Section hierarchy depth

My rationale for having only two section levels has been to avoid a very deep section hierarchy which leads to small-character/indistinguishable sub(sub(sub))section headings for most combinations of web browsers and text size settings. --Wernher 01:01, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Flags and tables

I think we need to do the inclusion of national flags in the tables in another way than the one which has been used up till now, for two reasons: 1) the loading time for the article is soon becoming far too long (unless anyone can tell me otherwise?), and 2) the standard way of including flags is by using templates like these and others:  Sweden,  Finland,  Norway,  Russia.*

Talking about 'standards', I think we should also use the Prettytable template for the tables. The tables will need to be converted to the Wikimedia table format, I guess. Please do not add more flags until we have settled these issues. Examples of 'standard' sports results tables can be found in 2005 World Championships in Athletics*.  --Wernher 01:07, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

(* However, allow me to suggest that we probably don't need full nation names everywhere in the listings in this article, since the number of nationalities of top-notch Nordic skiing contestants is very small compared to world class contestants in athletics and other popular summer sports. I therefore propose we make do with a flag icon and an IOC code; the latter could link to the country if deemed necessary. --Wernher.)

Hm. Dunno if you still care about this, but anyway. I just cleaned up an IP address addition to this page - I've added some stuff before as well. Personally, I like the format I've used (naturally! :D ) for things like Nordic_skiing_World_Championships#Double_Pursuit, although that of course has the disadvantage that you have to know the flags first. I like your idea as well, but maybe write the nation names out in full for the relays and team competitions? Sam Vimes 19:30, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
