Merge edit
Can we center as default, and just pick a spacing mark? (ndashes look clearest, imo).
I've added "Portals" to the centered version. I think thats the only content difference.
Based on the 4 locations both types are located at, it would also be improved by a box like this

sound good? -Quiddity 06:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'm merging them now. will add box as 2nd edit. --Quiddity 09:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
I've reformatted it a bit:
Academic disciplines – Glossariess – How-tos – Lists – Overviews – Portals – Reference tables – Timelines
Indices: Alphabetical – Anniversaries – Categories – Countries – Cycles – Dewey Decimal – LOC Classes – People
It's indented to match the margins on the portal and category browse pages. --Nexus Seven 20:50, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
New merge edit
This template {{Reference pages (header bar)}} should probably be merged here, or at least kept close-watch on and kept synchronous with here, as it has been recently added to a number of top-level pages. --Quiddity 04:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Reference pages (footer box) is a footer template. Reference pages (header bar) is a header template. Because of their differing functions, they're not compatible for a merge, but keeping them synchronized is a good idea. Template:Reference pages (footer box) doesn't work at the top of a page, because it is just too bulky. Template:Reference pages (header bar) works for the pages it is on because it is streamlined. It simply replaced Template:browsebar on those pages when the reference links disappeared from that template. Portals have portal links at the top, reference pages have reference page links - but the bar is placed only upon those pages included in the bar itself, as trying to put it everywhere would be too much work, would cause a big conflict, and would clutter the database. Putting something like this on every page would be useful, but should be done efficiently, without repeating code, in the sidebar on monobook. --Nexus Seven 10:04, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Oppose removing the link to Outline of Knowledge edit
Removing it lacks consensus. The relevant discussion, which involves more than just this template, is located at Portal talk:Contents#Concerning RfC campaigning directly upon the contents User Interface pages.
