I added a separate category for transportation, and listed two very early steamboats on it. The idea is to get not all the boats (there's a lot) but just the real pioneers. Other topics for inclusion on this would be the Barlow Road, portages at Cascades and Willamette Falls, etc. Also, I would like to do something on non-steam navigation, such as canoes, bateaux etc., if that ever gets written that would be something to put in the new section.

I'm increasingly uncomfortable with Places containing so many pioneer roads. The discussion above seemed concerned that the template would become a mishmash of trivial topics, but so far it's doing okay. But it still seems that Transportation and Places could usefully be re-factored. This seems a logical reorganization to me:
The sections on topics, events, people, and Oregon history are fine. Anyone else? — EncMstr ( talk) 07:04, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
I'd like to make sections for the Catholic, ABCFM and Methodist Missionaries and stations through out the Oregon Country. This would only put the template in more of a "halfway" position of covering even more areas outside of Oregon state than currently. In terms of colonists (British and American subjects), their experiences were interwoven beyond what is now the state of Oregon before the Oregon Treaty (still true afterwards). Wouldn't it make more sense to cut the template at 1849 when the Oregon Territory was made? This way there is a template about topics across the entire region of what is now B.C., Washington, Idaho (tiny bits of Montana) and Oregon and another for the territorial/early statehood of Oregon.

We already have to some extent: {{ Oregon Native History}} but that navbox covers everything tribal related, not just the pioneer era. I'm not a big fan of navboxes personally, so others should weigh in, I just want to make sure we get more than Chief Joseph in the pioneer template if the definition isn't just "white people". Maybe we can just rename the template to not include the word "pioneer". I'm in no way suggesting we make the templates segregated though if breaking out separate sections helps people navigate topics they may be interested in then we should do that.
