Should Legal history of marijuana in the United States be included in this template? — User:Christopher Mann McKay user talk 21:35, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
There is a closing parentheses missing in the "society" section. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.110.241.17 ( talk) 20:34, August 23, 2007 (UTC)
Currently, the title of this template is "Major topics in the United States". Shouldn't this be "Major topics of the United States", or even simpler "United States topics"? Regards. -- Old Hoss ( talk) 18:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
There are two types of separators: {{ ·}} and {{ •}}. The former should be used in between parenthesized items, with the latter used between main items. I've updated two groups but more remain. 66.167.49.13 ( talk) 06:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC).
Should aport not be included in this template? Surely it is an significant as music, film and television. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.200.12.203 ( talk) 17:27, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
I feel that the inclusion of material here is somewhat haphazard- including "Uncle Sam", the "Puerto Rican independence movement", and "Pornography", while leaving out the "Iraq War", "9/11", and "Feminism". What is our rationale? In other areas of Wikipedia, we rely on reliable sources- I think we should do the same thing here. Nothing should be included here if we can't find a reliable source that declares it to be a "major topic". Also, I'm sure we can find some kind of scholarly history material or other such source that gives a list of what it considers to be "the definitive most-important topics in America". johnpseudo 20:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Template has an indention bug. if you put the templat in something like:
... then the template doesn't allow the succeeding text to revert back to the proper margin. Gonn wrap it in a table till someone else can mess with it. J. D. Redding 12:08, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Best. Edit summary. Ever.
Normally, I would say that
WP:ICONDECORATION discourages this, but I think that the scope of the navbox would make this a good exception to the rule. I would ask that any well-meaning editors not revert this.

Should Theater be added to the template, maybe right next to "television/cinema"? Aristophanes68 ( talk) 20:13, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Is anyone else concern with the size of this template? I dont thin we need to link everything do we? The history section is so bloated its confusing. Moxy ( talk) 19:25, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Why do you think the Progressive Era, a major article on political and social changes, is a mere detail? The historical section failed to provide any connection to "Category:Eras of United States history" nor to the events actually shaping them. I am also rather surprised you feel this rather small template is "bloated" at 14,332 bytes. Template:Timeline history of the British Isles is currently stable at 20,939 bytes.

As a comment, while I agree that this template being overstuffed is a problem, I think that this set of links is just homeless and shouldn't be moved to {{ US history}}. I reverted the addition of the links there; there's no rhyme or reason for how it's picked; it's something better for the articles mentioned above. I also think that neither template should be carelessly spammed at the bottom of any article that vaguely has to do with US History or US topics - this is a HUGE number of articles which could theoretically imply this can show up anywhere. Template bloat is already a huge problem; people will ignore 6 different collapsed templates, but if the page was maintained to have just 1 relevant template, readers can pay attention.

IMO, cabinet departments like Dept. of Homeland Security and Dept. of Commerce don't belong in this part of the template. Keep Coast Guard, NOAA Corps, and Public Health Service Corps, but eliminate their parent agencies. -- Orlady ( talk) 21:06, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
How about this version of the template, modified from here to remove the multiple [show]/[hide] links..? :

Below showing how much more space the sub section version with its more coding takes up on a page- our goal should be to fine was to reduce the complexity of the coding and to find more compact solutions - not the other way around. Moxy ( talk) 21:12, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

May we have this (good) discussion in one place, please?
This seems the most central. Or perhaps there's a better and more public place (not associated with a particular template or project)..?

Shouldn't you give the template the colours of the flag. This is my example of new colours for this template: /info/en/?search=Module:Navbox_United_States RainbowSilver2ndBackup ( talk) 14:38, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
the VP is listed under Legislature as part of the Senate. While there is some ambiguity about the exact constitutional position of the VP, the article says it is the second-highest executive position, so I think it should be grouped with the President under Executive. jonas ( talk) 15:48, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
