ToC Cleanup
Cleanup of ToC called upon by Prod. Requesting clarification of the task; rationale behind current ToC: If this customized ToC causes too much controversy or proves to be less convenient than the standard ToC or the AlphabetTOC then I'm happy to support a change back to one of the said ToCs. I'd also be happy in helping create a Template version of the current ToC if it would help the situation (and Strategywiki in general) Cheers! -- Ps  o?  07:03, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Default ToC is unwieldy and consumes much space
 * Current ToC allows quick-jumping to any specific letter or any specific technology without a lengthy list
 * Colour-scheme of current ToC is similar to standard Wiki colour scheme
 * Closely resembles AlphabetTOC, albeit with expanded sub-headings
 * I took a look at it with the alphabetTOC and thought it looked pretty good. I preferred it at the bottom of the List of technologies section. If there is some alternate way of categorizing the techs (like tiers as you were doing before), maybe you could use those and limit the TOC to exclude ===Level 3 headings=== . Alternatively, flattoc might work for you. Personally, I think alphabetTOC is fine, and it happens to be the easiest way as well as the closest to what you have now. - naj zere 07:41, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The tag was added because the wikimarkup is scary. The style should also use the default toc styles rather than defining its own.  If you think this would be useful as a general template, you might want to get some community feedback on it.  I'd suggest posting on the forums (link on the left).  If you need templating help, just let me know (this one looks like it might get messy). -- Prod (Talk) 08:08, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well...I couldn't help myself. There's the template, though I do admit it needs some work. -- Prod (Talk) 08:54, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Haha nice job; I'm new to wiki and HTML/CSS, so I'm still catching up on things like class="toc" and other conventions. I'd tamper a bit with the new template to pretty/align it up more but that might make it scary again and you'd just have to undo the changes. Should I attempt it (editing the template) or leave it to you to tinker with in your own time? (Thanks too Naj, maybe we should still put the ToC under the List of Technologies section? Although I'm thinking of moving the Science section into a more appropriate article) -- Ps o  14:02, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
