Why
[edit | edit source]Why I want to reinvent the weel...
- currently encoded (HTML) QuickBars may frighten begginers
- Wiki style tables are cleaner, but need more space (lines) and still suffer of all style definitions mess
- QB source should be cleaner to view (or skip)
- QB editing should be more intuitive
- don't loose flexibility (in opposition to predefined Template:Country_Quickbar used in User:(WT-en) Bijee/India)
- possible to define fixed Country_Quickbar, City_Quickbar and other templates using this
How
[edit | edit source]Creating QuickBar would be a sequence of template calls. Titles & images would have one parameter. Ordinary lines two.
Why this doesn't work
[edit | edit source]WikiMedia has to be at least in version 1.4 to support more than five lines based on the same template. See MetaHelp:Template.- WikiTravel policy currently does not allow this kind of templates. See Project:Using Mediawiki templates and its discussion
Example source
[edit | edit source]Source of QuickBar shown at right would look like:
