Reasons behind the changes (optimal version)

  • Navigation box -- repurposed as a reader-oriented set of browsing links
  • Interact box -- created, to seperate the non-encyclopedic sidebar links
  • Toolbox --
    • separated the contextual/local links (top) from the fixed/global links (bottom)
    • moved the Recent changes link to here, from the navigation box, as contextually appropriate.
    • reorganised to place "Cite this article" and other reader-oriented links at the top. (a straight reversal of current ordering)



Toolbox variants - for user pages, and other instances

On user pages ("Cite this article" is replaced by "User contributions" and "E-mail this user")

Toolbox


On special pages

Toolbox


and so on, for the "Block user", "rss atom", and "trackbacklink" links.
