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 {{subpages2}} 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). For cases with many subpages there is unlimited room to expand down.
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. For cases with many subpages there is limited room to expand and the tabs may be too crunched, however, it can realistically accommodate 10-12 subpages.
Notes:
- The functionality of the subpages can be made exactly the same.
- The main considerations here are design/aesthetic ones.
