I am sorry but I had remove this template twice from an article simply because it is way too long. It completely messed up the format of the article since the article included many pictures that were placed to the relevant sections. Such vertical templates are generally not a good idea unless they regroup articles about different topics under a larger topic (eg politics and arts templates). However, this is simply a list. The correct format should be a horizontal template that will go to the bottom of the article. If it stays as such a long vertical template, I will have no choice to remove it again if it were to be re-included in that article. Currently it messes up the article's style and format, and is very distracting to the reader. So please format it horizontally and I will include it. By the way, the template's color setup is also not very pretty. You can simply transpose the format of anohter horizontal template and change the wikilinks. Most of those templates are light blue templates and look much nicer. Cheers! Baristarim 08:55, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
(just unindenting) maybe the template could be changed to have a hide/show function displaying the various countries by continent? Badbilltucker 17:04, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
I think the hide/show function would work very, very well for this article. Someone should go ahead and do it, I would but I lack the expertise.-- Thomas.macmillan 19:28, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Even though this template sits on the right-side of the page, it is forcing all the left-aligned images to appear below the end of it. See [1], for example. In general, I would suggest that given the length of this thing, it should be horizontal and placed at the bottom of articles, rather than vertical and placed as a sidebar. This matches the format of other navigation bars in virtually all areas of Wikipedia, such as linguistics ({{ Indo-Iranian languages}}), minority ethnic groups in a country ({{ Asian Americans}}), etc. cab 03:56, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
thanks for the horizontal template i think that it should be used when the vertical one does not fit the page or disturbes the images. but on islam in china page the vertical one should be used. 7day 19:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Meaning. This box is way too big. And Template:Socialism sidebar solves this problem rather nicely. After about 10 minutes of pretending to remember more than basic HTML and having no idea what the classes NavFrame NavHead, etc. do I failed at fixing this template. But, if someone else could make this template hide by region that would be great. gren グレン 13:58, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I suggest we should try to use a uniform format for the Islam templates. if there is something that is wrong with the current format, then the same changes should be made to all the Islam templates. by using {{ sidebar}} and {{ sidebar with collapsible lists}} we reduce the amount of code and help with uniformity across sidebar templates. thank you.
