Template talk:Infobox cricketer

message: If Umpires are recognised in their infobox (by the no. of matches they have stood as an umpire), then why not match referees? So, I would request any template editor to add parameters for a match referee. Sony R (talk) 06:18, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you have any idea where reliable sources for this information could be gathered from? If I'm honest, I'd argue we already have far too many parameters, often used not very well and often very, very out of date. I'm not sure adding any more is a good idea.

message: Why do we have "type1" and "type2" parameters but not "type3"? Players very regularly play in three formats of the game nowadays, so it seems a bit arbitrary to stop at two. – PeeJay 22:57, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: We do have all three types for internationals, but, yes, I tend to think if we're going to add anything to the infobox, then type3 would be sensible. Blue Square Thing (talk) 23:04, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Do either of you have an example of a players using type1 & type2 who could make use of a type3? I've added the code to the sandbox, so could add a test case for a domestic-only player. (in meantime I've added a testcase using Jamie Smith, so have a look at that) Spike 'em (talk) 10:34, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: We need someone who's finished and played for lots of teams. Try Stevo? Blue Square Thing (talk) 11:05, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I did immediately consider Stevo, but as he didn't seem to have the types filled in yet it was too much work! Spike 'em (talk) 11:25, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Added his infobox - made a better one to add again by having played for Leicestershire and against Cambridge University - long lines of text breaking over lines. It won't hurt in an article like his, and probably won't make too much of a difference in most cases - there won't be many cases where the infobox is just the right length at present.

text: I brought this up because of the case of Tom Bevan, whose T20 debut is no longer listed in the infobox because he's now made a first-class appearance. – PeeJay 11:06, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  type3? 

message: It seems as if this infobox hates the Visual Editor. The VE apparently works well enough for things like infobox person and produces code that's then possible for others to edit. This box, though, produces stuff like this edit which makes it virtually impossible to update anything by hand.
Is there anything in the makeup of this inbox that causes this? Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:34, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Visual editor problem 

message: There is a discussion that's been going on for a while at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket about some changes that might be made to this infobox - involving the removal of squad numbers, nicknames, balls, medal tamplates and the like. Anyone who watches this might be interested in joining that discussion. It seems likely to me that some changes might be made Blue Square Thing (talk) 12:42, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
