[edit] Table layout

Personally I am not keen on this format of the table, it is just confusing to look at the table and see the points column at the start of the table than in there more traditional place towards the end of the table after the goal difference column, also the labelling of the columns is confusing to me too as when i look at the table I look for what I term a traditional layout with GD meaning Goal Difference and P meaning Games played, anyone else think the same? --shanda 22:05, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Precisely. The % column is so American.  Slumgum T. C.   00:19, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm actually in favour of the % column, I find it an interesting statistic meaning that if a few games have been missed for whatever reason you can look at the percentage column and compare to see where a team might be in the table on the current form. I do realize it doesn't fit in with a traditional table for English leagues but I find it a welcome addition personally. --shanda 00:38, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok. The headings can change but I think the points column first shows the importants of the points. Kingjeff 00:45, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree the points column is important hence why you've bolded them, but looking at the table just at a glance I associate the first column with games played instantly. --shanda 10:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

The only difference is where the points column is. I figure that most people would want ranking and points to be the most noticable. Kingjeff 12:03, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

  • I like the percentage column as it shows team form. The points column belongs on the right in line with standard convention and traditional practice so it should be moved. It's simply not normal. It's confusing in its present position at left. 66.162.99.17 22:53, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
  • The points really should be at the right hand side.

I just used the tables that are used it the overal season articles, the look pretty good, and it meant I didn't have to type out all of the states again. Gran2 20:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Other stuff relating to a uniform article

There are more issues then just the tables. What else can be included to the article format? Kingjeff 22:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
