Introductory sentence for Michelin-starred list pages
Most list pages on Wikipedia follow a consistent format but I'm not aware of any guideline that officially outlines an introductory sentence specifically for list pages.
I would propose that all list articles begin with, "This article contains a[n] [in]complete list of Michelin-starred restaurants in XXX, with XXX representing the region being discussed by the list article. This would properly reference the article title and link to the Michelin Guide and the region being discussed. Expandinglight5 (talk) 03:03, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Blank cells vs. N/A template
In lists of Michelin-starred restaurants, should we leave cells empty or use Template:N/a to show when stars were not awarded? Whatever we decide, I recommend we seek consistency. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:01, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Are there other lists that have FL status that we can reference? My inclination is to simply leave blank. I would agree that it should be consistent and what's agreed should go in the style guide. Expandinglight5 (talk) 20:30, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've looked a bit further into this. The Ireland list is a good example of N/A vs. Blank cells. Both on a tablet and on a desktop, the table looks better with the N/A than a blank cell. Compare that with another region such as NYC. I would propose we use the N/A. Expandinglight5 (talk) 16:59, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
Consistent Section Name for List pages
This should be part of the style guide once we create one but what should the Section name be titled? There are multiple versions on various Michelin-starred list pages. The following are in use: List, Year range (i.e. 2019-2024), Year range list, (i.e. 2019-2024 list), Alphabetical list, Michelin Star List, Restaurant list, List of restaurants, Alphabetic list.
Some pages do have multiple sections so in some instances there are multiple tables with year ranges. Thoughts on the labeling and syntax?
First year on list highlighting
Some Michelin-starred lists such as Florida and NYC have highlighting of restaurants in their first year on the Michelin-starred list. What is everyone's opinion? Its practice is fairly inconsistent among the list pages and seems a bit redundant. Perhaps this is related to accessability? Expandinglight5 (talk) 05:19, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Personally I feel it should be removed. As you said, the 'first year' highlight is redundant since that can be surmised from the chart itself. Open to thoughts feeling otherwise, though. Dtmich24 (talk) 14:42, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
