Template talk:Lotus

message: Since this template is primarily serving as a manufacturer summary for each of the related Lotus Cars articles, I've reformatted it to better match the standard road car timeline for other automobile manufacturers.  Matthewmichaelagee (talk) 22:06, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Template reformatted

message: I gather that the intention here is to only list cars for which a corresponding article already exists (hence my edits yesterday). Contrast this with template:Brabham and template:Williams, which list all the cars, regardless of whether or not there is a matching article. DH85868993 12:57, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Should the Lotus T127 be included in this template?--Midgrid(talk) 19:13, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

text: I would say that neither the Lotus T127 nor the T128 should be included.  The modern Lotus Racing team has no physical connections to either the historic Team Lotus or Lotus Cars, but raced under the name in 2010 under a license agreement from the owner of Lotus Cars, and in 2011 by buying the rights to the Team Lotus name from David Hunt.  Until the issues are sorted out between the two outfits, all three cars (being the T127, T128, and the Lotus Renault GP R31) should collectively be either included or excluded.

thread_title:  Classic Team Lotus NavBox 

message: What i meant was the formula one team runned by colin chapman until 1982 and pulled out of formula one in 1994 it should have a navbox.

replies: text: That's actually a decent idea. It's one of the only major teams without it's own template, and there's no need to include the race cars in with the Lotus road cars. QueenCake (talk) 19:40, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Colin Chapman Team Lotus Navbox 

message: I think we should split the timeline and article list into separate templates.  I've already created timelines at User:Vossanova/Template:Lotus timeline 1950s–1980s and User:Vossanova/Template:Lotus timeline 1990s–present.  :Template:Lotus road car timeline, 1980s–present already exists, but it's only being used on two non-user pages, and I think it would be better to start the timeline split later.  I may end up merging my changes into that one.  As for the race car links, :Template:Team Lotus exists, but I would leave the race car links in the Lotus Cars template for now. --Vossanova o< 16:41, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
