[edit] Comment

I've asked for some discussion on this new template at Wikipedia:New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board.-gadfium 05:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nowrap

I think it is a very bad idea to add nowrap templates to this topic. For people with screens or browser windows less than the length of a full line, then they will have to scroll to see the full table. The exact resolution will depend on font size used, but I think even people with 1024x768 resolution will have trouble. This is very poor design, and so I have removed the templates.-gadfium 20:00, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, I realise that the job was only half done. I've finished it.-gadfium 20:08, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fortifications

Why is fortifications in this? They're not particularly important.

Also, I'd quite like to see a 'People' line. It could include Māori - which definitely should be on here somewhere -, Pakeha/New Zealand European, Immigration to New Zealand, Demographics of New Zealand, List of New Zealanders and perhaps Samoan New Zealander, Chinese New Zealander, New Zealand nationality law, LGBT New Zealand and others. --Helenalex (talk) 03:59, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

I agree that the fortifications are not of sufficient importance to be included.

By all means add a "People" line. I suggest not adding individual nationalities such as Samoan New Zealander, because there is no clear point at which to say that certain nationalities are sufficiently important to be included, and others aren't. All such groups are or should be covered by Immigration to New Zealand.-gadfium 20:04, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
