Graphic for Template:Infobox NFL_season

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. Thanks! (Please ping me if questions or comments) Carrite (talk) 19:15, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@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? Hey man im josh (talk) 19:24, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You could use the logo field if you want. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 21:15, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I took a look at the code, and the logo= parameter looks like the one you want. Van Isaac, GHTV^cont_WpWS 21:16, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clarifying based on a post at a Wikipedia criticism forum, which includes a screenshot. (The template is actually at Template:Infobox NFL team season; "NFL season" redirects.) Carrite wants to include a team photo; the logo parameter wouldn't work as a kludge because of the desirability of a caption. See 1953 Baltimore Colts season, where the photo has been inserted above the infobox as a kludge. Can anyone with the template editor right add the necessary bits? Yngvadottir (talk) 22:49, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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, similar to how Pro Football Reference does it and to match what they do for college team season articles.

Synod's

Could it be possible to make a template for Synod's? One for ecumenical council exists, so I was wondering if this would be easy enough to implemennt. Could be useful for all of these.

-== 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)
