Changing the list to a sortable table for winter 2011-12[edit]

Editing and rendering this page becomes quite cumbersome when the amount of transfers grows larger towards the end of the transfer window. I personally prefer the sortable table used in England and most other countries. How about using it (or something similar) for the next transfer window in 2011-12? Any opinions on that from recently most active editors Sir Sputnik, Hilfemann and ArtVandelay13 or anyone else? Kq-hit (talk) 11:13, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Split in half due to length?[edit]

Split - Split in half (or more) due to length?--Jax 0677 (talk) 23:05, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What would really make sense, much more than splitting off every club, is just cut it in half. Easy to implement as well since there are two sections, first and second division. Just like List of USL Pro transfers 2012 and List of Major League Soccer transfers 2012 instead of List of USA soccer transfers 2012 or some such. C 679 19:59, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Reply - Keep in mind that this will not get the article under 100 kB.--Jax 0677 (talk) 23:09, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Using | style="text-align: right;" and | style="text-align: center;" a total of 1,887 times in the pre-split list is a huge waste of around 50KB, if you are bothered about page size and/or loading time. C 679 12:06, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting the list up by club makes very little sense when you consider that all but two of the Bundesliga clubs and several of the 2. Bundesliga clubs already have season articles for 2011-12 in which these transfers are mentioned, and that such articles would be notable for the clubs that don't have them yet. The value of this list not so much listing each of the individual transfers, but listing all of them together in one place. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:17, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Jax 0677 seems to have a vendetta against large articles merely because they are large. You shouldn't split articles just because they are large, especially if the size is unavoidable due to the nature of the article. – Pee Jay 23:59, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - per PeeJay. – Michael (talk) 18:49, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, but that's BS, pure BS, and it must be coming from someone in the first world with a high-speed internet connection. No one else could read this, let alone edit it. Drmies (talk) 20:25, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Size matters[edit]

I cut 10k by removing the flags (which violated MOS:FLAG). More can be saved by simple economy: instead of wikilinking every position ("FW"), the table could simply have "FW" with a legend. Common sense. Drmies (talk) 20:24, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
