Reorganized. Can this become a standard going forward?

I did some reorganization of Cardinals' 2012 season page. Some redundancies and/or topical misplacements caught my eye:

"Standings:" Records versus opponents and against each division are better fit under the standings topic to give an idea of how each team fared against each other relates to the table of the final standings. All those numbers focus on team's performance in the league-wide context.

"Players and coaching staff:" Why have a different topics for "players" and "roster?" I consolidated them. The former "players" topic only leads the reader to another page, anyway: "See also Cardinals all-time roster". Player statistics should directly follow the roster. The opening day lineup was its own section - Why? It belongs near the roster.

"Schedule and results:" I transferred the "game logs" section from "standings" to a separate topic now headed under "Schedule and results," since the schedule becomes the game scoring log as each game is played. Also, team performance in various situations goes here - a table of team performance outlines results that correspond to an in-game context.

I would like to see at least the most recent ones refitted with better organization, and see these changes to become a standard going forward, as some of these pages are a ghastly amalgam of information with no sensible alignment. Overall, the content on the 2012 page is satisfactory and is a good reference. ˜˜˜˜Elcid.ruderico 24 March 2013 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elcid.ruderico (talk • contribs) 23:58, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
