Drive-by coding update: Table of Contents and Templates

[cin1607]

Hey all,

Just to let you know, based on the discussion in franzeska's earlier post about TOC weirdness due to TOC coding in the templates, we've now taken that bit of coding out of all of the templates. (Let us know if we missed one somewhere.) So while Fanlore will still generate a TOC for any post with three or more subheaders, the placement will be the same as wikipedia's.

Yay? :)

I hope it's not too late to re-open this conversation. I'd prefer to see the TOCs back inside the templates. As it is now, articles which previously looked fine are now squeezed into a tiny column of text beside the TOC and Template which get stacked next to each other. The solution now is to edit the articles so that the TOC is below the template anyway. So how about just putting the TOC back into the templates?

I see from the comments that there's some problems with the TOC not behaving properly or some such, but even then it seems unnecessary to be like Wikipedia. I liked the TOC being in the Template before just fine.

THIS, unless there's a quick way to make the Contents float below the infobox instead of to the left of it.

Yeah, taking them out did create weirdness. We decided to go ahead and put them back in--they should be back in by now. We're still looking at ways to improve the stylesheets so we can hopefully fix the problems that led us to try to take the TOC out of the templates in the first place.
