Voting/Discussion

Top (above header)

Comment against. By placing this first, it competes for initial attention with the page title (indeed the title for the whole encyclopedia). And assuming these will be the most used links, placing them here makes them the hardest to click on, because the user has to move the mouse further to get to them. From a Usability design approach, this is important. --Go for it! 22:05, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Top center

This is my favorite, but the top right placement also looks good. Having it below the banner throws off the page's flow, IMHO. —David Levy 21:54, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Top right

Support. The search emphasizes the best way to look up stuff, and puts the other stuff secondary.--HereToHelp (talk • contribs) 21:33, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This question concerns the placement of the browsebar in relation to the banner, not the content of either. —David Levy 21:54, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I still like it the most.--HereToHelp (talk • contribs) 22:19, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support This lessens the competition with the page title and forms an unspoken link with the search. It also keeps the boxes on the page from being separated from unboxed text. - Trevor MacInnis (Talk | Contribs) 22:15, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. This would make it easier to accommodate both the search box and the portal links within or below the header. --Aude (talk | contribs) 22:24, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. We need something to separate the top of the page from the header. Plus, it looks good. -- Ec5618 01:47, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Clean. Kevin Baas^talk 00:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Same reasons as Trevor. Gflores ^Talk 01:31, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Uncluttered and aestheticlly appealing. SYCTHOS ^talk 02:29, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Mh, not my strongest support, but I s'pose it looks best. —Nightst a llion (?) 07:50, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
support - Ravedave 16:49, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Most class, least intrusive. - ElAmericano | talk 14:41, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Below banner and/or portals

(that is, at the bottom of the header): Comment for. By placing this last, it doesn't compete for initial attention with the page title (indeed the title for the whole encyclopedia). And assuming these will be the most used links, placing them here makes them the easiest to click on, because the user doesn't have to move the mouse as far to get to them.

The way it is done above, with a different background emphasizing the links, makes it excellent. Tito xd^{(?!? - help us)} 21:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Preserves the flow of the page. Kevin Baas^talk 00:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support I agree it looks much better, and directs people who may be new to check the links out alot more then the near hidden way it is in the top right --Aaron Einstein 04:00, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not connected

Support --Go for it! 22:05, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but only if it ends up on the bottom. (I would prefer that it be placed on the top.) —David Levy 22:11, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with David Levy. There we go again!--HereToHelp (talk • contribs) 23:14, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
