Template talk:WP nav pages (header bar)

Directories?

It was recently pointed out to me that {{WP nav pages (header bar)}} is rather lengthy. It has a directory, and a quick directory, and a maintenance directory, and a shortcut directory, all of which essentially cover the same material in a slightly different order or layout. Do people actually use all of these? Perhaps we could make WP more friendly to novice users by combining these into one unified/simplified directory? >Radiant< 12:27, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there is some overlap. It depends how much material is actually duplicated and where it is best placed for logical reasons. I think the shortcuts should remain separate, for example, given the quantity involved. The first two directories could perhaps be merged. Adrian M. H. 17:02, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Department directory was originally User:Go for it!'s draft for the Community Portal/Redesign/Draft1a, so there is significant overlap/redundancy with the Community Portal too.

The Quick directory and Requests were fairly low-usage link collections, until User:The Transhumanist collected them into that navbar.

I strongly urge some sort of merging/consolidation/simplification. --Quiddity 23:09, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Help index proposal

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

We now have a "help index" at Wikipedia:Help index - there are currently no links to help contest from this template. I would say the new index is now a "main resource list and/or directory" that any user/editor be they novice or at the expert level could benefit from. Bellow the look of the proposal - The order its seen in is not relevant to me..last middle...dont care.Moxy (talk) 05:26, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
