Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Style Guide/Head coaches list

Tooltip
Would it help using the tooltip template instead of the legend at the top? I recently discovered this template while looking at the 2010 FIFA World Cup articles.  –Nav  talk to me or sign my guestbook 19:31, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * No. Generally, any use of tooltip will get shot down during a Featured nomination as tooltip violates WP:ACCESS since tooltips are inaccessible to those using screenreaders or other disability aids.—NMajdan &bull;talk 22:03, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Checklist
I have put together a check list that I usually go through myself before nominating a list like this for FL. I've providing it here for any other editors.

Hope it helps!—NMajdan •talk 15:28, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
