Personally, I prefer the old revision. It looks more in-line with the rest on the page, it includes the course banner when the other one doesn't, and the staff ghost information is more readable. I'd argue to remove the internal course names since there already is a clear in-game name and that information isn't relevant for the casual reader, but I do like this layout better. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 15:50, July 3, 2024 (EDT) | Personally, I prefer the old revision.

:For the record, I removed the banners because one image of the course seemed sufficient (and only so much space on the table, so something had to give). In my opinion, the biggest problems with the old revision are 1. it's too big and takes up way more space than it needs to, I can't even fit two courses' worth of information on my screen at once, 2. the layout is confusing, tables should read from left to right and use one row per subject (tables are very frequently misused and abused elsewhere on the wiki, but that's beside the point), and 3. a lot of the staff ghost information is obfuscated by images with no accompanying text, which is very bad for accessibility. I'm open to suggestions for how to make these better, and to be honest I'd be totally fine if the consensus is to just revert everything back to how it was before with a simple course listing and separate table of staff ghosts. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 16:34, July 3, 2024 (EDT) | :For the record, I removed the banners because one image of the course seemed sufficient (and only so much space on the table, so something had to give).

About a month ago, I started overhauling the course tables after discussions with several community members who were unhappy with their current state. I only completed the new courses before getting pushback, so I left it alone in the hopes that discussion would give a general consensus on what we should go with. As far as I can tell, no consensus has emerged and that discussion has stalled for several weeks. In the meantime, the course listing is split in half between two designs which isn't ideal, especially for a featured article. I think it's about time we just go to a proposal and pick one. | About a month ago, I started overhauling the course tables after discussions with several community members who were unhappy with their current state.

#{{User|Yook Bab-imba}} Per Koopa con Carne. I find this option too basic-looking, and I like the idea of having the map, but the way it's been implemented is not visually appealing. The audio files for each one is too much. | #{{User|Yook Bab-imba}} Per Koopa con Carne.

#{{User|Ahemtoday}} I'll be honest, adding in the music, having headers for different cups, even trying to squeeze the course maps alongside images of the courses — I just don't think the ''game'' article is the place to do all this when users could just click on the link. | #{{User|Ahemtoday}} I'll be honest, adding in the music, having headers for different cups, even trying to squeeze the course maps alongside images of the courses — I just don't think the ''game'' article is the place to do all this when users could just click on the link. | ||
