[edit] Look of tables

User:Jao, you are right, my change isn't a straight forward one and I was going to change all the pages (10 m, 50 m etc.) to the new style... I have just changed the list of champions too. I have only done the men, now we can compare side-by-side with the women (stil in current style). I think mine looks a bit better organized, because with the old table (of champions) it's not immediately clear what is going on with large empty areas and no borders and different background colours.

I suppose it's just a matter of taste... lemme me know which one looks better and we can revert or I'll change the women's one too (and the other pages)?

Or perhaps we want the one changed (list of champions) and not the other (records)? --Deon Steyn 07:16, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, since I'm the one who originally created these tables, I'm probably not impartial, but I prefer the record tables the way they are, actually. As for the champion tables, your change unfortunately make them a bit longer, but they certainly also make them a good deal more readible, and I think that's more important in this case. So at least for the champion tables (in this and the other articles), I say go ahead. (Also, these tables are missing from most of the articles, and my adding them is a very slow process. If you'd like to help out, please feel free to do so.) -- Jao 07:29, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough, the "records" tables aren't that big and not too serious. I will only convert the women's "champions" table then. While I'm at it, I will reduce these champions table's font size slightly (perhaps to 90/95%) to make them more compact. I have just put the "records" of the 2002 ISSF World Shooting Championships (where you also did good work) article into a wikitable... lemme me know what you think... I will add some thoughts on that dicussion page too.

I just want these pages to look more standardised (with other wiki pages and sports pages like olympics, commonwealth games etc.)

Done converting the "list of champions" tables, I will do the same on other shooting discipline pages now... Deon Steyn 09:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

I have created and added the new infobox Template:Infobox Shooting sport. Let me know what you guys think, I have so far only added it here (where there is a male and female section) and on 25 m Center-Fire Pistol where there is male only (to show the difference). Feel free to add comments and suggestions to the Infobox talk page. -- Deon Steyn 16:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
