Include a table sorted by total medals first
Would it be worthwhile including a table that also sorted nations by total medals first? Tables for individual games all sort by gold medals first, as do the tables published (for information purposes) by the IOC; however, arguments against this table have included ones about it opening up edit warring based on the order method used.

Merge with List of nations finishing at the top of the medals tables at the Winter Olympic Games
Would it be worthwhile merging these two, closely related, articles? Lukens (talk) 17:10, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

How many medal table positions should be included?
What are people's opinions on the number of places included. Four seems a very strange number to include (and is being used as an argument against the article), and is merely this way as this was the number included when the article was last included on the Summer Olympic Games article. I think three, five or ten would all be better, though five and ten might not work well on narrow displays. Alternatively all nations finishing with medals, or all nations participating, could be included. Lukens (talk) 17:10, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
