[edit] Table

I find the table completely unreadable because of the tiny size of the print and the clashing colours of the bars and text. Can someone please redo it? Acsenray 18:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

The font is a limitation of the m:EasyTimeline extension. The colors are based on a team's colors. Font colors for links cannot be changed. kelvSYC 03:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

How about just using plain white bars instead of team colors? Come one, there has to be some way to make it more readable.Acsenray 14:43, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Or pastel colors, as used in the sample page for EasyTimeline? And all caps for the team names. Acsenray 14:45, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

All cpas is a breach of netiquette - it would be reverted as vandalism if it is done. kelvSYC 04:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Are you pulling my leg? We're talking about a table here, not text. I can't believe that you're suggesting that there is absolutely nothing that can be done to fix this ugly, incomprehensible table. Better not to have it at all, really, than to keep it in this condition.Acsenray 13:50, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Again, these are the limitations of the m:EasyTimeline extension, and can't be easily changed without rewriting the extension itself. You could change the colors, but again you'd lose that "individual team" thing... kelvSYC 20:19, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I took it upon myself to fix the table to make it look much better. Font and bars increased in size, and I worked around many bugs in the m:EasyTimeline extension (most notably the ugly textual links). Each bar now represents a link rather than the text, which was a significant source of the ugliness before. Hope you like it. Buzzfledderjohn 19:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
