Capitalization

Bluelinks in template box should be capitalized, per WP style. Badagnani (talk) 04:10, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Can you give a reference to that style please? --Geronimo20 (talk) 22:38, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Heading

I might suggest something to make the heading stand out more. Currently it is a bit confusing to read as the heading visually merges with the text. Invertzoo (talk) 18:04, 30 July 2008 (UTC) Corrections, Invertzoo (talk) 18:37, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Whelk

Is there some way that the item "whelk" on the list can also link to Buccinum undatum? Invertzoo (talk) 18:40, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Some changes

I hope nobody minds that I did some minor changes. I hope they make things clearer. Invertzoo (talk) 18:45, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

New image

I thought maybe that a pic of live cockles in a tank was more relevant to fisheries than an empty mussel shell washed up on a beach (albeit a very beautiful one).Invertzoo (talk) 01:34, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Format

That image is much better, Invertzoo. This navigation panel is maybe just a stop gap until separate articles are written for these species fisheries. It is a way of letting users navigate easily for now amongst the bits and pieces that are scattered around Wikipedia. I'm not sure what you mean when you say the "heading visually merges with the text". I've restored the format to where it was because that is a standard format used on articles on fishing and fisheries. I take your point about article names being capitalised. However these are not article names, they are menu items which point to a section in an article. Also, this format is established across the other templates. I removed whelks for now - it looks messy, there's hardly anything that's been written about them commercially, and they're not that important commercially anyway. --Geronimo20 (talk) 22:38, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh, OK, thanks for the info, I did not realize this was an accepted format for Fisheries. I'm glad you like the new image. Invertzoo (talk) 13:31, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Me again, thanks again, I should perhaps explain that when I said that the "heading visually merges with the text" I meant that the heading "commercial mollusks" does not "read" well visually: the word "mollusks" does not stand out from the list of mollusks, but seems to be part of it. I see that on the template for commercial finned fish, the list of names of fish is arranged flush left. Maybe that would help this list too? 69.22.234.68 (talk) 14:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC) This note was from me. Invertzoo (talk) 16:35, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Escargot

I added escargot to the list. These are commercially exploited mollusks, however they are not part of "fisheries" because they are land snails, therefore they are "farmed" rather than fished. Please let me know if anyone objects to their being included on this template. Invertzoo (talk) 16:34, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
