To do / suggestions

Stick any suggestions for the wiki here.

So far, this is what we're considering:

• Some kind of WYSIWYG editor for wiki markup to make it quicker to enter the results in tables.
  • The WYSIWYG Extension itself may be able to handle our tables.
  • The FCKeditor by Mafs may also be able to handle tables.

I guess a to do list would be a great idea in order to help prioritize what needs doing next. Chris williamson 22:19, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Well, I was thinking that we should try to work on the 2011 and 2010 seasons, and all the relevant drivers and constructors, then do 2009... then start from 2000 and work our way up to meet 2009. This is so that the commentary team have some decent way of quickly looking up stats and facts for the recent seasons.

In fact, we could do 2008 pretty quickly too, probably!

Maybe we should each pick a year/league and concentrate on it so that we don't try editing the same page at the same time as someone else. Everyone else could then check facts, tidy, amend etc, after the bulk of the work on the page has been done. There seems to be three of us who have been .. shall we say more addicted? lol! Yourself, Joe and me.

I also thought maybe we should put a tag on some of the pages to indicate, to the commentary team particularly, that they are incomplete or possibly inaccurate, and remove the tag once the page is finished and verified. I'm pretty sure I ballsed up on your Nijo team, for example, Chris! When you or Tom or whoever, filled in for other drivers.

We should also note that no driver owns his article entry! Possessiveness is probably not a good idea. User pages, fine, but all the other pages belong to all of us.

Any suggestions for layout are very welcome.

We should also have a page somewhere where we can note changes made to templates. For example, I think Mark or someone edited a template for the drivers infobox, which broke the layout on the article about me. I changed one of the templates recently too, to include the number of podiums, though I think I fixed all the constructors' pages after that. I could protect the template pages from editing of course, and any changes could be suggested.

We should also probably decide on what information we want in those types of templates. I don't know why Mark changed the drivers one, though I could guess he either didn't have that information or thought the infobox was too long.

Anyway, that's all I've got by way of suggestions at the minute! We should indeed keep a work list somewhere. --Mal mckee 10:59, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

I don't mind having a go at 2009 stuff if you guys don't mind. Yes I am addicted... --Joe consiglio
