Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Contents/Archive 2

message: I reorganized the whole page, including a name change, to make it easier to understand. I hope you like it. Please proofread the page - I've been staring at it for so many hours that I probably missed many obvious errors. --The Tipster 07:50, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm removing the top section, diff, per my agreement with LinaMishima's comment at Page name. Will discuss below that. --Quiddity·(talk) 01:31, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I think we should consider completely redesigning this page. It could be in any style from Portal:Browse to Help:Contents maybe, or combine it with elements of Wikipedia:Start? Are we doing one page which is completist, and one page (Start) for the timid? Are the sections all self-explanatory with a well-worded heading, or do they need to be explained per Nexus SevenTipster's cleanup additions? --Quiddity·(talk) 02:16, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm suggesting that all the Wikipedia namespace selfrefs don't belong here, that maybe the whole page could be better organized, and perhaps it's very purpose and intended audience needs to be examined. All of which should wait until the sidebar redesign is over. --Quiddity·(talk) 06:38, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup complete 

message: I added a border, header and background of the style at Wikipedia:Community Portal for Hue:330. There are similar styles at the other reference pages. I'm also going to put the "project" box  at the top of each of those talk pages to propose we discuss common substantive and look-and-feel topics here. Rfrisbietalk 22:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  References pages project 

message: I'm inclined to think that all the titles at the tops of the pages should match in size, but if the concensus is variety, I can live with that too. I'm going to change them all to H2 size (175%) (150%), which is the current size of this page's top header title, but feel free to change them again if you don't agree. --The Transhumanist 21:52, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: See Page layout style for my recommendations for the layout style of these pages. I've made changes to this, Lists of basic topics, List of academic disciplines, and Wikipedia:Quick index along these lines. Wikipedia:Community Portal uses H2 header titles, so I support that for all pages. Because CP puts intros in the header bar, I also did that here. Considering these pages range from nothing to multi-paragraph intros, I'm fine with putting intros under the TOC, where it exists. I also would like to have the remaining pages go with the general proposal, possibly adapting individual pages along variations on the theme. Rfrisbietalk 22:04, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Just going for a quick fix for now, bringing the pages closer together. I'll assist with further conversion as time allows. --The Transhumanist 22:13, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

text:  I've added a reply to #Page layout style, above. --The Transhumanist 22:24, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  H2 heading size as the standard for contents page titles? 

message: I believe all of the reference lists now have Level 3 headings, with the exception of Academic disciplines. For some reason, at least one of my browsers wasn't displaying the Level 2 line all the way across the page when an image was in the title. Now, it seems to be okay, but who knows? Does anyone else know of any H2 display problems with embedded images. Here's an example.  If it's not a problem, should we switch to H2 headings for the sections? If it's a yes, I'll go around and change them (eventually :-0). Rfrisbietalk 19:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Some of them were using style="border-bottom:0" to remove the underline, could that have been it? I don't see the problem at the diff provided (but I don't have IE6 either, so it might have been that?) --Quiddity 19:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What I saw sometimes was just the text underlined, but the line did not extend to the right margin. I assumed the zero border was to get rid of the "underline." So the question remains, H2 or H3? Rfrisbietalk 20:06, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, semantically they should be level 2, so yeah, feel free to change. :) --Quiddity 20:55, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Level 3 or Level 2 headers 

message: We also need to standardize on a list seperator/bullet. I'd prefer to go with the smaller bullet · as it's the least distracting and bulky, and is used throughout Wikipedia already (Main Page, Featured articles, etc). --Quiddity 20:55, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: • or · or – as seperators?
