However, over time I've switched more to bottom templates, since side templates have other problems, such as, as you have noticed, issues with lead images. I redeveloped some of the templates used here as bottom templates, which has compounded the lack of transparency. Template creep is already becoming a problem with some of these articles, and trying to maximise navigation utility with a minimum of clutter, particularly in the absence of interested collaborators, is a task that gets beyond me at times :) --

coastal geography and physical oceanography. There is quite a balancing act trying to optimise the way the templates can connect topic areas without becoming too overbearing. This is the first time any other editor has shown any critical interest, so your input and involvement is very welcome. I don't imagine, for one moment, that the lack of interest by editors is because I've done such a splendid job that there is no room for, even radical improvement.
655:
Anyway, as you point out, the way some of these links are currently connecting can be confusing. Originally these particular links were an attempt to reduce clutter but retain connectivity, and all the templates the links pointed to were side templates at the top of articles, where they were obvious.
559:
Umm, the intention of those links is to point to related navigation templates, in an attempt to try and pull some of these articles together and provide better topic connectivity. Over several years I've written a number of related templates covering topics related to marine biology, as well as

I see. I'm not an oceanologist, I feel confused when the term "aquatic" arise in both sides of templates(aquatic biomes/ecosystems). Would you give me a hint when I shall use this template? Especially the habitats between freshwater and marine (i.e. Littoral/intertidal zone) Thank
674:
I'm not a fan of "side templates" as they tend to interfere with images (as noted) and infoboxes. I think "bottom templates" are much preferred. Anyway, if used they should be as compact and relevant as possible ... which is why I removed the

discusses other types of habitats, defined by temperature zones or supported by upwellings etc., and again has a bottom template point to further topics related to marine habitats.

This template is about ocean habitats. The biome template is attempting too much, and should be confined to terrestrial biomes. Merging the two would be unwieldy. --
