This template is obscenely huge. Is there any way to have all the subsections hidden by default instead of open by default?

I agree that the template is way too big. What I propose is that the MTV Networks section (which takes up nearly two-thirds of the template) be split into a separate template; like Template:TBS was off of Template:Time Warner, or NBC Universal was from GE. I definitely would not be able to split it though. Any other suggestions? --Squeak 02:56, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-17T02:56:00.000Z","author":"Squeak90","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Squeak90-2007-08-17T02:56:00.000Z-Kaldari-2007-08-16T19:06:00.000Z","replies":["c-Geniac-2007-08-17T12:55:00.000Z-Squeak90-2007-08-17T02:56:00.000Z"],"displayName":"--Squeak"}}-->

How about converting it to {{Navbox generic}} like Template:Time Warner ? It appears to be the current navbox standard and the default state is collapsed. --Geniac 12:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-17T12:55:00.000Z","author":"Geniac","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Geniac-2007-08-17T12:55:00.000Z-Squeak90-2007-08-17T02:56:00.000Z","replies":["c-Kaldari-2007-08-17T17:57:00.000Z-Geniac-2007-08-17T12:55:00.000Z"]}}-->

Taking another look at it, that MTV Networks section needs split off also because it has sections of its own (Channels in North America...Closed channels). I can't work on this more today, but if nobody does so by tomorrow, I'll create two sandboxes; one to test a {{Navbox generic}} version of this template and one to test a MTV Networks navbox. --Geniac 19:26, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-17T19:26:00.000Z","author":"Geniac","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Geniac-2007-08-17T19:26:00.000Z-Kaldari-2007-08-17T17:57:00.000Z","replies":["c-Geniac-2007-08-17T20:26:00.000Z-Geniac-2007-08-17T19:26:00.000Z","c-Geniac-2007-08-17T21:42:00.000Z-Geniac-2007-08-17T19:26:00.000Z"]}}-->

(de-indent) Cool beans. I had linked to the MTV Networks template only because I saw that's how Template:Time Warner did it. The changes to this template since this discussion started have only been to the MTV Networks section, so I've updated Template:MTV Networks to reflect those changes, then replaced this template with the sandbox version. --Geniac 02:38, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-22T02:38:00.000Z","author":"Geniac","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Geniac-2007-08-22T02:38:00.000Z-Untitled","replies":["c-Kaldari-2007-08-22T04:53:00.000Z-Geniac-2007-08-22T02:38:00.000Z"]}}-->

I forgot to put collapsed as the state parameter. Could you do the same for {{MTV Networks}}?

How in any way is Viacom associated with both The CW4Kids and 4Kids TV??? First of all, both are mere programming blocks are programmed by 4Kids Entertainment, which is a company of its own. Second, CW4Kids is seen on The CW, which is co-owned by CBS and Time Warner. Third, as for 4Kids TV, it is seen on UPN, which is owned by Viacom/CBS. As far as I know, Viacom, nor BET are mentioned anywhere in the articles in relation to CW4Kids or 4Kids TV. WIKIVUE Detroit (talk) SUN JUN 15 2008 12:25 AM EDT | 4:25 AM UTC
