: Thank you.  You've probably noticed that I've included other words only where they beat what the contestants found.  I don't know if there's a good way to extend it to show more than this (or distinguish between what DC/CV found and other words/solutions found by viewers) without cluttering the layout too much. -- [[User:Smjg|Smjg]] 16:33, 9 September 2007 (BST)

::I think from an encyclopaedic perspective, it's not worth recording which words DC bother to mention, especially since words get left out of the edit. I think we should list only words strictly better than those the contestants got, and then only the longest ones. Within those, maybe we should mark those that beat DC with a star (in case I do something statistical in future.) In general I like the lightweight look of the current page.

:::Have a look at [[Episode 1]] to see how it might work with templates. The numbers rounds are rather painful but overall it's not bad. That would allow us to dump in existing recaps with a lot of structure. Everyone happy? [[User:Reams|Soo]] 00:45, 10 September 2007 (BST)

Revision as of 23:45, 9 September 2007

I quite like the layout here, good work Stewart. If we can streamline it a bit more then I'll turn it into templates, then write a tool to dump in as many existing recaps as possible. Soo 02:49, 9 September 2007 (BST)
