Template talk:RankedMedalTable

message: Nearly every example of tables using this template left-align the nations column. Is there a way to do this in the template itself? SeveroTC 01:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, that is a limitation of wiki table syntax.  There is no way of specifying (in the header) a style value to be used for an entire column.  I agree that would be helpful!  Andrwsc (talk) 17:31, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

message: See 2007 Pan American Games medal table. When sorting by Gold from fewest to most, it seems odd to me to see Peru (with 4 silver, 8 bronze) to be ranked above (and therefore "worse") than Trinidad and Tobago (with 1 silver, 3 bronze). Same is true when ranking by other medal types, the sub-ordering seems a little odd to me.

replies: text: That has nothing to do with this template; it is the behaviour of the sortable wikitable CSS class. If you want a multi-column sort, you have to order each column in turn, from bottom to top priority.  (e.g. click on bronze first, then silver, then gold)  See :m:Help:Sorting. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 17:28, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

message: The cells containing "Gold", "Silver", "Bronze" are just as much column headers as are the other cells. They should be also marked up with '!' not '|' (i.e. <TH> not <TD>). Once that is done, the "font-weight:bold;" part of the style declaration becomes superfluous and should be removed:
* ! scope="col" style="background:gold; width:;" | Gold
* ! scope="col" style="background:silver; width:;" | Silver
* ! scope="col" style="background:#cc9966; width:;" | Bronze

message: The cells containing "Gold", "Silver", "Bronze" do not have little sort icons next to them.  They are sortable, but need to indicate so.  Please make them consistent with the other column headings. --99of9 (talk) 06:13, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Done It's not a matter of adding sorting icons, it's a matter of not overriding the background image set by the table sorter when setting the background color of the cells. Anomie⚔ 15:29, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Yes, it looks great on en, but most other language copy and paste ready made Templates from en. Aren't we lucky? No! It usually means copying and pasting 30+ (and those rotten docs!!!) Did we really need to change the wheel again? Take a look at the Welsh Wiki (cy) here, please. It means creating 3 templates for 200+ countries = a lot of work. Any cavalries here? Maybe we need a bot to do the job, but my wrist aches just thinking about it! With my tongue in my cheek... Llywelyn2000 (talk) 14:33, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

message: With this template it is not possible to set a table caption, since the |+ should be placed right between the lines this template covers. Therefore, could the following line please be inserted between the second and third line (the one defining class and style, and the one with |-):
:
This adds the optional parameter caption, making it possible to set the table's caption.
An example of the code (that I have tested) can be found at this template's sandbox.  thayts t  13:19, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Building on issues raised during this FLC and looking at the table accessibility features on 2009 Mediterranean Games medal table: There still appear to be some accessibility issues around scoping in this template. Maybe there could be some inclusion of the  functionality within the  one too?  Bill - would you be able to get the visually impaired Hindi user to report their issues with the current template so we can define the problem? Andrwsc would you be able to investigate/assist as you did in previous edits on this template? SFB 20:52, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: He is not active anymore, but I'll leave the message anyway. During the London Games, I had gotten into a dispute with some other user about the accessibility issue. In the meantime, user Anirudh explained on local VP how the new table helped. — Bill william comptonTalk   04:12, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
