Forum:SH:Lists

Hey, I am a big fan of presenting much data as good as possible. So I tend to present much data in tables where you can get your basic information as easy and as fast as possible. Since I am especially interested in Jedi and their individual members, I wanted to make a list of all jedi individuums that offers information like their rank, their species, their death and other additional information. To get an overview, to learn something about the Jedi and for much more stuff. So I've asked some people here about lists in the wook but for understandable reasons admins are against them: much work, poor maintenance and poor sourcing are often the case. Also, it's not what many poeple see as the way wookieepedia should present their data. But I also know that I could overcome those obstacles and lists offer some serious advantages over their current represantation in the wiki: categories. Lists offer a cleaner look, show every entry in the category of things (not divided into subcats), offer a way to differentiate between canon and legends, let you see more information than just the name of the article with a quick look and can contain redlinks. I am aware of the fact that I could just create a list of jedi on my own privately but I think wookieepedia is a very good way to share stuff like that. Despite the opinion of the admins I've seen some people here with the desire of having such good lists. Since the admins are against lists, I wanted to open a wider discussion on this topic.
