Anyone else think that there should be a fishing reel line with links instead of the fishing reel topic being listed as one of the subjects next to fishing rod?

But
fishing reel has no subtopic articles; there are no child articles for which fishing reel would be the parent article. So a fishing reel line would be empty (unless, of course, you would like to write some articles that could belong there). --

New template provided
I created a template just for Fishing techniques (with no Fishing tackle section): {{
Fishing techniques}} --

Hi Theirrulez. I apologize for any confusion you have about
Template:Fishing techniques and
Template:Fishing tackle. Originally these were two separate templates. I combined them into one template, the current
Template:Fishing tackle. This was because there is a lot of overlap between fishing techniques and fishing tackle. Tackle is the equipment you use, and technique is the way you use the tackle. An article like
drift net covers both tackle and technique, because the tackle, in this case the drift net, largely defines the technique, the way it is used. The same applies really to
trabucco, since the techniques used in trabucco are largely defined by the way equipment used in trabucco is constructed (the tackle). Having separate templates for tackle and techniques was ambiguous, since many articles covered aspects of both. This is why I combined them.
When I combined them, I used
Template:Fishing tackle and deprecated
Template:Fishing techniques, that is, blanked it so it would be deleted. Ideally I should have changed the name of "Template:Fishing tackle" to "Template:Fishing techniques and tackle", but I didn't beacause changing the name of a template is such a big deal and rigmarole on Wikipedia.
When I saw you had installed
Template:Fishing techniques on your articles, I thought I had failed to blank, or deprecate it. That was why I blanked it again, and installed the currently used template. I did not notice that you had recreated
Template:Fishing techniques. I hope this clarifies the confusion. --

Collapse both sections
How does one collapse both sections for articles where there are several other navboxes? Please ping with reply. · · ·
