A typical year article is [[1973]]. But there is also [[1345]] which looks quite different, having running text and illustrations, rather than just bullet lists. This format is an innovation from December 2007. The revision history is for some reason found under [[1345 (summary)]].
Is any similar innovation going on in disambiguation pages and list articles?
Do you know any exceptional examples that are more beautiful or explain the topic better, than the standard format?
I know some list articles can be much improved by introducing a table that is column sortable (class="wikitable sortable"). This removes the need for separate "alphabetical list of ..." and "list of ... by size". One example is the Russian list of "cities in Sweden", which also uses a map to illustrate the list article, [[ru:Города Швеции]], http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%93%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0_%D0%A8%D0%...
The columns are Russian name, Swedish name, population, foundation year, cathedral, county, and latitude. By clicking the box in the column headings, you can sort the list by name in either language, by population, by age, and north-to-south.
In one Swedish disambiguation page, I inserted two illustrations to explain why the word "foxtail" is also the name of a plant, [[sv:Rävrumpa]], http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A4vrumpa
(In English, equisetum arvense is known as [[Horsetail]], but that is a redirect and not a disambiguation page.)
