Template talk:Vermont

Too many parser calls (over the limit)

This template is not to be used on county sites at all. This will create parser calls over the limit. It is intended to be use for state page and state topic pages only.

We are trying to expand specific information under each category. This type of template is "over the head" and will create  a large scale headache down the pike. We already encountered this problem with locality templates, can't allow totality of over 100 at all. Utah has the correct template with correct parameters. dsammy 05:36, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Parser call limit

It is relatively simple to eleminate excessive parser calls. Notice how I do it and plug the standard navbox on counties without exceeding your parcer limit.

Navbox on the state page

The state page on all the other states is designed to be an attention grabbing whole-page navigation bar to all the other pages dealing with that state. Therefore, there is nothing to be gained by putting this kind of odd extended navbox on a state page that is already serving that purpose. It becomes navigation overkill.

Questionable innovations

There are two sections on this navbox that are a bit mysterious. What is the purpose of the Historical Records Collections (Vermont and United States)? Those collections should already be covered in the Topics. Seems redundant to me. DiltsGD 00:20, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Not redundant or mysterious, have it ever occured to you the historical collections have their own pages and you want to hide the knowledge of the existence of historical collections? dsammy 01:35, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

National stuff on the national level please. Moreover, there should never be United States "stuff" at the state level. National stuff should stay on the national level. At most there should be no more that one sentence once suggesting the reader also check for material at the national level. A good breadcrumb trail already hints at national level material.

You want the public NOT to know the existence of national ones which are NOT listed on national topics. They are buried too deep for anyone to know of the existence and you want to list each one on each county page, taking up more space when we need these real estate for other information not found within FSWiki such as WorldCat, other libraries' resources, etc? dsammy 01:35, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't think they are redundant at all. There are even historical collections specific to the counties under development and being discussed and being considered. The integrated templates are most effective way of information delivery. there is. dsammy 01:35, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
