Now that we can use cool sidebars for encyclopedia entries, why don't we make one for each entry? The sidebar will simply be a carbon copy list of the category! For instance the list of Characters (CT) will appear in the sidebar for Crono and other characters's entries for easy navigation!!



WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm not really following what you just said.  Your enthusiasm for it makes it sound like a great idea though!

I believe he's telling us procrastinators to get a move on and finally complete the encyclopedia.

Oh okay. It's definitely a nice addition. It messes a bit with the image table but this should be easily fixed.

Are the entries updated automatically or is this frame something distinct from the category page?

Distinct, so we'd have to add it in after the category and all its entries are totally done.

There's a MediaWiki feature that lets you insert code from special pages into other pages. We use it with the Encyclopedia Main Page for the topics list, which is stored separately in a special Topics page that can be included on any other page.

By using that with each entry, you get nice listings that can easily be managed and updated. Otherwise, I'd suggest against the listing, since hardcoding that much redundant information into pages is way backwards.

I don't notice anything radically different.  What did you do, add images?
