So, is there a way to keep this format and still add in the
animal fiber
article? There is an equivalent for
vegetable fibers
too.

- They're both natural fibers, so maybe you could add
'''[[Animal fiber]]'''{{·w}} '''[[Fiber crop|Vegetable fiber]]'''<br/>
between {{nowrap begin}} and [[Alpaca fiber|Alpaca]] in list1; otherwise a "below" line might be preferable -- try adding this between the end of list2 and the }}<noinclude> line:
|belowstyle = background:#e7dac1;
|below = [[Animal fiber]]{{·}} [[Fiber crop|Vegetable fiber]]

- Would it be considered bad form to do something like this in the 'Natural' section?
Animal fiber
: Alpaca, angora.....
Vegetable fiber
: list of vegetable fibers...
Mineral fiber
: Asbestos, and others...
- Thanks muchly for the help.

I believe
Vinalon
, although not very popular, should be part of the synthetic fiber list. It is one of the first synthetic (possibly the second, right behind Nylon) fiber yet I don't understand why it still isn't in the template.

I think this template should have another category (and Wikipedia ahould have another article), though I do not have the expertise to do it. Rayon, viscose, (and many other names for essentially the same product) are generally not described as synthetic - they are
man-made
or
artificial
cellulosic fibres. (The Wikipedia article on rayon calls it semi-synthetic). These fibres are made from wood or other plant material, some from bamboo, the material is pulped and fibre, still containing the plant cells, is constituted from it. This is (I believe) quite different from synthetic fibres, which are plastics made from oil. [ Is there an issue in WP with sexist language like
man-made
? Do we need to use the rather ugly
human-made
?]

So, the article
bamboo fibre
is not about the fiber in the sense that flax is, but is about reconstituted bamboo, like rayon. Rayon is in the 'synthetic' category. If we want to put this bamboo fiber there, we have bamboo in two places then-I'd suggest changing the link in the 'natural' section to the actual plant page. Do we call both links bamboo? That's what I've done temporarily, since I can't think of a better solution. On a separate note, and to echo above, maybe we should have a cellulose fiber section for modal, rayon and this bamboo fiber article? We could also include soy silk, seacell and others. They are still natural in their way-not plastic, and it would be more accurate I feel to have a separate section.

- I've gone ahead and done that, I think. I'm not sure I got all the ones we have articles on, or that I sorted them right though, so feel free double check. I'm going to start a general article on cellulose fibers in moments.

Should we align and correct the margins the two subgroups of this template? It looks like having a big bend after the subgroup synthetic mineral to natural cellulose.

I learned of
ixtle
today while reading about
Agave
and was wondering how it differed from
sisal
. I found this nice template on the
sisal
page, and thought it would be helpful for this template to also appear on the
ixtle
page.
