Talk:Athletics at the 2006 Commonwealth Games

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

text: 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====
{| class="wikitable"	                    	
Medal 	Athlete             	Distance
Gold  	Janus Robberts (RSA)	19.76m
Silver	Dorian Scott (JAM)  	19.75m
Bronze	Scott Martin (AUS)  	19.48m
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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text: 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.
