Forum:Toggle Feature

Toggling on the images topic is getting burried when other uses for it are not being suggested. Rather then let alternative uses for it get lost, I decided to start it up here seperate so we can clear what fors and what nots we would use it for. As MF pointed out, using it for images often causes arguments, and has already caused enough as it is. Can we use it for anything else?

However, in all due respects to everyone, if images is just the tip of the iceberg on uses, then retiring it before we've had a full proper discussion simply isn't fair. I myself am beginning to admit, applied in the right area toggling IS an advantage, however I still stand by a very limited use for toggling for images sake.

Heres what I prepose; we discuss, we decide and then a "toggle guideline" is drawn up to give editors a rough idea on wheat the community would prefer, similaur to how we have a polling guideline when it was first introduced. However I do note I don't think we need a guideline for every little feature introduced, so I'm considering after this if anymore crops up we'll have to make a general editing guideline. Although I note, as this is "appearance" and not "site problems" I'd like this to be saved for another time.

So MF I know is getting annoyed with the toggle feature, kdom is now fanning out on what else can be used for it.... Anyone else want to add anything to the mix? 94.168.119.106 07:37, September 9, 2010 (UTC) (Hawk reporting, yeah this is my 15th day without my computer; PC world owes me a lot of explainations...)


 * All I can say is that the feature should really not be used for decor purposes. Making articles shorter by hiding certain text like history sections for example, is a good idea. It will make navigating articles easier for some. It just needs a proper setup that's all.


 * Using it for image presentation on the other hand is however gray depending on how it is used. At the very least, it is indeed annoying me. Wanting images for the reason "I like the manga better" is not a very good idea. It's kinda no different than arguing which image should be placed in a certain spot.Mugiwara Franky 08:56, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
