SABR Encyclopedia talk:Design issues

Question: (from Joel Dinda) How do we want to handle Signed By? This is clearly something we'll want to be searchable, and it needs to be flexible enough to handle multiple signers.

(from Ted): Still up in the air. I've been talking with Rod Nelson about this, because it's one of those things that isn't cut-and-dried, especially when you have a "recommended by" and a "signed by" and so forth. Recommendation for now: record the information on the page somewhere, and create a temporary category flagging the page as needing formalization of signing information.

(from Al Yellon) I have a question. In my first foray into the encyclopedia, I searched "Chicago Cubs". Up came a list of the Cubs, by year -- except that most of the years said "Chicago (National)", and at the bottom of the list, out of date sequence, were a handful of years that said "Chicago Cubs". How can this be fixed?

(from Ted Turocy): This is an artifact of the indexing process that's currently in progress.

Could the statistics animation be sped up and a career total for the stats added? --Sam Giddins 09:31, 24 November 2009 (EST)
