I built this template to replace template:Graphical projection because the old template didn't adequately show how each projection was related. The hierarchy in this new template does a better job of this. Also, other non-graphical views can be accommodated in this template allowing further exploration by the reader.-- Jrsnbarn 13:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't believe that the revisions you have made are helpful. The intent of moving this from a bottom-of-article navigational box into a sidebar hierarchical list was to better show how each projection was related. Your 'flatter' version muddies the relationships, and intermixes mathematical and geometrical projections. Please restore this to a sidebar, and remove the thumbnails if you feel they take up too much space.-- Jrsnbarn 14:15, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I can be more specific: while Projection (linear algebra) may describe the mathematical basis for graphical projections, it is not a view. The Views template is a hierarchical list of views that helps the reader to quickly understand the relationship between them. Perhaps if there was an article about Parallel projection, rather than just a redirect, it could be included in this list.
Also, sensing your reluctance to restore this template to the hierarchical list as per the original intention (see first entry in this discussion), I have taken care of this for you. To address your concerns around the length of the template, I have left the images out, removed links to sections within articles, and combined Aerial view with Bird's-eye view (both terms are helpful in this list). I have kept Top-down perspective in Other Views as per your edit. Indeed, there are some formatting problems in a few of the articles, so if you like you can redirect your efforts to resolving these instances.
I think that there may be some benefit in having a separate Projections navbar at the bottom of the article which could include the anchored links to each type of perspective projection, and perhaps could include all those map projections. However, I think such a navbar should be supplemental to this hierarchical Views list. As you continue to edit, keep in mind the intention for this template as described in my first entry above on 22 March 2007. Also, please refer to the history of Template:Graphical projection to see where this work started. Thanks.-- Jrsnbarn 14:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
I clicked on the planform link...but it says a planform has to do with the wings of an airplane. What's up with that? It has nothing to do with the other links.
I think there's too much space between the list items. The spacing and bullets can be changed to match the size of the font if we use HTML elements instead of wiki markup. SharkD ( talk) 02:00, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Since it was just removed then re-added, what is the purpose of this image? ( Image:Axonometric projection.svg) -- Allefant ( talk) 02:41, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
For example, on Fisheye lens the template is larger than the lead image. Make the template like {{Commons category|Fisheye lenses}} and locate it down there too. -- టంగ్స్టన్ కార్బైడ్ ( talk) 04:40, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
