Talk:Fusions reported so far/@comment-5243843-20120715213939/@comment-5222017-20120716174556

If we were to make any changes, I’d strongly suggest doing away with the two-dimensional grid for several reasons:

[*]Half of the cells are useless unless (A) people keep good track of which slots they used (which is doubtful) and (B) the slot order matters in the first place (even more doubtful).

[*]There is no way to attribute entries to users/villages.

[*]There is no way to date entries.

The last two points are crucial, if the data is to be meaningful in the long run. I’d propose a linear table where users only fill in their village ID and date of fusion. All the combinations would be pre-filled.
