Ack! You've gone and used two sets of numbers! LOL ... New numbering below.

1. Floating headers:  I've had that idea before. With multiple tables on the page, they could get confusing, and the Workshop E tables are already confusing, as you noted. The solution you devised looks good. I'll figure out the smoothest way to add that.

2. Alignment of headers:  I've already been looking at that. I haven't adjusted them yet, but it's definitely on my list.

3. Numbering of headers:  The TOC does this automatically. If we add numbers to the headers, the numbers will appear twice in the TOC (once for the TOC, again for the headers). Is it really necessary, though? Each item in the TOC is a link that takes you directly to that section. Isn't that enough?

4. Bold items in tables:  Maybe. I'll do some testing with my "non-user" and see what he thinks.

5. Drawing attention to "Expand":  I've already been thinking about this. One of our admins, Mhommer, already commented that all he saw were headers and text, with no data. If an admin didn't notice the Expand links, then new users certainly won't. I already have an idea about how to draw attention to them. Right now, I'm more concerned with getting the data in there. Patience, Grasshopper. ;)

6. MediaWiki DOES support footers. What would you like the footers to contain?

7. The legend will appear at the beginnning of each section that uses the colours. Only once on the page is a bad idea because people can jump directly to the section they want, and it would be easy to skip it. It definitely should be at the beginning because that's what people will see first. My idea for drawing attention to the Expand link should solve the issue you raised there. I definitely could add that sort of information to the footer, though, if you think it will help. At the very least, it will allow us to test it.

I haven't done anything for the last two days. After a few all-nighters, I needed a break, plus i needed to catch up on some housework. I did finally finish the Train Slots section, though, so that gave me a sense of accomplishment. Next, I want to tackle the other three sections affected by the September rebalance: International Slots, Depot Slots, and Storage. After those, dropping in the rest of the data should be much quicker.
