I've created this template as a navigation tool for Dune articles, complementing the existing Template: extended Dune series template for the novels. I intend to place it on the Dune universe page first to see how other editors react to it; perhaps then it will have a place on other pages as well.
To keep the nav box as condensed as possible, I've included the most important "people, places and things" and only items that have actual articles, not stubs. The "headings" (People, Elements/Concepts, etc) link to lengthier lists in each topic to make the box more comprehensive without being overstuffed with individual links.

Shouldn't House Richese be in front of House Vernius, since the rest of the template is in alphabetical order? -- Deviattor ( talk) 19:39, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
After looking at how many Dune-related pages are linked from List of Dune characters and List of Dune Encyclopedia articles, I think adding them all might make the thing a little unwieldy. In any case, I'm not going to finish going through and adding them all now.
Also, I'm not sure the organization is completely logical now. Why are some groups/organizations (Bene Gesserit, Face Dancers) listed under "People", and others (CHOAM, Reverend Mothers) under "Elements/Concepts"? -- DocumentN ( talk) 06:08, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Should soundtrack albums be linked from the template at all? To incorporate Emperor: Battle for Dune Official Soundtrack, it seems like I'd basically have to add another line to the box, which I'm reluctant to do when it's already 12 lines long. -- DocumentN ( talk) 03:35, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Even though it looks like the template already presents these books in chronological order of publication, I am wondering if it would be too cluttering if we put the publication years in brackets to give this sense of progression to people. I am wondering if we might also present the books in terms of the timeline according to the Dune universe, such as it would go legends to prequel to franks to midquels to rest of franks to finals. -DB
