Annie Award for Best Animated Home Entertainment Production edit

After finishing Annie Award for Best Animated Video Game for the FLC contest, I wrote this up. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 07:40, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't particularily like the formatting of the table. I think you've made it more cumbersome to read just so it could be sortable. There are some cases where sortability just doesn't work and this is one of those. I would prefer to see each year just have one row (using rowspan), that way it would be easier to see which were nominated in a certain year. Admittedly, the sorting is helpful, but I don't think it adds much here since no film can be nominated more than once. I would prefer to see it formatted more like this, with the result column removed and extra thick lines added at the bottom of each year to make things easier to see. -- Zombie Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:48, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree on the sorting part. The downsides to sorting only appears when you get too much redundancy (for instance, List of Nobel Laureates in Chemistry, in which I agreed with your assessment that the table shouldn't be sortable due to the excessive redundancy and mirrored at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Nobel Laureates in Economics), and here, the benefit to sorting (sort winners, studio, directors), outweighs the redundancy in having multiple year columns. That said, I added thicker lines to divide the years up. Is that sufficient? — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 23:09, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Add a brief sentence or phrase to the lead that describes what ASIFA-Hollywood is.

Best Home Video Production,[3], was

Extra comma

My opinion would be to have "Won" instead of "Won Annie Award"

Prefer the full text myself. See List of submissions to the 79th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 02:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the color of the fields in that column be partnered with a text indicator, like * or † ?

I don't see how that's necessary with the color. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 02:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:COLOR: Ensure that colour is not the only way used to convey important information. Especially, do not use coloured text unless its status is also indicated using another method such as italic emphasis or footnote labels. Otherwise, blind users or readers accessing Wikipedia through a printout or device without a colour screen will not receive that information.

There's text clearly indicating what is meant in that cell. This line in WP:COLOR only applies in cases in which color is the only identifier. This is not the case. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 22:38, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(reply to SatyrTN) But in this case, the color is associated with text ("Nominee" or "Won Annie Award"). In other words, the color doesn't even need to be there, it is used for contrast. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:36, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The redlink for Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker can be fixed

The "Year" column needs to make use of the {{sort}} function so that sorting returns the list in the original order. For instance, {{sort|1995-a|[[1995 in film|1995]]}}, {{sort|1995-b|[[1995 in film|1995]]}}, {{sort|1995-c|[[1995 in film|1995]]}} would be the entries for The Gate to the Mind’s Eye, Opéra Imaginaire, and The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure. And go from there :)

Fixed. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 02:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Having said that, shouldn't each year be sorted to have the winner first, followed by the other nominees sorted by title?

Was supposed to already do that, but fixed now. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 02:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because the table is sortable, the Studio entries need to be linked in all instances.

The non-linked ones are redlinks. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 02:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't they still be linked? There are red-links in the other columns.

I ~~Conditionally~~ Support this candidate. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 19:48, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
