Proposal for changes to nav box[edit]

I would like to formally propose some changes to Template:Basic information. Below is the revised version that I would like to implement. This would involve several changes to structure, and also to content, such as;

  • simplifying the titles for each group within the nav box,
  • consolidating some sections
  • renaming some links to be more clear,
  • adding a new line to link to the Library
  • adding a line to link to some of the basic newsletters, and also to some resources for data relating to Wikipedia
  • regrouping links within some groups on separate lines, to make this easier for newcomers.

the goal is to make this nav box simpler for new editors, as well as easier to read for existing editors.


Thanks. --Sm8900 (talk) 19:48, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am willing to respond to any points. If no one has any comments or objections then I hope to make these changes within the next day or so. --Sm8900 (talk) 12:01, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
