Track Infobox
Right. I've spent a lot of time looking at these things and was wondering about maybe tweaking them up to make them more appearance pretty. Okay, I figure someone does it because I don't know enough about Wiki code to pull this one off yet. This is going to be a it of a speech, so grab a coffee!
For me - the boxes seem a bit too big. At least the text does when you compare them to the Wikipedia track boxes. I think we discussed this before, Chris, whereby we both used the Spa layout of the box as a good example of what to aim for - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_de_Spa-Francorchamps ; particularly as in some cases where multiple layouts have been used. It might just make things cleaner on it. For example, do we really need a lap count? Particularly for tracks that may be used in multiple series.
Things such as first winner; most wins and such could easily be listed in the main body of text like has been done in other lists. It would help to fill out that page as I assume there is little point in us copy/pasting stuff from Wiki to fill out what the track is like.
Thoughts? -- Philip Cullen
- All valid points I think Philip - perhaps a move closer to the wikipedia boxes would make it look a little tidier, although as always the devil is in the detail. I'd say keep the main points like track map, Location, Length, Number of turns and first held and add a field for the events held there (SL/SC/Masters etc). The others like time zone(?), lap record, laps, most wins etc probably would be better in the main text like you suggest.
- As said before the multiple layouts are going to cause headaches, but can probably be done with separate templates for those tracks with a single layout, 2 layouts, 3 layouts etc. --Chris williamson 11:57, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
