Suggestions

I like the way the article is done. Great job!
But I still have one little problem (for lack of a better word). I still believe the "Promotion and relegation from 2007–08" section could fall under the "Team overview" section. It keeps everything about the teams in one section. You can even write that list as prose (but that's optional).
One other change would probably be to incorporate a "Home city" column into the club information table. There are some teams that do not play in a stadium in their home city (like Ecuadorian club ESPOLI), or because their home city is not easily identifiable through the club's name.

I would put a home city column and if the team plays it's games home games in a stadium in another city, I would add in a footnote. --MicroX (talk) 07:39, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Google Chrome

I have been using Google Chrome recently to edit and I have noticed that the fb tables don't display some borderlines. I have taken some screenshots of the problem.

• League table screenshot
• Group A screenshot
• Group B screenshot

Also for 4-team groups like Groups A, B and C, wouldn't it be better just to display the matches individually with the date like in FIFA World Cup articles but without the scoring/booking details instead of the 5x5 table of results. --MicroX (talk) 03:48, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't think those lines show up on purpose since it doesn't show up on Safari either. I'm for box scores for all-round for consistancy, unless the games are too few in number (about 1-5 games). Anything else add some info that isn't really needed. Besides, that number of games is usually just concentrated to finals, and finals use the regular footballbox.

Open it up in Mozilla Firefox and you'll see that the borders are there. Meaning Chrome and Safari have some kind of error when displaying Wikipedia --MicroX (talk) 08:20, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Regarding that displaying error - I guess it is a combination of the Q/R column being added to the league table as a separate entity and the ability of certain browsers to handle certain (X)HTML tags. There would not be a problem if the whole league table would be generated as a single entity. This could be tackled by introducing a (yet another) new template, let's call it Template:Fb table, which would be able to handle all needed data (I think of something with a similar structure as {{Location map+}}). This new template, if introduced, should then gradually replace all instances of the old Fb cl template series. However, this is a hypothetical idea, as a number of issues need to be addressed (How should the rowspans be handled? How is the competition parameter built into the template? Should the template be able to process the current team templates as well as standard wiki markup? Is the latter idea even technically realizable? If not, what do we use, markup or team templates?)

As for the mini-league style groups, I agree with Digirami. Let's have boxscores all around unless there are just a couple of matches. --Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 11:45, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Season changes

So when season changes are made should that be put in season changes or competition modus or should both sections appear in the article? --MicroX (talk) 07:34, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

I moved your question to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/League season and replied there. Cheers, Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 08:43, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
