Forum:Tabs on characters pages

Idea
Well after getting the hang of tabbing... You know I'm thinking, we have large character pages right? LEts use the same tab thats been used for Episodes and mythbusters for large character pages.

The set up:
 * 1) Introduction (appearance and a gallery space)
 * 2) Personality and Relationships
 * 3) Abilities and Powers
 * 4) History
 * 5) Misc Information

How does this sound? One-Winged Hawk 21:23, April 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also this COULD be a solution to Devil Fruits and El's merging problem... One-Winged Hawk 21:24, April 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I gave Luffy's page a trial run in tabs. I must confess it does make that page a lot easier to manage just looking at it. The only thing I do note, is some multi-references may need repairing, but thats not too much of a trouble. One-Winged Hawk 22:26, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

I think the other way looked way better. I don't like how it looks now. SeaTerror 23:01, April 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Properly needs a little more work, all I did was really split the page anyhow.One-Winged Hawk 23:04, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

I like the new idea. However, I think 5 should be better to divide to the remaining sections. Also the tab need a lot of work. Tipota 00:09, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have no idea how to divide it further, I'm open to suggestions. Misc. is what I've put everything I couldn't decide on in. I don't know enough about the tabs to complete it, just set it up so we can experiment and work on it further. One-Winged Hawk 06:09, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay looking at the pages, "Early One Piece", "Cultural References", "Manga Influences"... and I'll say "Translation and Dub Issues" can go on their own page. Though I have no idea what to call it.  One-Winged Hawk 06:40, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, the stuff was put on a working title page of "Character Development". BTW, heres the last version before tabbing so we don't loose it: Right Here. So far, the most successful thing is that the biggest character page got broken up, I'm up for more ideas, editing the page I note that lag is not an issue outside of "history" anymore.  But the pages could do with a touch of beauty, I think their not as attractive this way... Either way, anyone got any further ideas?One-Winged Hawk 06:53, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also before I forget, this is just being set up for large character pages... Ones that get above say.... 50,000+ characters? It wouldn't work so well for smaller ones I think. The page would look too bare.


 * Also, I'm not going to try it today, but I think I'll move "Personality" off of "Relationships" and onto "Introduction" since its telling us who he is as a character. One-Winged Hawk 07:00, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I also think that it is a nice idea, this page length was a bit crazy. Maybe it would help if the people who don't like it provide reason. I just think that the Character box should be on every page, I'm missing it when it is not here :-). Kdom 07:19, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thats easy to resolve, I'll add it later, I must confess I think I miss it being there two, plus its easy to forget whose tabbed pages they are without it. The general idea I get is its just because its broken up now instead of being on one page is the reason why people hate it.One-Winged Hawk 07:24, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Addedm how does it look now? One-Winged Hawk 07:52, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * much better :-) Kdom 08:09, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think that naviboxes should be on every page, othervise a reader has to return to the first page to navigate further on site. Ruxax 09:38, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Will fix this afternoon. One-Winged Hawk 10:01, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

I tried to design some more aesthetically looking tabs. Please look in my sandbox. I'd like to hear your opinions. Ruxax 17:29, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

The tabs just look ugly. Although it does look slightly better on the other pages. If this is a permanent change then move the intro text past the table of contents. SeaTerror 00:30, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

What to do with categories? Pages Monkey D. Luffy/Personality and Relationships, Monkey D. Luffy/History etc. are now uncategorized. Probably, we should add to them all the categories of Monkey D. Luffy page. A problem arises, that further we should monitor and manually keep the categories of the pages in consistence. Ruxax 19:56, April 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think it is better to categorize the subpages to internal pages and add a template to bottom of the page with the main article categories. Tipota 20:35, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't we split the other Straw Hat pages like we did for Luffy's one ? Kdom 10:14, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
