Talk:Athletics at the 2006 Commonwealth Games

Splitting

Would anyone object if I split this into more sections? Perhaps track, field, walking, ead events, hurdles/steeplechase? CarlyPalmer 07:22, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the sporting world is moving towards keeping the EAD events within the relevant section, so perhaps they should be kept within track. Chris 08:26, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sections are ok, more subpages are not. To shorten the vertical length of this article we could use columns, which would render this:

shot put men

Medal	Athlete	Distance
Gold	Janus Robberts (RSA)	19.76m
Silver	Dorian Scott (JAM)	19.75m
Bronze	Scott Martin (AUS)	19.48m

shot put women

Medal	Athlete	Distance
Gold	Valerie Vili (NZL)	19.66m
Silver	Vivian Chukwuemeka (NIG)	18.75m
Bronze	Cleopatra Borel-Brown (TRI)	17.54m

To address your second question, hurdles belong under track, and walk/marathon could be classified as road events. Punkmorten 08:30, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough about the sporting classifications, not an expert so just wrote what seemed sensible. It wasn't the vertical-ness of the page that concerned me but easy of navigation and editing. I think I'll wait until we get a few more comments. CarlyPalmer 08:36, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also think many results pages split up into sub-sections by men and women (certainly most of the athletics pages for Olympics and World and European championships pages did the last time I looked at them). They then subdivide this into track and field events (with walks /marathons going into the track section. I think it would be a good idea to look how hose pages do things as they've always seemed easily readable to me and look good. Hopefully this link will work: 2005 World Championships in Athletics.
