[edit] Template style update
I'd like to update this template to use the standard {{Sidebar with heading backgrounds}} template for formatting. It should come out looking almost identical, but with cleaner markup "under the hood". Any objections/suggestions? Thanks. Quiddity (talk) 20:28, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. Tell me if you want a different shape of logo image made to fit the proportions better. DarwinPeacock (talk) 22:30, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

- I've updated it, but wasn't sure whether to use the old custom colors, or to use the default ones - I went with the default for simplicity. If anyone particularly desires it, I (or they) can change it to use the old colors (instructions at {{sidebar}}, or request it here and I will do so).
- I also added a link to the Outline of sociology.
- I'd tentatively suggest re-organizing the content into a purely linear format (1 link per line), which would look something like this:

- It's a bit longer, but I think clearer. Up to you. :) -- Quiddity (talk) 01:31, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

- Thanks! It looks good. I think I personally prefer it with multiple per line -- the one-per-line is just too long. I just tried to mess with cellpadding/cellspacing to get it to take up a little less room, but it seems like like that's not possible. Do you know if there's a away (like a different class) to get it to be a little tighter? DarwinPeacock (talk) 22:23, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- If we take the linebreaks and divs out of the "contentx = " sections, that tightens it all up again. [done]. I do think it is a bit too dense (for myself, and possibly for some other readers who are unfamiliar with the topic), but it's subjective, and the compact layout has its own advantages. -- Quiddity (talk) 02:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, you're right, this is certainly too tight -- I prefer your previous version. The padding I was trying to remove was actually the stuff from between the cells and the main body of the table (like between the light-blue background that "Sociology" is written on and the edge of the whole table) -- in other words, I was trying to affect width, not height. No worries if that isn't possible. DarwinPeacock (talk) 05:22, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- I can't figure out how to do that either, nor find any examples that do that. However...
- The table is only as wide as the widest line. So, in the draft-example on this page, I've made it drastically thinner just by changing the line "Related fields and subfields" to "Fields and subfields" (and by reducing the image from 200px to 150px). I also placed the "Sociology of:" list into a 2-per-line format. Perhaps that alleviates your concerns regarding length?
- Or... we could shrink the in-use template in similar ways: more line breaks (the widest line is currently "Social psychology · Medical sociology"), and a thinner image.
- Thoughts? :) -- Quiddity (talk) 07:35, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
