Template talk:Pedro II of Brazil sidebar

Untitled

Thanks SandyGeorgia for adding this. The old box was originally meant to be an infobox for the subarticles, rather than a navbox, but it was decided to use the Royalty infobox on the subarticles instead. This will work better. • Astynax ^talk 02:34, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I see you've transcluded it in everywhere now, but it still has the "Consolation" heading, which I don't know how to change. Once everything is set, we can do the other moves Lecen requested, and then we only have to update them in one place. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:39, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I think we can just ignore the title in this instance. I also moved the image down to minimize scrolling down for the links, and added alt text for that image. You might want to arrange it differently, however. • Astynax ^talk 02:59, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Looks good ! Now, on to another point :) I think the reader (who might not all know Pedro as well as you do) will benefit if, instead of the years, the template shows the article names (shortened). For example, I would replace:

• 1825 to 1840 • 1840 to 1853

with

• Early life (1825–40) • Consolidation (1840–53)

etc. What do you think? As it stands now, the reader has to click on years to know what the article is-- I'd find it more helpful for them to know a shortened title, with the years in parens, so they don't have to recognize years to know what they want to read.

I like it. I have to go offline now, so go ahead if you want to do it. I'll implement that later tonight if you have other things clamoring for your attention. • Astynax ^talk 03:09, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I've got time now, and it's easy, so I'll go ahead and do it. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:10, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, looks good! • Astynax ^talk 06:40, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
