Wikibooks talk:Alphabetical classification

How do you get a horizontal table of contents rather than a vertical one? A horizontal one would look much better here, Jguk 16:33, 27 March 2006 (UTC)


 * It has to be "manually" added, but I think I could turn it into a "standard" template. It was something I was thinking of doing... so perhaps it will be a good challenge right now.  --Rob Horning 16:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm choosing to ignore articles (the words the, a, or an) when organizing the books. As long as it is done consistantly, I don't see too much of a problem here, although it does make automating this in the future somewhat of a problem. Feel free to gripe about this or concurr about this idea if you choose. --Rob Horning 02:18, 29 March 2006 (UTC) jello

Here are some thoughts I had about what to add to this page. I was thinking of setting up a standardized template for Wikibooks that would include more than just the title, but also include the stages icon, book of the month status, print version (if available) and perhaps other sorts of information like a links to all of the subpages (via prefix-index) or other similar kinds of information that you might want to find out regarding a particular Wikibook, mostly to indicate quality. This is a display template, not a template to indicate status within the wikibook (which is another issue entirely).

If is primarily for this reason why I insisted on going this route rather than going through categories, although there are benefits both ways. Any other suggestions for additional information about specific Wikibooks? Icons for each type of book (aka bookshelf icon)? --Rob Horning 00:33, 30 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I think for the sake of neatness (i.e. having all titles lined up) the icons should go to the RIGHT of the title rather than the left (as they are now). On the other hand, this also makes them stand out less. Perhaps BotM/CotM icons could go to the left (since these deserve to stand out) and the more "general" icons (development stages, infoboxes) to the right? Xerol Oplan 16:57, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
