The issue
Should we use vertical (column-based; example) or horizontal (tab-based; example) templates for subpages? The templates used, in case you're interested, are {{subpages4}} and {{subpages9}} (note, not for the faint of heart!).
Brief summary of arguments
For a vertical template: nicely balances out the links on the left side and top of the usual MediaWiki layout (skin).
Against a vertical template: creates layout problems, especially with images, which are usually placed in the top right, where the vertical template would go.
For a horizontal template: tabs are a common, instantly recognizable navigation tool.
Against a horizontal template: this creates "link overload" and "tab overload" at the top of the page.
Notes:
- The functionality of the subpages can be made exactly the same.
- The main considerations here are design/aesthetic ones.
