Sortable tables

Please hold off on modifying the tables, at least for now. I'm not sure that would be compatible with rowspans. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:54, 19 February 2015 (EST)

Idk what you really mean, it appears to work fine here. It doesn't group them together when they're sorted, but they stay that way by default, and it simply duplicates entries when they are separated by sorting.

What exactly is supposed to be the precedent for tables when multiple characters in a single film use the same weapon? Should you use rowspan or not? I spent a lot of time merging the entries in the 1903 article but that was also reverted by you in addition to the table change. I'm putting back the addition but I'm leaving the multi character entries as is until someone specifies if rowspan should be used. S3anyBoy (talk) 17:41, 19 February 2015 (EST)

I hadn't noticed, I'm sorry. Personally, I would prefer sortable tables, but that's not up to me. As for rowspan or not, I'm not sure if there's a set policy. --Funkychinaman (talk) 17:55, 19 February 2015 (EST)

Alright, thanks S3anyBoy (talk) 18:33, 19 February 2015 (EST)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Sorting#Tables_with_complex_datarows

"Tables can have cells spanning multiple rows, using |rowspan=n. (See Help:rowspan).

The number of rows must be indicated with each use of rowspan. Before any sorting can be done, the rowspan setup must be correct. An incorrect rowspan organisation breaks sorting option, leaving incorrect data. In a sortable table, |rowspan=n and colspan=m can not be combined in the body of a table."

So as long as the table uses only rowspan and not rowspan and colspan together it can be sortable without issue. S3anyBoy (talk) 16:48, 20 February 2015 (EST)

No...

I'm not stopping you having an opinion, I'm saying this is not the place for publicising it. There are plenty of political forums if you wish to debate whether Che was a bad guy or America is mean. I used to moderate one of them, and I do not intend for that to happen to me again. Evil Tim (talk) 22:11, 20 February 2015 (EST)

So what is allowed on my talk page?

"Communism will win" or "#fullcommunism" okay with you my holy Czar? S3anyBoy (talk) 22:20, 20 February 2015 (EST)

Well, I'd rather you avoided politics. Or, you know, had some fun with it. If you want to stick a red star banner up there and declare yourself vice-commissar of the people's edit I won't stop you, I just don't want people with user pages that are clearly trying to wind people up and cause discussions we'd rather people not have on our little patch of the internet.
