I'm taking a partial wikibreak. I'm not engaging on talk pages for a while and especially on things concerning naming conventions. I may still edit in some spaces during this time.

Just wanted to say thanks for adding this tag to all the talk pages on the World Champs, must remember to do this myself...Thaf (talk) 07:38, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Is there a consensus of which I'm not aware?

I strongly prefer to use {{flagicon}} rather than {{flagathlete}} on the Vuelta pages, if only because it {{flagathlete}} causes the tables, when they're side-by-side, to become squished and malformed on my (and presumably others') screen. Don't fall asleep ^zzzzzz 21:26, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

WP:FLAGS says you shouldn't just use flags, for a number of reasons, primarily because flags can be difficult to see at low resolutions when all squished, people might not know them so it helps to give more clues, plus it helps blind people or colour blind people. It also provides the link to the country which makes the use relevant, not just decorative (which is viewed as bad in wiki-land). That's why we have {{flagathlete}}.

So am I doomed to squished boxes, then? That sucks. Don't fall asleep ^zzzzzz 21:31, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

You could play around with other aspects, for sure (such as reducing font size of team - but I would oppose reducing team names to three letter codes as it's overuse of jargon - or reducing the size of the whole table to 90% say). I was actually thinking of thrashing out a style guide for race pages so we can get a bit more uniformity on it all. Severo^TC 21:37, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I got it! If we eliminate the "Rank" label on the leftmost cell, the charts aren't so wide that they become malformed. Do you suppose it's okay to do this? Pretty obvious what that cell is for without the label. Don't fall asleep ^zzzzzz 21:51, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeh, that looks fine. In fact, I think it looks better, "Rank" made that column very wide considering the next widest value was "10". Severo^TC 21:54, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Image size

Would you know how to decrease the size of the image used in Template:UK-motorcycle-sport-bio-stub?Orsoni (talk) 04:42, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
