...that I just had to stir things up, Actually, the January 15th edition of the Signpost had details of a very interesting new feature - CLICKABLE IMAGES. Some time back, there was an attempt to do just that with this template. However, due to technological limitations, it had to be abandoned. The new Wiki code (here) allows for the creation of clickable image maps WITHOUT having to cut up the image or otherwise "cheat" the system. As such, I've been bold and have already coded the template image as an interactive version (since it only involved some coding, and no changes to either the image or the template text). (It's a fair bit of code for this template, only because there are so many different objects to link to. I've added extensive comments within the template to make sure anyone can work with it.)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it wouldn't be workable unless the text was rendered as a graphic element. There are too many variables at play - which browser are you using, what typeface, what size, etc. - to ensure that all viewers get the same effect with text layout. (Just look at the existing template, or any Wiki page for that matter, in Firefox and IE side-by-side. Add Opera, Safari, and the other browsers, boost your text size, and it just gets harder.) Nice idea in principle, though. --Ckatzchatspy18:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-02-07T18:09:00.000Z","author":"Ckatz","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Ckatz-2007-02-07T18:09:00.000Z-Cool_Cat-2007-02-07T17:51:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Very nice. Extremly well done synoptic visualisation. Lots of information on a very small space. If one had to add a criticism, it is that I - as an uninitiated user - expected clicking on the i-button to take me to a exhaustive list of solar objects (i.e. List_of_solar_system_objects). Instead it takes me to the image source file (and if I wait for th popup-label to appear, it tells me so) (but that criticism as already adressed above).--83.77.159.172 (talk) 14:00, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-12-30T14:00:00.000Z","author":"83.77.159.172","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-83.77.159.172-2007-12-30T14:00:00.000Z-Nifty!!","replies":[]}}-->
I removed the additions of the Gliese 581 system because it is not part of this solar system (it's a whole 20 light years away). MThe topic of this template is the solar system (as in our solar system) and thus other systems do not apply. Additionally, there have been many solar systems discovered, and they are not part of this template (if they were it would be unmanageably big). If someone wants to create a template to sit at the bottom of the Gliese 581 system (and/or other systems) to tie all the related topics (i.e. planets) together that could be more appropriate.

I think the image map would be better off as a regular old image. First, I clicked on it hoping to see an enlarged view, as with pretty much every other image on Wikipedia, but instead I got sent to the page for Neptune. Took a second to figure that one out. Then, cursoring around the image, it seems to be broken up into absurdly small fragments of which many are plain black space. Can we just make this a regular image, and allow people to click on the normal links beneath if they want to see a particular topic? --Doradus02:15, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-05-08T02:15:00.000Z","author":"Doradus","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Doradus-2007-05-08T02:15:00.000Z-Image_map","replies":["c-RandomCritic-2007-05-08T02:18:00.000Z-Doradus-2007-05-08T02:15:00.000Z"]}}-->

Will this help with your concerns? I've created a test version to demonstrate the "info" button:
Clicking on the "i" takes you to the image page. I didn't enable it originally because of the size, which is kind of big on this particular graphic. Thoughts? (P.S. If there's consensus to use this, please don't copy the test code - all that needs to happen is to change the line "desc none" in the existing template to "desc bottom-right".) --Ckatzchatspy19:36, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-05-12T19:36:00.000Z","author":"Ckatz","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Ckatz-2007-05-12T19:36:00.000Z-Doradus-2007-05-12T17:47:00.000Z","replies":["c-RandomCritic-2007-05-12T21:02:00.000Z-Ckatz-2007-05-12T19:36:00.000Z"]}}-->
I see that Planet I is bigger than Saturn, and resides in the Oort Cloud. Really this is pointless. Anyone desperate to view the original image can find the image name by looking at the code; anybody who wants to edit the image should presumably know how to do that. The graphic seems to get rave reviews from most people. What P3d0 sees as bugs, most people see as features. I don't see any reason to change it other than (maybe) cosmetically.

