 ::::Something like [http://i.imgur.com/NrmJ8q9.png this]. Compact, able to collapse it. We'd be able to color the premium/event medals if we decide to, too. Instead of having a million navbars, we'd only need a few. -[[User:Rikki21|'''<span style="font-family:Script MT;color:#B452CD">Rikki</span>]][[User talk:Rikki21|<span style="color:#FF0066">21</span>]]''' 15:33, 8 June 2016 (PDT)
 :::::Alternatively, we could use [[wikiversity:Help:Mouse-over|mouse-over]] text to say whether it's an event or premium medal. Or both color and mouse-over. That way, users can simply mouse-over the different color'd links and see that it's an event/premium medal. I don't think it'll work on mobile, but that's not a reason not to have it. As long as it doesn't completely break the page on mobile, it should be fine. -[[User:Rikki21|'''<span style="font-family:Script MT;color:#B452CD">Rikki</span>]][[User talk:Rikki21|<span style="color:#FF0066">21</span>]]''' 15:52, 8 June 2016 (PDT)
+::::::Definitely agree on the mouseover, but as far as organizing by attribute instead of number, we don't have anywhere else on the wiki organizing by number -- not even a category or table page -- and the number is the biggest part of what's dividing the sets, and the medals are already sorted by attribute in the respective categories. If we're using a mouseover to highlight event/premium vs. normal, why don't we use the font color to highlight attribute, and remove the symbols as well?
+::::::Collapsible is already coded into the new-form navboxes, we just need to get the wikicode updated to make it work. I'm not really sure how the wikipedia version is "more open to customization" -- we're already designing the navboxes using basic coding, rather than routing them through another template, so we can make them look however we want.
+::::::I'm agreeable to removing the ID, if we're keeping them in numerical order -- the biggest issue I had that lead me to reorganize them this way was because it was difficult to tell what the gaps in my album were. Removing the IDs will make it ''slightly'' more difficult for a reader to pinpoint the gap, but still doable.
+::::::If the categories aren't acceptable for organizing by attribute, I'd like to propose four alternatives:
+#Sort the categories by medal number. This will ''only'' work for the English number, or Japanese number in absense of English number -- readers trying to identify a medal in the Japanese game that has already been localized will be out of luck, and since eventually all medals will be released in English, it will be totally useless to them.
+#Re-examine whether "sets" are even a meaningful concept -- each set already works in a wave of smaller releases (we have more than one album expansion per "set"), and it may be more prudent to simply organize by ''those'', not by month.
+#Replace the navboxes on the Medal page with a central directory of Medals, with each column sortable so a reader can search by different parameters. We'd probably only have basic stats like Name, Image, ID, Attributes, and Special Attack, tho, not any of the deeper stats like Strength or Damage.
+#Code the navboxes to be able to flip between both versions. I ''believe'' there is a way to do this kind of tab/collapsible hybrid without it standing out like tabs do, but I'd have to research the code.
+::::::I really think it's important to have ''some'' way of organizing the medals by number, whether we do that in the navboxes or elsewhere.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] ([[User talk:KrytenKoro|talk]]) 06:02, 9 June 2016 (PDT)
