@Frietjes: how are you? I was wondering if you had any thoughts about improving the layout and spacing of the college football standings templates. Take Template:2005 Gulf South Conference football standings as an example. You see how special notation for Central Arkansas wraps on a second line? Plus there's quite a lot of space between the Conf and Overall groups and between the W and L columns within each of those groups. Would be great to prevent the line wrapping and also reduce the space of the records so that they present like they do elsewhere, e.g. "6–2", not "6 – 2". Let me know if you have any ideas here.

Jweiss11, sure, I have a few ideas. (1) we could remove the space between the score and the dash as you suggest, but this may screw up the dash alignment if we don't keep the dash in its own table cell (2) the width of the team column is currently set to 50% of the table width, which we could increase (or not specify). (3) I put in an option to "nowrap" to table which you can toggle with |nowrap=y, but we could make that the default, or maybe the first two fixes would solve the problem.

Jweiss11, I increased the default size of the team column, which will automatically shrink to fit the remaining columns. I will test removing the spacing around the dashes next. Frietjes (talk) 14:46, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
