If it's for general aid in browsing, why doesn't it include any entries into category pages? -- JeffW 18:10, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

This bar used to be part of Template:browsebar. The main maintainer of the portal page removed it from that bar, and hence from the portal page. That page still has browsebar on it. Placing Portals on the reference pages bar makes this header discontiguous, and disorients the reader. One of the main functions of the reference pages bar is that it remains in exactly the same location on the page at your destination, to facilitate easier navigation amongst its members. In this way, it is a more powerful reference tool itself. If you can get acceptance of this bar as Portal:Browse's header, I'll support that page's inclusion on this bar. -- Nexus Seven 18:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
This version:
[1] is just way to hard to read and follow. It's a mess, and doesn't follow the streamlined style of navigation bars: links only. For these reasons, I'm compelled to revert it. Please don't take it personally. Besides, if we do a good job on the sidebar, there will be no more need for this header. In theory, anyways.

I dislike the redesign. I don't have time to revert/explain/fix, just to register my opinion. I'll change it if it remains the same by tonight. -- Quiddity·( talk) 21:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
This navbar should have a link to main page it relates to, which is Wikipedia:Reference pages. It's the same principle as the template, Template:List resources footer. If there's an issue with the layout, then discuss it before summarily deleting the entry. Rfrisbie talk 18:35, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Overview is a list of articles. Lists of topics, Lists of lists, and List of reference tables are lists of lists. See talk:List of reference tables#Huh?. As things are being grouped, they definitely go together.
Though I think the punctuation being used on the nav header bar makes it clunky.
Also, this navbar has grown beyond its convenient size = it's no longer a simple header line. -- The Transhumanist 07:14, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
I've replaced the Lists of lists entry, as I think it's one of the key reference pages. Once List of glossaries has been substantially expanded, it should be replaced too. -- Quiddity 03:42, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Should bars of this nature follow our basic policies on accessibility....I think so after seeing a question at the help desk. This is not grade school....templates should be pretty over accessible.