The size of the "i" is the primary reason I never enabled that feature - it dominates the graphic and is confusing. Another option would be to create a rectangular area the same size as the graphic, and put it "under" everything else. That way, clicking on empty space could be defined as a link to the image itself. (I had intended to use such a field as a link to Solar System or something similar, but never got around to it.)

The longitude measures north and south and latitude measures east and west. The earth is bulged at the poles and is square at the equarter which is located at the south end of earth.
That really makes the most sense, keeping the image-internal links and allowing a (non-intrusive) link to the image.

I'm afraid I might be the only one who came to this image without preconceived notions and actually tried to use it. But ok, if nobody else has a problem with this image behaving surprisingly relative to most images on Wikipedia, can we at least agree that the hot zones on this image map are too small? Can we have a smaller number of larger zones? Or, failing that, can we at least make the entire image map bigger so the planets are discernible? --Doradus19:08, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-05-15T19:08:00.000Z","author":"Doradus","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Doradus-2007-05-15T19:08:00.000Z-Image_map","replies":["c-Ckatz-2007-05-15T19:14:00.000Z-Doradus-2007-05-15T19:08:00.000Z"]}}-->
Well, I respect your thoughts on the matter, but I have to say that - from my perspective - it is actually a way of making the graphic much, much more functional. It also seems to have been very well received, given the recent compliments other editors have added here. I suspect that you'll probably be seeing a lot more "clickable" graphics across Wikipedia, as more editors become aware of the capability.

I tried to make this template autocollapse (because that seems to be the trend in navboxes lately, so they work well together) but I was reverted by User:Ckatz, who likes the imagemap. I believe that we can have both, with one of three methods:
Deep template magic. Somehow mix Wikipedia:NavFooter divs into the template. This is beyond my skill, perhaps someone else can attempt it?
Substitute the imagemap for the "Solar System" link on top.
Have the title be "Solar System:" and then the imagemap, all in one row.

My thoughts are that there is no need to autocollapse this template. Many articles, say, for instance, countries, have many templates at the bottom and need autocollapse. Most of these articles only have two templates at the bottom (one of which is already autocollapsed), some of these articles have only this one template at the bottom, and the one with the most appears to be Pluto, with four (the other three of which are autocollapsed). I don't really see a need to autocollapse this template, even if we found an acceptable way to keep the image shown. It is undoubtedly the most important template at the bottom of these articles, and I think it should be left as it is.

These boxes have already been worked at to keep them as small and unobtrusive as possible. With larger boxes there's a good case to be made for autocollapse. Here it's not only unnecessary but undesirable. If I want to go quickly from the Jupiter page to the Saturn page and back again with one click, I find the navbox and there's my link. That's the whole point of navigation boxes. If the box is autocollapsed (among a bunch of other such boxes), then I need to guess which box to use, open it up, click on the link; then to get back where I came from I have to do the same thing -- only to find that the navigation box has recollapsed! This undermines the whole function of such boxes. Being able to hide or reduce boxes is a good idea; setting everything to autocollapse is a very, very bad one.

I really like this: it gets you most of the functionality of the full box in a fraction of the room. I believe that navboxes have to balance two goals: making navigation easy for the fraction of the readers who want to navigate through the box, while keeping the article easy-to-read and well-laid-out for those readers who don't want to navigate through the box. My assumption is that most readers do not use the navboxes: we have to be careful to not chew up too much screen real estate with the navboxes, hence the small fonts and the collapse feature.
In my opinion, the combination of the unhidden "Solar System" link and the imagemap is just perfect --- it will capture most of the utility: I suspect that most people want to navigate to planets and moons. If people want the more obscure stuff, they can open the box.
I believe that RandomCritic's argument against autocollapse is less of an issue in these modern times with tabbed browsing (Firefox and IE 7): when I do navigate through the navboxes, I almost always use "open in new tab".. I wish there was some option to "open all navigation links in separate tabs".

