Regarding showing part of the list uncollapsed, I can see that being helpful but would it be preferable to determine that on relevant articles rather than having the texts be expanded by default universally? Expanding the texts automatically is helpful on articles like <a href="/wiki/Corpus_Hermeticum" title="Corpus Hermeticum">Corpus Hermeticum</a> but it may be more helpful to expand a different list on, for example, biographical articles. On some articles it may even be better to not expand anything, like stubs or Hermeticism-related sections of broader articles. I know of other sidebars with the option I'm suggesting and it shouldn't be hard to implement.</li></ul> <dl><dd>Also, thinking about it, isn't "related historical figures" a bit redundant? (Why list <i>unrelated</i> figures? Aren't "ancient/medieval/early modern" figures historical by definition?) Could simplify the headings to these list titles: "Ancient and medieval figures" and "Early modern figures". The "Hermetica" heading is also redundant. With some simplification, the top-border styles could be moved from headings to list titles, which would make the mercury symbol unnecessary.</dd> <dd>If we agree on my suggestions, it would free up some room for another collapsed list; could make it a "related topics" list which could included the arts (which were cut) but also other articles that otherwise don't fit well into the existing lists, like <a href="/wiki/Hermetism_and_other_religions" title="Hermetism and other religions">Hermetism and other religions</a> and <a href="/wiki/Great_Work_(Hermeticism)" title="Great Work (Hermeticism)">Great Work (Hermeticism)</a>. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Scyrme" title="User:Scyrme">Scyrme</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Scyrme" title="User talk:Scyrme">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Hermeticism#c-Scyrme-2021-12-29T02:40:00.000Z-Recent_changes" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:40, 29 December 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Scyrme-2021-12-29T02:40:00.000Z-Recent_changes"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Scyrme-2021-12-29T02:40:00.000Z-Recent_changes"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Apaugasma-2021-12-29T15:58:00.000Z-Scyrme-2021-12-29T02:40:00.000Z"></span>Hi Scyrme! Yes, implementing an option to set the expanded section on the level of the article would be better. Given my rather limited template-editing skills, I guess that there's a bit of a gap between what I would <i>like</i> this template to look like and what I <i>can make</i> it look like.</dd> <dd>I used the word "related" in order to give expression to the fact that most of these figures were not major Hermetic thinkers (these would be the authors of the <a href="/wiki/Hermetica" title="Hermetica">Hermetic writings</a> themselves, who were all anonymous) but rather were independent thinkers who merely took some inspiration here and there from an often very limited set of Hermetic texts. But this kind of nuance isn't really needed, and probably gets lost anyway, so I support your proposal to simplify to "Ancient and medieval figures" and "Early modern figures" if that is helpful.</dd> <dd>Like the Mercury symbol (<a href="/wiki/%E2%98%BF" class="mw-redirect" title="☿">☿</a>), I added the extra "Hermetica" heading in order to create a dividing line between that section and the section with the image above it. If there's another way to create these lines, that would be great (again my limited skills playing up), but I do think these lines create a sense of order that is very important in templates like these. Perhaps that sense of order can be created in other ways, so feel free to play around a bit, but if that doesn't work out I do think the lines should stay.</dd> <dd>I'm not sure about adding an additional "Related topics" list. If we do, it should probably replace the 'Modern offshoots' list. But my concern is that there are not too many great articles to link to. The 'arts' (<a href="/wiki/Astrology" title="Astrology">astrology</a>, <a href="/wiki/Alchemy" title="Alchemy">alchemy</a> and <a href="/wiki/Magic_(supernatural)" title="Magic (supernatural)">magic</a>) are really much broader subjects that barely mention Hermes or Hermeticism. <a href="/wiki/Hermetism_and_other_religions" title="Hermetism and other religions">Hermetism and other religions</a> is a borderline-<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:OR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:OR">OR</a> article that is a bit of a mess and that should probably either be merged into <a href="/wiki/Hermeticism" title="Hermeticism">Hermeticism</a> or deleted. <a href="/wiki/Great_Work_(Hermeticism)" title="Great Work (Hermeticism)">Great Work (Hermeticism)</a> does not cite any <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RS">reliable sources</a>, and I have serious questions as to the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:N" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:N">notability</a> of this subject (perhaps another one to send to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:AFD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AFD">AfD</a>, but I don't have either the time or the inclination at this point to do a proper <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BEFORE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BEFORE">WP:BEFORE</a>). However, if you think it's helpful to have an additional "Related topics" list I see no major reason to oppose it.

I've made the changes I suggested, and moved the top-border to the titles. If you'd rather there be no line between the two lists of historical figures, I'm fairly sure I can selectively remove the line between them without adding headings.

The names can actually be made different to the displayed titles, but for ease of use I've set the names to be the same as the title text.</dd> <dd>I haven't added "related topics" yet. Those particular articles were just the examples that came to mind first; I'm not particularly attached to the idea of including them.
