Wikinews talk:SectionMenu

Wikinews:SectionMenu has been deprecated in favor of Browse.

Please be sparing with adding new topics! Stick to only the major ones, not "everything under the sun", to keep this page usable. Thanks! Dan100 (Talk) 10:21, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Dates on stories?
Is it possible to put dates next to the regional stories? Smaller regions (eg New Zealand) only have a few stories and the latest ones are quite old. It would be nice to be able to see this without reading each one. Guest, 00:52 3 November 2005 (GMT)

More localer news
I agree with needing to keep it easy to browse, but what about having sections for very local news? For example, what if I want stories that might go under United States/Texas/Houston/The Heights (it's kind of a ward or borough of Houston)? I'm not going to go adding subtopics that are one of what could be a bajillion, but is there a reasonable solution for doing something like this? Jordanmills 17:10, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Proposed change
If we do it in this format, it would look a lot better, and much more organized. Just my two cents. —M ESSED R OCKER (talk) 01:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Update: I have just changed the background color of the top part to green, to combat the problems associated with blue text on blue background (albeit different shades, they may pose a problem for the colorblind). —M ESSED R OCKER (talk) 00:47, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment on proposal

 * This looks like a good choice, from my point of view. The color choice should be checked for useability by people with vision limitations, and if it will work with other Wikinews color layouts. - Amgine/talk 05:09, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * One of the sections used to have a blue background, until someone said it could be really bad for people with vision limitations. —M ESSED R OCKER (talk) 05:13, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I kinda like the colours in the class "toccolours". ( which I just previously applied without asking anyone - bad old me being bold) I really have to learn to propose stuff. but anyways this looks good. Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 21:39, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Browse
If you haven't seen Browse yet, I urge you to take a look at it. I hope in the future to replace SectionMenu with what I feel is the better solution. — THIS IS M ESSED OCKER  (TALK) 13:45, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
