Note: in the mock-ups, the bottom lines of the boxes disappear for no apparent reason. Keep in mind that the actual sidebar will not have this problems (our programmers will make sure of that). Also, the above design shows the basic layout -- the search box above doesn't work right and is a bit clunkier than the real one -- it's only here for show to make the mock-ups more complete. In the final design, the actual search box that is on the sidebar now will be retained, unless consensus determines new specifications for it. --Nexus Seven 12:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On these mock ups, the bottom lines of the boxes disappear depending on which line (odd or even?) you start the mock up on. I've fixed the problem of disappearing borders (in firefox) by adding a blank line to the top of the section. What's underneath a mockup also seems to affect them too. Just a heads up. --Nexus Seven 05:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Version 18

[edit]

A minimal copy of version 16, with a reordered toolbox to keep "what links here" at the top, and "cite this article" at the bottom.

find

Version 19

[edit]


A minor difference of version 17. Some items got reordered.

search

Version 21

[edit]


A slight modification of version 19 and 17. The help link is bolded, to help it stand out.

search

Version 22

[edit]


Version 21 with search bar above navbar. The same idea with searchbar on top can be used with any other version, so this version is not about link order or anything else other than searchbar position.

Version 24

[edit]

Version 23 with the search bar at top and most portlet names linked to relevant pages.