Actually, having it this way makes me worry that a lot of people might not realize that there's more to the infobox hidden. Yes, there is a "[show]" link in the corner, but it looks like it's a full infobox with the image being visible. I'm sure a lot of readers aren't particularly familiar with the idea of hidden infoboxes, and I just worry that people won't realize that there's a whole lot more to it than what they can immediately see.

My point here is that the idiom of clicking on a "[show]" link should become a well-known habit of Wikipedia readers. At least, that's what I predict.

Yeah, I agree with what you're saying. I'm not concerned about people thinking that is the template without hitting "[show]". It's becoming a Wikipedia-standard. Even today, I was going through a number of templates (similar to this one but on different topics), and each one had a "[hide]" and "[show]" option.

Perhaps give it a few more days just to see what thoughts are, and then it can be updated if there's a strong consensus. This was developed over a long period of time, with a lot of give-and-take, so changes should reflect that history. (Personally, the revision doesn't bother me too much, although I prefer the non-collapsed style. Also, the code for this is a temporary version on a sub-page, and I didn't incorporate all of the necessary details from the full version. Won't take long to adjust the real one though.) --Ckatzchatspy19:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-05-16T19:27:00.000Z","author":"Ckatz","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Ckatz-2007-05-16T19:27:00.000Z-Myselfalso-2007-05-16T18:53:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
This concept of a handful of people creating a "Wikipedia standard" is disturbing. You see a lot of autocollapse boxes because a very small number of people have been going around changing the style of navbox for a lot of pages. Then, when somebody balks at the change, they point to all of the other boxes they've changed and say "it's the standard". Well, there is no such thing. I don't see why WP editors should be bullied into accepting a specific format, which may not be suitable for certain pages or boxes, because a few people pat themselves on the back and call their changes "standard". And no, I don't think autocollapse is at all suitable for this footer, which is a footer, with tiny, squoze-in information just because it was supposed to be unobtrusive. If it's going to be autocollapsed, why keep it at all? Why not go for the larger Solar System navbox?

I entirely agree. The purpose of the "show" function is to provide extra information with a click if the viewer so desires it, not to remove the basic information already on display. The navbox here has already been designed with the specific purpose of making it slim. If we are going to have a collapseable box here, the present design should be the slimmed down version - not the expanded one.

To my knowledge, it can't be changed. The only way it could operate like that would be to have a box within a box. That wouldn't work for this, because that's used in cases where there are a number of large boxes combined. I think the way it is fine and we should use the above.

I agree that the font sizes could be a little larger (though they should still be smaller than ordinary text). But I don't agree with extending the box borders to the boundaries of the page. This seems to be the in thing for boxes these days, but it's unsuitable for this particular box, which is visually built around the illustrative image of the Solar System planets. Extending the borders to the edges creates a great deal of incompatible white space around both sides of the image; and I don't believe it's feasible to have an expanding and contracting image as the central feature of this box.

I don't agree that the template looks bad.

I'm removing 'Hills Cloud' from the template. This term is not commonly used by the astronomical or planetary science communities, and the article itself isn't much good.

I noticed on the page for Dwarf planets, it lists 9 dwarf planets (Ceres, Orcus, Pluto, Haumea, Quaoar, Makemake, 2007 OR10, Eris, and Sedna) but in this navigation bar, it only lists 5 (Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris).

The dwarf planet page only lists the other four as "highly likely" dwarf planets, not as dwarf planets per se, so I don't see a real inconsistency. (There's an extremely long discussion at Talk: Dwarf planet on whether they should be actually considered the same category.) Still, I wouldn't mind adding the four "highly likely" dwarf planets here, if there's consensus for it. Nor would I mind listing only the very largest dwarf planets (e.g., only Eris and Pluto) so as not to clutter the template. --Roentgenium111 (talk) 16:17, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-02-20T16:17:00.000Z","author":"Roentgenium111","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Roentgenium111-2012-02-20T16:17:00.000Z-Omega13a-2011-09-11T20:15:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I suppose we don't go by size here, but by "category" (otherwise the largest gas giant moons would also have to be listed individually, since they're larger than Pluto or Ceres).
