Working attempt to re-design the Sets navbox.
The main problems:
- With no further card frame changes, the M15 frame box will continue to grow indefinitely.
- The number of supplemental releases is increasing and that area of the navbox is becoming a mess.
- Now with Universes Beyond sets becoming Standard-legal, the groupings don't necessarily connect like they used to.
Working questions:
- What does this track? All product releases? All releases not covered by other navboxes?
- Why is Limited Edition a Core set? Shouldn't it be an expansion?
- A: It's the Core set, before expansions even existed.
- Bonus sheets - should they be in or out?
- A: Out. They're only supplemental to the set. The Big Score is an exception that's already handled.
- Weirdo sets like The Big Score or the Foundations Starter Collection commander cards, should they be subsets (i.e. in brackets)?
- A: Yes.
- Should the Universes Beyond sets be included? All? Just the Standard-legal ones?
- How deep does the navbox go on supplemental sets? Should every Masters set be listed?
What are the possible navbox divisions:
- Card frame changes (currently used) — Old border, post-8th, M15.
- Boosters — pre-15 card, 15-card, 14-card.
- Formats — Legacy, Modern, Pioneer.
- Design — Limited Edition (Alpha) through Alliances; Mirage through Prophecy; Invasion through Saviors of Kamigawa; Ravnica: City of Guilds through Rise of the Eldrazi; Scars of Mirrodin through Rivals of Ixalan; Dominaria through Innistrad: Crimson Vow; Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty through present.
- Blocks — pre-block, blocks, 3-1 model, 2-2 model, 4-0 model.
- Rules — pre-6th, 6th, 10th.
- Years — group by decade? Group by non-standard years (so the areas of some other method can be tracked)?
- Some other division method.

Wiki SEO changes
The folowing designs are supposed to be temporary and are designed to help the new MTG Wiki gain SEO ground against the old Fandom version.
Chronology - most recent first
No other changes, just putting the M15 frame group at the top and the Classic frame at the bottom.
Redesign?
By frame — comprehensive
By era — decade
Because the Magic year is not the same as a calandar year, this is going to split up blocks. (e.g. Invasion is in the 1993-2000 era while Planeshift and Apocalypse are in the 2001-2010 era.) Alternativly we could do Magic years until 2026 but then that's not a full decade.
By era — design
Which breakdown of design eras would I even go with? The most recent? The smallest number?
By era — format
Hmmm... maybe...? The supplemental sets are still messy and the "Play era" is just something I made up (but seems a logical place to split for the younger-than-Pioneer format that will eventually pop up).
Big ol' box
This navbox is just to allow me to modify the sections easily. Just ignore it.
