Talk:Protocols

This is a proposed restyling of the protocols page. I thought I would put it here to see what people thought before making it go live on the real page. Comments welcome. I just thought the page could be made more compact and easy to view. Feel free to retweak if you have a better idea. A similar thing has been suggested for the materials page. My only concern is whether it makes it more difficult/intimidating for those new to wikis to edit? Which is definitely not what I want. -- RS

I created a protocols template. It has all the formatting from the protocols below. This page has the new version of the protocols using that template. This makes it easier for people to edit the protocols list without dealing with all the formatting. Power users can edit the template to add new categories, formats etc.--BC 12:01, 11 January 2006 (EST)
