Quotation Template

Hi, I was wondering what people thought about the new template, {{quoteLEGO.com}}, being added to the Manual of Style for sets in the quotation from LEGO section. NovaHawk 23:35, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Make {{quoteLEGO.com}} a part of the MOS (+3)

Keep the quotation section the same (±0)

Allow either form to be used (±0)

Position of LEGO Shop description/naming and order of sections in general

I think the LEGO Shop description should be positioned at the end, just above "See also" and "External links". Right now the box is just like a roadblock that cuts off the "Notes" section below.

Also, some articles have a section called "Background", which is actually just a lead section and does not provide any "background information". Other articles have lead sections that are captioned with "Description". The lead section shouldn't have any caption at all. --User:LegOtaku/sig 13:42, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Proposal: Order of sections and section headings for set articles

Lead section: Short paragraph that describes the basic infos of the set like release year, theme, rough overview of the content etc. Information about the sets release. It's common practice on most wikis that such a lead section does not have a section heading.

Description: Detailed description of the sets content and functions.

Background: Text that describes the background/context of the featured model in its respective fictional universe (keep it short and simple)

Notes: Additional information about rare pieces (pieces that appear in just one or two sets), pieces that make their first or last appearance in this set or other peculiarities.

LEGO.com description (don't know if there could be a better section heading)

(since the citation box looks like a "roadblock" it shouldn't come after the actual description because it's to obtrusive)

See also: Links to related articles on Brickipedia, e.g. sets with a similar subject, appearance etc. or articles that describe a related subject with a broader scope or present an overview of related sets. (Not links to the parent theme or a simple list of sets of the same theme)

Sources/References: reftags from the articles

External links: At the end of the article

Comments/Suggestions

Looks ok to me- I would probably prefer the have LEGO's description before the Notes, but as you said the template when it's beside the infobox doesn't work well, so I'm happy with the ordering how it is NovaHawk 22:49, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
I like it. User:Cpatain Rex/sig 02:06, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

- So, can I just add this to the MoS, or should we hold a proper vote for this? --User:LegOtaku/sig 11:16, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
  - I think it would be ok to move it now- we've got a +3 vote at the moment which is usually enough for such things, and has been open for comments/votes for a while now NovaHawk 22:30, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
