(Finally!) Announcing the ArmchairGM Hall of Fame!

After eight months of negotiation, pestering, and thinking about how to do it, the ArmchairGM Hall of Fame finally appears to be up and running!

Tylersalt, this is why I was taken back by your calling it you founding it, I misread name, for fame!

But anyways, if you look on all the player profiles, you will see five stars and a rate button. You then get to rate that person depending on whether you think he/she should be in the ArmchairGM Hall of Fame.

We discussed tiers, so it seems the natural place to put them would be 0*, 1*, 2*, 3*, 4* and in the rare event of 5*, then that can be one too.

I also think it would be a good idea to write an article about your favourite, and persuade users to either vote him up, or down, or whatever. I'll be doing it a lot!

I don't know how the whole thing will be brought together on one page yet, Roblefko will I'm sure figure that out as the day goes on. Or at least, he hasn't told me about it yet!

The only one's that it doesn't seem to be working for is the Formula One drivers, but that isn't too much of a problem or a few reasons, firstly I haven't made many profiles yet! And secondly, because it can hopefully just be added to the template.

So fire away and get rating! You can expect many articles from me coming over the next week or two.

Alex, check out the code on User:Roblefko/DraftHoF. That's how it' brought altogether. Feel free to make an official page, and make it prettier.

I have neither the imagination, nor the wiki ability to make things look pretty. I'll pass that buck on.

Note, by switching the category, you can have ones for any sport. The one on that page is for baseball alone.

Ok, i quickly created these 5 pages. ArmchairGM MLB Hall of Fame, ArmchairGM NHL Hall of Fame, ArmchairGM NBA Hall of Fame, ArmchairGM NFL Hall of Fame, ArmchairGM Snooker Hall of Fame. Feel free to start making them pretty, add the rules for the tiers, instructions, etc...so that those not reading this opinion above know what to do.

We now have a ArmchairGM Motor Sport Hall of Fame. I suppose there's no reason why other forms of Motor Sport (E.g. NASCAR, IRL etc.) can't break off from that.

Or at least we will do - but to keep people happy, I'll store it under Auto Sport, and leave Motor Sport as a redirect.

ArmchairGM Hall of Fame shows you all the players in all the categories at once.

With Rob being in charge of this, I'm suprised there isn't a "Hot Women Who are in some small way connected to sports HOF" ;-)

We should have hall of fame for that, too!

Btw, I'm not in charge of this. Feel free to create your own rules, and your own Hall of Fames. You can change the "category=" in the code to create a hall of fame for any category. e.g. Category=Past MLB Teams. We'd have to create pages for every single team, like 1996 New York Yankees for example. Oh, the only thing we can't do is put the voting box on opinions. That already has the regular voting box, and the two don't work together.

it can also work in reverse..if you set the "sort=ascending" in the listpages hook, we can output the worst rated players for the hall of shame! it would also need the "rating minimum" param so people with 0 votes wouldn't show up.

In your face, Jeter! You rank as slightly above average on an obscure website! Take that!

I guess this finally puts the A-Rod-Jeter debate to rest, though.

It may be because the picture on his bio page makes him look like a pedophile. Or it could because he's Jeter. But probably the first one.
