CZ:Subpages/Which style?

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.
