== Two tarot templates == |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
In [[Template talk:Card#Completeness]], there was a request from [[User:Crissov]] back on April 15, 2011 to add more cards for the sake of completeness. Personally, I think it would be better to create two more templates: one for card game articles using images from [[commons:Category:Tarot nouveau - Grimaud - 1898]], and one for divination articles using images from [[commons:Category:Rider-Waite tarot deck (Roses & Lilies)]]. Of course, as an IP user, I don't have the authority to create new templates. [[Special:Contributions/72.216.186.113|72.216.186.113]] ([[User talk:72.216.186.113|talk]]) 00:35, 25 June 2024 (UTC) |

:One template should be fine too, and we could pass in an argument to specify which pattern to use [[Special:Contributions/72.216.186.113|72.216.186.113]] ([[User talk:72.216.186.113|talk]]) 00:08, 27 June 2024 (UTC) |

== Remove artist name hidden autolink in [[Template:Infobox artwork]] == |

[[Template:**]] – I am proposing this as a shortcut for [[Template:Asterisk]]. |

<!-- End request --> |

First raised this on the [[Template talk:Infobox artwork#Artist name hidden autolink|template's talk page]] to no avail. There were previous discussions <sup>([[Template talk:Infobox artwork/Archive 1#Artist: inappropriate autolinking|1]], [[Template talk:Infobox artwork/Archive 2#Automatic linking of artist name harmful|2]], [[Template talk:Infobox artwork/Archive 2#Autolink artist|3]], [[Template talk:Infobox artwork/Archive 3#Pages using infobox artwork with unlinked artist field|4]])</sup> that led to removing the link automatically added to the artist name parameter, but apparently it was replaced with a hidden autolink that has the same problems, e.g. linking to disambiguation pages or to the wrong person entirely. This [[Talk:Statue of Jackie Robinson (Wichita, Kansas)#Artist link|came to my attention]] regarding [[Statue of Jackie Robinson (Wichita, Kansas)]] with its hidden link to the [[John Parsons]] disambiguation page where the non-notable artist isn't listed. Coincidentally, this also happens with [[Statue of Jackie Robinson (Jersey City)]] with its hidden link to [[Susan Wagner]] who isn't an artist. Can this autolinking be removed once and for all? -- [[User:Pemilligan|Pemilligan]] ([[User talk:Pemilligan|talk]]) 13:36, 30 June 2024 (UTC) |

[[Template:Infobox NFL_season]] – I'm seeking the ability to add a graphic and a caption to the top of the infobox used for individual NFL seasons, similar to the way a graphic can be added to { {Infobox person} } or { {Infobox baseball biography} } or { {Infobox NFL biography} }. For some reason { {Infobox college sports team season} } already has this functionality, but the NFL season infobox gives an "unknown parameter" warning if one tries to shoehorn a graphic into place. |
|||
== Template:Tennis record expansion == |
|||
Need an update for [[Template:Tennis record]]. What you see there is a basic win–loss template to help new editors who always forget to use an ndash. If you look at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Tennis_record&oldid=1169694840 the prior version] it always included a win percentage to one decimal. No way around it that I can see. So it would only show 11–10 (52.4%). A lot of time this is placed in an infobox where we really don't need the percentage. What I would like is to be able to have <nowiki>{{tennis record|won=11|lost=10}}</nowiki> simply show 11–10, but have an additional parameter available like |pct=yes to show that percentage to one place so it would look like 11–10 (52.4%). This way the template could be more flexible. And place it in the /testcases so I could see how it would work. This original template never got approval from "WikiProject Tennis" to use in tennis infoboxes and other places and it needs to have that flexibility for multi-use. And while I can't for the life of me figure why we would ever want to fill the infobox with the "details=" section, that should probably also be included just as the old version had. I can update the documentation as needed since what is there now is actually out of date. Thanks. [[User:Fyunck(click)|Fyunck(click)]] ([[User talk:Fyunck(click)|talk]]) 08:49, 15 July 2024 (UTC) |

:@[[User:Carrite|Carrite]]: Out of curiosity, since I'm an editor in the NFL area, what are you trying to add to the seasons? Just the team logos? Personally I think that would add unnecessary bloat, but that's just my opinion and I recognize not everyone would agree with that. Also noting that there's already a caption at the top of the infoboxes, unless you're asking for text to be displayed above them?

:::I'm not a fan of that for a few reasons. In the case of the [[1953 Baltimore Colts season]], I don't think it's a good image for an infobox because of how big it is. A whole team being in a group shot, shrunk down and placed into an infobox, doesn't particularly add a lot. It's honestly doing a disservice to a good photo that could be at least thumbnail sized lower in the article. What happens when we don't have a team photo though? It comes down to picking a picture that encapsulates the season? If we were to be added images to NFL infoboxes I'd be strongly in favour of it being for the team logos at the time, [https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/det/1957.htm similar to how Pro Football Reference does it] and to match what they do for college team season articles.

for a new template or updates to existing templates to the bottom of this page. Please be clear about what the template is used for, roughly what it should look like, and which articles it should link to, if any.
For requests regarding stub templates, go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals.
A general description and guideline for userboxes can be found at Wikipedia:Userboxes. A detailed instruction to use the userbox template can be found at Template:Userbox. For requests regarding userboxes, go to Wikipedia talk:Userboxes/Ideas.
