Large table

Is this very large table really necessary? Possible ways to avoid it would be some combination of:

Remove the columns for the earlier years which have no entries
Revert to the previous format
Replace e.g. "Member" by "M" etc, preferably with a different background colour for each class of member, and make the headers vertical to save space.

Will probably split into three, by mayoralty, once it is all filled in. MRSC (talk) 14:32, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like a lot of extra work. Also it is less helpful to the user to have the information split between three separate places. Ehrenkater (talk) 07:36, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Table is way too wide. Doesn't fit in the article main area. You should see how this looks on a small mobile screen, accessibility issues. The dates can be combined into a single column.

For the "Cllr Liaquat Ali MBE, JP" row, you could have all of the date columns in a single cell:

00/08 - Member
08/09 - Vice-Chair
09/16 - Member

Tables that are too tall are always better than ones that are too wide. If the layout being like a timeline is absolutely necessary, then split it into 10 year tables or smaller. Jroberson108 (talk) 16:07, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even better, you could split it up into three tables: Chair, Vice-Chair, and Member, with one column for the dates. Jroberson108 (talk) 16:20, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vice-Chair

This is a reminder that Vice-Chair was not given in the sources used for years 2003/04 to 2007/08 so needs to be found separately. MRSC (talk) 07:29, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Only need to find this for 03/04 now. MRSC (talk) 08:06, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
