Template talk:Nobel Prize in Economics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Format

Some comments on various formating issues:

Template Name: This should be standardized. I propose Template:Nobel laureates in ... for all boxes.

Header: I propose two separate links: Nobel (Memorial) Prize in ... linking to the main entry, then colon, then Laureates link to the list of laureates in the discipline

Year: This should precede the list of laureates, since it's sorted by year not laureates. I also recommend removing the visual clutter (parentheses and vertical lines) and go with a simple colon. Proposed format: 72: Hicks·Arrow

Separators: I'm ambivalent between commas and the alt-0183 dot. The dot has the advantage that it keeps all laureates within one year in a single line. The comma is the established form. I removed all and's since "and" has a specific meaning in Nobel Prizes (sharing vs. splitting) which isn't reflected in this list. ~ trialsanderrors 20:14, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Updates: I ditched the alt-0183 dot in favor of commas throughout. I'm fine with changing years to non-bold, I checked it and it looks good. I'll also adopt the format with the highlighting. What about colors? I suggest one distinctive color for the headers. The one I used comes close to the bronze the [nobel.se] site uses. I'm also considering creating a Nobel laureates info box. ~ trialsanderrors 08:36, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Also, I added two boxes to Marie Curie's entry and I don't think they're too intrusive. That's about the worst case scenario there is, two boxes with ~100 entries each. So I think we're fine setting the defalut to show. ~ trialsanderrors 08:37, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
