Template talk:Dyslexia and specific developmental disorders

message: What is meant by the "Other conditions" line in this template?  How are any of these conditions supposed to be related to Dyslexia?  There is no connection between Tourette syndrome and dyslexia.  Please produce a peer-reviewed journal-cited indication of the reasoning behind any condition included on this template.  Where is the journal-published, peer-reviewed indication that Auditory Integration Training, for example, is an effective treatment for dyslexia?  Thank you.  It is unclear what this template is supposed to tie together and how any or all of these article relate to dyslexia. 209.247.22.113 21:43, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a navigational template, not part of the article.  The idea is to provide quick links to other related topics, partly so that people will not be tempted to include details about those things within the dyslexia topic itself.  Tourette's probably got added because it was on a list of language-based learning disorders somewhere.  "A navigational template is often a small list for use in several related articles, without the usual disadvantages of duplication; in particular, editing is done in a central place, the template page"see Wikipedia:Navigational templates.  In any case, I invited people to edit it when I created it --see Talk:Dyslexia#New_navigational_Template:Dyslexia. Maybe the template itself should be retitled to something broader.

thread_title:  Other conditions 

message: This is a Navigational template -- its function is to help users go to related topics -- so it is the appropriate place to include references to other topics that are NOT included within the main topic. Please do not remove the references to the articles about the alternative therapies.  You have made it clear that you have a personal bias against those therapies, but that is not a reason to remove them from a navigational array -- the whole purpose of this template is to avoid the need to discuss these items with the main article.
Please read Wikipedia:Navigational_templates to understand the function of this sort of template -- this is not something that is in one place but something that will end up on the bottom of many related articles.  Armarshall 12:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  To Piechjo 

message: Hi, Arm et al.  Take a look at a similar nav template I created at User:Rosmoran/navigation sandbox.  It is fairly narrow in scope, but does provide links to "larger" topic areas.  Let me know what you think.

thread_title:  Take a look at this model 

message: Hi,
I'm putting on the table for discussion a strawman navigation template for the dyslexia article series.  The idea behind this template is to provide a quick path for easy navigation to and among the dyslexia "child" articles, and to give readers a few links to key related topics.  
I absolutely expect this template to change in format, content, and possibly in scope, based on editorial discussions here and on the dyslexia template talk page.  
* Take a look at the strawman template here:  User:Rosmoran/navigation sandbox/proposed dyslexia nav box
* To see an approximation of what the dyslexia article would look like with this template inserted, go here: User:Rosmoran/navigation sandbox test article
In case you're interested in seeing how other projects have used navigation boxes, here are a few good examples:  
* Celtic music
* Classical guitar
* Music of the United States
* Template:Judaism
* Template:Antisemitism
* Template:JewishMusic
* Template:Neuropsychology
This is just a few --- there are lots of others.  
I'm looking forward to your ideas and feedback.
Best,

thread_title:  Proposed navigation template for the planned Dyslexia article series 

message: Hi, I have not heard any objections to my proposed version of the navigation template, so I'm going to implement it.  
We can always revise the content any time, of course.

thread_title:  Implementing navigation template 

message: Hi, folks.
Just a quick heads up.  I have missed some of your comments that appeared on Discussion pages related to my "strawman" personal pages.  For some reason, my Watchlist isn't showing me all the changes made to personal pages.  
If for some reason I have missed (or not implemented) a change you suggested for the Dyslexia navigation template, please don't think I'm ignoring it.  Assume that I haven't found it yet, and point me to where you left it!  
Maybe from here on out it would be best to leave comments here on the Template talk page.
Thanks for your patience,

thread_title:  Have missed some comments on the Dyslexia navigation template 

message: There is an extra parenthesis somewhere in the following (pre-listified source):
: Dyslexia( Developmental dyslexia) Dysgraphia (Disorder of written expression) Dyscalculia)
Please can someone say what was intended? --Mirokado (talk) 17:44, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
