region history template code, as are most "History of" templates on WP:  there is a standardized template model for that, we don't have to make a non-standardized one for Morocco ; you can browse all "History of" templates listes, for example, on the Template:History of Europe templates, Template:History of Asia templates, Template:History of Africa templates and Template:History of Oceania templates, curiously only the templates made by Dzlinker don't follow the standard.
Then, any template must be based on the previously cited model of "Region history" templates.

replies: text: I don't think they can auto-expand, never seen it on any template here. The majority of country history templates use ; which is not collapsed. But since the majority of Morocco's history article aren't that big the template is often cumbersome. Hence making it collapsible, shortening its content or even better expanding the articles are all potentially good ideas --Tachfin (talk) 18:02, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Collapsible list... but? 

message: Hi!, I eliminate religioso part of template because it`s about history, not "History of Religion in Morocco", and I add another country and cultures that I found it in a book of University of Leiden. Thanks!.83.36.37.144 (talk) 14:25, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Religion are nor part 

message: So....what's the current status of the template question? There were some good proposals on making it collapsible (which I feel is quite necessary).  But a few criticisms here and there, and the whole thing seems to have petered out. I'd still like to see it happen, so any chance of reviving this question and settling on an adequate template?

message: A consensus was made long time ago about this matter. A hard headed user (OmarToon) is making this difficult for every one.
For the reasons below, i think the template should use drop-down menus - Dzlinker (talk).
* Template Larger than almost all pages were it's used eg:
** Postage_stamps_and_postal_history_of_Morocco
** Republicanism_in_Morocco
** Hassan_II_of_Morocco
** Imperial_cities_of_Morocco
** Ismail_Ibn_Sharif
** Abderrahmane of Morocco
** Al-Rashid of Morocco
** ...
* This template is very hard to read and to navigate into
* ...

message: This template gives links to non existing articles. In fact:
* As there is no article relative to the kingdom of Marakech, the template uses the one related to the city of Marakech which is false. A dedicated article should be created. Despite the fact that the article Marrakech contains some history of the city and its region, it is not specific to that kingdom…
* The same thing is noticed for the Imamate of Souss (or Sous): no article about this political entity so the template uses the one related to the region of Sous…
* The template mentions ‘’The kingdom of sous’’ with direct link to the article relative to the region of Sous, is there any repetition here? Is the Imamate of Sous = The kingdom of Sous?
