I think the words should be arranged in a table format, instead of simply a list. Not only will it scale better, but since Mediawiki [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Help:Sorting supports sortable tables], I think we could implement that syntax. Does this sound like a good idea? I'll try to write out the syntax when I have the chance, but please tell me what you think before I do so.

:Interesting idea, not sure whether it will actually work in practice or not. Here's a suggestion: why not copy one of the existing pages to a user subpage, e.g. [[User:KevinDavis/Conservative Dictionary Project (A)]], and then you can experiment there... I think, once it becomes something concrete people can see, people will find it easier to make their minds up whether it is a good idea or not.

::This is a start; I don't know enough about how Mediawiki formats table to specifically collapse the borders, but how does [[User:KevinDavis/dictionary|this]] look as a first step? Thanks! [[User:KevinDavis|Kevin Davis]] <sup>[[User talk:KevinDavis|Talk]]</sup> 10:43, 10 September 2011 (EDT)
:::On the first line, change <nowiki>{|border="1" align="center" style="text-align:center;" cellpadding="2"</nowiki> to read <nowiki>{|border="1" align="center" style="text-align:center;" cellpadding="2" class="wikitable"</nowiki>. That should collapse borders, and make it nicer looking. Also, I think we had a date of origin for some words as well? [[User:Maratrean|Maratrean]] 18:30, 10 September 2011 (EDT)
