If we use such a style extensively, we can make a new template to add to those at [[Help:Notices]]. Wikieducator has a template just for the style parameters, called <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Round_corners|round corners]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> - that's another useful approach.) --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] 18:09, 7 December 2011 (PST) | |||

This could sit alongside portal boxes, for a combination of nice visuals with the easy access info of the dropdowns. --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] 18:09, 7 December 2011 (PST) | |||

Clean boxes
I took this code from wikieducator:User:KTucker (and added different links) - I like the clean, compact look, and I can imagine using this style for boxes on the main page, maybe with a different font size.

If we use such a style extensively, we can make a new template to add to those at Help:Notices. Wikieducator has a template just for the style parameters, called {{round corners}} - that's another useful approach.) --Chriswaterguy 18:09, 7 December 2011 (PST)
Expandable sections
The expandable sections are also nicely done on wikieducator:User:KTucker, along the lines of {{pv project}}:
