Size of template
Template:Fascism is a rather large template, though not the largest on Wikipedia. It's about 25% larger than Template:Anarchism, which is the one I modelled it after. Most of the space is taken up by the Movements group because fascism is a nationalist ideology so each national variant is unique, unlike anarchism which is much more international and thus more generic. If the template gets much larger the solution is to split off each group into its own template for use in articles in that group. Below I've included a set of templates for doing just that, though the content will have to be updated from the main template before doing so. If anyone feels the current template is too bloated please let me know. I'm going to get to work on Template:Fascism sidebar. Ecto (talk) 19:03, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Another option, and the one that should be implemented first, is to put collapsible groups into the template itself. The template is almost large enough to require this change now. The template below has some drawbacks, such as the grey group listings which don't look very good, but they're needed to show certain bluelinks (these bluelinks could also be shown by moving them into the lists and bolding them, like is done with the current template).
