Revision as of 14:21, 9 October 2022

Tables should be sorted at some pages

Examples: Duster#Material_table, Parka#Material_table.

I would consider removing the templates and sort things manually if this isn't possible with MediaWiki... Pawn (talk) 12:04, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

What? It is sorted alphabetically be material? Harakoni (Wiki Moderator) (talk) 12:07, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
I don't mean alphabetically.
Sort by heat insulation for Duster and cold insulation for Parka.

You can do that by left clicking on the headings. All the columns are sortable. Harakoni (Wiki Moderator) (talk) 13:36, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
I know this. Tables should be presorted and users shouldn't click anything to the see the most sensible sorting for some topic.
MediaWiki wasn't great long time ago in this regard.

The template could be changed to make it sorted in other ways, or sorted based on the specific item or class of item its called for, or it can be manually set for each or specific pages. However, there is no point in making it inconsistent across pages when different items will have different nominal "important stats" especially when a reader may not have the same priorities as you or may just want to check the stats of a specific item. For example, you identify heat insulation as the important stat for Dusters, but for a large part of the player base dusters are used primarily as additional armor over a flak vest and sorting by sharp armor would be ideal for them. Its better to just let the reader sort how they like and be consistent when they don't Harakoni (Wiki Moderator) (talk) 14:13, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
I see no problem with having more than one table which are presorted in a sensible way.
These tables had 5 columns at most so 5 tables isn't too crazy in my opinion. Pawn (talk) 14:21, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
