...would probably be better being...

! style="background:#{{{{{2|green}}} color}}; line-height:10px;" {{!}} <small>Pinyin</small>
! style="background:#{{{{{2|green}}} color}}; line-height:10px;" {{!}} <small>Wade-Giles</small>

! style="background:#{{{{{2|green}}} color}}; line-height:10px;" {{!}} <small>Yale</small>

...so that the first two are for Mandarin and the second two for Cantonese, instead of the current Mandarin-Cantonese-Mandarin-Cantonese. --Abcboy (talk) 20:44, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

What would really be better would be if the columns were in the order: Traditional, Simplified, Pinyin, Wade-Giles, Cantonese, Yale, Jyutping. So the relevant romanizations directly follow the appropriate text, that is. To me, that seems like the sensible thing to do... Tiddlywinks (talk) 23:28, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
