Wikipedia:Page footers

The MediaWiki namespace has seen a rather enthusiastic increase of use recently and has been used to create page footers that link related articles. For example, the bottom of Germany links to the other EU countries; the bottom of Neptune (planet) links to the other planets in our solar system; the bottom of University of California, Berkeley links to the other University of California campuses. Unfortunately, all three of these footers have a rather different look.

This page aims to reach consensus on what these footers should look like, to ensure consistency across Wikipedia.

You are encouraged to come up with a new layout and post it here. Hopefully we will find a consistent look that most everyone will be happy with.

Please notice that this page is deliberately enclosed in a <div> tag that makes the background white. This is so that you get the real impression of how these footers look on an article page.

This is not a poll (yet). This is an attempt to reach a consensus. If need be, we might have a poll later on. By then we should have some more designs to vote for.

Suggestion #1: modelled after the look of the Tables of Contents; was instituted in the third week of February 2004

Suggestion #2: thick horizontal rule, then simple links; was the standard form for all countries from late 2002 until February 2004 . It's still part of the template of WikiProject Countries.
