[edit] Layout

Should we have 26 tables - one for each letter of the alphabet - or one long table? GiantSnowman 03:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I think different letters might be an idea, but would then make sorting impossible between letters, e.g. if you wanted to find the top 50 appearances / goals for the club or players in an era. Peanut4 22:00, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
I think we should leave it as one long table. GiantSnowman 22:09, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Wow. I never expected such a quick reply! Okay, I'll go with that for the time being and keep on adding more entries as I go on though I think I've now exhausted any players with Wikipedia entries. Peanut4 22:11, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Haha, I try my best! I think if we can add players who don't have articles, then create the articles ourselves? GiantSnowman 22:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Yeah. I've been adding a few articles recently. I've also found a couple of players linked elsewhere - mainly our internationals though there haven't been many!! I certainly intend to use the Terry Frost book to add bios of all the players with bios and all the managers from there. It's a long and slow process. And I'm going to get my McCall autobiography to push that article on. Peanut4 22:47, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
I think we should also change the flags - they make the table too wide. I think we should have something like ENG {{flagicon|ENG}} or {{flagicon|ENG}} ENG - what do you think? GiantSnowman 23:52, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
I think it's okay as it is. I changed it to make in line with other club lists and just used the current wiki templates. I suppose certain individual cases could be changed. Like Ndumbu and Kelly Youga and leave the rest as is. Peanut4 23:57, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flags

I've started a new subject to discuss the flags / nationalities. I've changed Ndumbu's to simply Congo. It is still sortable under Congo, and the link still works. But it does look better. What do you think? Peanut4 23:59, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I've altered Ces Podd's and Kelly Youga's too in the main table. It doesn't make much difference to me on my browser but guess it might to some. Peanut4 00:03, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
It looks miles better, good work. Why not use the following template to give links to national sides rather than the country: {{fb|ENG}} GiantSnowman 00:14, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Nice idea. Will do it pronto. Peanut4 00:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
I've done it and also altered flags in the top section. Peanut4 00:44, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ireland

I've come across the piece of information that Flag of Northern Ireland Northern Ireland and Flag of Ireland Republic of Ireland were previously Flag of Ireland Ireland until 1922. For players before then what would you suggest we do? I'd probably say Flag of Ireland Ireland. Not that I know whether there are any player yet. Peanut4 23:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

If there's a player who played for Flag of Ireland Ireland before 1922 then use that flag. GiantSnowman 12:16, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
