==Comments==
 
 
 
I think this is an awesome table that presents a lot of information well. It looks very professional, which I never thought could be done with wiki tables.
 
 
But while this works well for a single user, the extra terrain information might make it difficult to analyze multiple reports from multiple users. Most of my experience and expectations of a multi-participatory Search Odds page derives from the Urban Dead wiki which broke up the sampling for each building type. Here, I feel as though the same should be done for each terrain type. I do, however, encourage others to adopt this template into their personal user pages. --[[User:Lint|Lint]] 12:15, 22 February 2006 (GMT)

thanks for the kind words lint!
 
 
 
Actually though, I was trying to approach it from the users perspective, trying to simplify as much as possible. I was thinking that perhaps having it all in one place would actually *encourage* users since it would really only require a single edit which would always be in the same place and always look the same.
 
 
 
As far as statistics being broken out, I presumed I would save the page as html, pull the data into excel and simply sort. I have tried it and it actually comes out quite nicely and is easily parsed and then analyzed.
 
 
 
nonetheless, I would appreciate if you or anyone else who would be willing to try this setup would please do so just to see if it is actually unworkable or not. :) [[User:Fitzcarraldo|Fitzcarraldo]] 14:44, 22 February 2006 (GMT)

Revision as of 15:14, 22 February 2006

NOTE: I AM USING THIS PAGE AS A SORT OF SANDBOX.

I have moved the search odds template to Search Odds Condensed for a trial.
