The feedback I have seen from the hardcore Wikipedia people that never touch WD but has opinion about WD is

  • Occupations they would like to have in a specific order ==> the occupation they think is the "main" occupation should be first etc...

If this is what we want then some kind of ordering would be nice and building another datalayer in the Template in what order they should be displayed is bad design. Data should be in the datalayer even if it is in this case a mix of a display feature and "importance"... also should every template "invent the wheel"

BUT when I started to dig into this my feeling is that an Infobox should not contain everything so maybe a person with a "complex life" should not have 40 activities in the Infobox..... just zero/one is enough ==> ordering is less important...

The solution could be something I spoke with Navino Evans from Histropedia in Berlin in October that we could in the infobox have some kind of thumb of a Histropedia timeline or a link to a Histropedia timeline displaying occupations/and or important events in the life of a person on a Timeline.... see blog examples for SPARQL searches Leonardo da Vinci and August Strindberg
