Wiki NavBar Changes
Posted: 06 Nov 2014, 00:16
Alright, so while I was doing some housekeeping/patrolling on the wiki, I came to realize something. The OnigiriNav that's placed at the bottom of a majority of the wiki pages is... very inefficient. I'm looking for opinions and what people want to see happen with it, and whether we should even change it at all.
Here's the look of the current NavBar.
Looks nice and neat right? Here's the problem... opening any of those collapsed sections looks like this.
And here's what it looks like when I go to make edits to the various Navs.
This is a small section of just one of the Navs.
It quickly becomes very cluttered and hard to look at. Therefore, I'm going to list a few things I see as pros and cons of the current system and leave it up to you guys to tell me what the general consensus of the community is regarding changes to the NavBar.
Pros-
Able to quickly navigate to the major sections of the wiki regarding items/magatama/etc.
Able to see every page listed in said sections.
Cons-
Able to see every page listed in said sections. (Yes, this repeat is intentional.)
Dramatically increases load time for mobile devices as the "collapsed" list is expanded by default and cannot be collapsed.
Manually update every single item for every single section.
That said, what is it that you guys would like to see with the NavBars? Would you like something simpler like having a link to the category pages rather than every item, or do you have a different idea in mind?
