[edit] Kazakhstan-related topics

I made the change to {{Kazakhstan topics}} so it would auto collapse like the other navboxes used in Kazakhstan and other uses. --— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk - 12:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] State

Propose that |state = uncollapsed be removed to allow the navbox to be autocollapsed in articles like Kazakhstan. This will match the useage of the other Kazakh navigational boxes. --— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk - 21:05, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

support removal of line so that navbox can be autocollapsed. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 04:01, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: State

Please, check the templates of ANY other country (USA, Russia, Armenia, Germany...) They are all uncollapsed!!!! The usage of this box is "SEE ALSO". —Preceding unsigned comment added by BernardTom (talk • contribs) 22:19, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Point to specific examples of those uncollapsed templates, that do not allow themselves to be collapsed. Also, read Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 04:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I do not support the collapsed state of the navbox because of the following reasons:

1. This navbox is used as a section "See Also". People, who read the article, may not notice the interesting details about Kazakhstan if the navbox is closed.

2. It's convenient to see the links directly without expanding them.

3. The standart state of "See Also" navboxes are uncollapsed FOR EVERY OTHER COUNTRY. Why it should be collapsed for Kazakhstan?

4. This navbox is not TOO big. It has a comparable size as of any other "See Also" navboxes.

5. What is your reasons to change the state? User talk:BernardTom(talk) —Preceding comment was added at 04:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

BernardTom is correct that when used in the "See Also" section, such templates are not collapsed (see Argentina, Canada, Italy, Malta, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, Vietnam). That being said, most of those templates are set to auto-collapse, and then on the "See Also" section someone adds |state=expanded. Given that on every other page besides Kazakhstan, this template will be collapsed, it should not have |state = uncollapsed. Otebig (talk) 02:49, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok. I've made changes.. BernardTom (talk) 05:29, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Space at the bottom

There's a space at the bottom of them template (see Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic and Postage stamps and postal history of Kazakhstan for examples). Can anyone get rid of this? Otebig (talk) 03:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of politics of Kazakhstan template

Since all the information on the Politics of Kazakhstan template is now on this template, I'm going to start removing the former from the articles to avoid duplication. It makes more sense to have one general template, plus horizontal templates are better for page layout than vertical templates. Otebig (talk) 04:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
