"New format" tables

Stumbling across this page (and ignorant of almost all things football or Welsh) I was bemused by the weird tables with huge, empty right-hand columns. Investigation in the page history shows the tables were created with these edits from October 2021 by User:Geordiewomble, summarized as "New Format".

Since then, the columns have never been filled, and the column heading, "Change from 2020-21", seems not only currently out of date but destined to require constant maintenance and fastidious sourcing, or else be perpetually unhelpful. Further, the "Key" (coded as a table, sort of) above suggests the "Change" column was intended to display only colours, which goes against accessibility guidelines, and making it the widest (37%) of all the columns is just one more nail in the coffin for me.

I can change the width (for example, to 0%, heh) and remove the Key thing, but I thought I'd wait to give Geordiewomble or other editors a chance to argue for retention. If we delete that column, we could maybe also do something about the small font-size. But first, let's talk about content, and what the page should show. — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 07:15, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, John.
Many thanks for the notification - the richt column is there to indicate changes of Division (Promotion, Relegation or Tranfer), and you have correctly pointed out that I neglected to amend the "Change From" year, that is entirely my fault. They have a larger size because the informatrion provided can be quite large (as in "Promoted from Western League Premier Division West"), so it could easily be reduced in size by way of removing the words Promoted, Relegated etc) - the only other reason the column is blank currently is because of Covid and not being in a position to fully update it. I hold my hand up to that, I have had rather major personal concerns that have interfered. Geordiewomble (talk) 14:26, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
