Part of the reason I like the idea of tables is that I think it will encourage us to SORT movies on gun/actor pages, which is a much better and more organized way of doing things.

: I would sort by date as you can see when the weapon came in to use and on the actors page the weapons used over their career from beginning to end. The many thing is to get to a standard as soon as possible so we don't have pages done then have to redo them. -[[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

As I've made clear, I really like the box column style template (sample #2), so my vote of course goes to that. You have to fill in every column with something though or else the columns have holes in them that look bad. So if an actor is unknown put "Unknown" in and if there are no notes, put "None" in that column. I think the whole reverse chronological order makes sense, since it is also how IMDb organizes their movies. To see examples of the format I prefer in use, see [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series]] (although some boxes were emptied and my computer crapped out before I could fix them) for a gun page and [[Jeffrey Dean Morgan]] for an example of an actor page. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

::I pretty much agree with what we've been doing (box style and dates going in reverse chronological order, not like on the [[Steyr AUG]] page).

Sorting

Part of the reason I like the idea of tables is that I think it will encourage us to SORT movies on gun/actor pages, which is a much better and more organized way of doing things. I think we should arrange all tables by the date of the movie/TV show/video game/whatever, and then by title. Though maybe titles would be simpler, but what do you guys think? -MT2008 02:24, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I would sort by date as you can see when the weapon came in to use and on the actors page the weapons used over their career from beginning to end. The many thing is to get to a standard as soon as possible so we don't have pages done then have to redo them. -Phoenixent

Narrowing Down

As I've made clear, I really like the box column style template (sample #2), so my vote of course goes to that. You have to fill in every column with something though or else the columns have holes in them that look bad. So if an actor is unknown put "Unknown" in and if there are no notes, put "None" in that column. I think the whole reverse chronological order makes sense, since it is also how IMDb organizes their movies. To see examples of the format I prefer in use, see SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series (although some boxes were emptied and my computer crapped out before I could fix them) for a gun page and Jeffrey Dean Morgan for an example of an actor page. - Gunmaster45
