MediaWiki talk:Sidebar

From OLPC

Some discussions to date about the sidebar:

• How to limit the number of fields
• Where to put the search bar
• Whether "Email and IRC" should be one link or two
• Where to put a help link for using the wiki

[edit] from arjs

Consider moving the current 'Content-url|Content' to the 'about olpc' box and call it 'Content principles' or similar, and then have a new Content link that goes to the Category:Content page (or a prettified version of it) or an expansion of or enhancement to the Template:Content-nav table that provides links to the major content project pages. You may eventually need to use a collapsing table to satisfy all the demand for sidebar billing. --FGrose 14:18, 26 February 2008 (EST)

• or better overview pages...

The Health project needs a link on the side toolbar (left). I think since it is a project, it could perhaps come under the Projects category. What does everyone else think? --Arjs 13:24, 26 February 2008 (EST)

• A whole nav for content subfiels would be appropriate, perhaps at the very end --Sj talk 16:21, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Emulation

I find this ink invaluable, and something that visitors are always asking for. but perhaps it belongs moreprominently on the main page? --Sj talk 16:21, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Recent changes

I'm confused by the movement of 'Recent changes' to the 'about olpc' block. The changes listed are the direct changes to the wiki and less so to OLPC. --FGrose 22:14, 24 April 2008 (EDT)

I concur in confusion. Please put it back under "OLPC wiki". Cjl 23:01, 24 April 2008 (EDT)
