[edit] Reduction in size?

This template is quite large on a normal 1024x768 monitor. I just redesigned the {{University of Oklahoma}} template (basing it off of {{Johnny Cash}}). Would anybody be against be converting it to the same format? I'll work on it in my userspace tomorrow so you can see it before a possible implementation.↔NMajdan•talk 00:24, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Take a look at User:Nmajdan/Test1 and let me know what you think. You can set a parameter so one dropdown stays down (on that page, the Athletics dropdown will always be down).↔NMajdan•talk 02:31, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
I like it...can you just add a hook 'em (Image:Hookem hand.svg) to it somewhere ? Corpx 06:34, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
I honestly don't know. I tried adding an image to the OU one I made but the dropdowns covered it up. I'll ask some other template makers if they know how to add an image. Is the image a deal-breaker?↔NMajdan•talk 11:48, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I added the image. What do you think? Can I go ahead and use it?↔NMajdan•talk 13:02, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm impatient, I apologize. I went ahead and replaced the template with the new design. If you don't like, you can revert. I am updating all the articles to have the automatic dropdown. If the template is reverted, it shouldn't effect those pages.↔NMajdan•talk 13:36, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I like it! Thanks for the work! Corpx 14:06, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

So it figures that a week after I rewrite this template, they would go and change the way drop downs are done. I finally got around to figuring out the change. I have made the change to {{University of Oklahoma}} and I will make the change to this template sometime next week. If somebody else wants to tackle the change before then, you can see the changes made to the OU template here.↔NMajdan•talk 19:17, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expanding Campus Section

Seeing how some notable campus buildings are not linked on the template while others are listed but not linked, I don't see why these following buildings can't be listed under the campus tab:
