message: Is "Green Bay Packers American Football Club, Inc." the actual name of the club or is it simply "Green Bay Packers Football Club, Inc." ? Smith03 22:51, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed a similar thing on the Bears template.  I think someone was thinking a bit creatively when they named these.  I checked our old friend Google, and nothing comes up on either except Wikipedia mirrors.  It's too bad, though, I like the formality.  We could have called them GB Packers AFC.

message: I recently reverted an edit to this template that made it navbox class. Imho, although the it was done to try and form unity (see ), that in its current state, it did not look good, as it looked very stretched, with massive amounts of white space.  To me it looked like someone literally grabbed the old template and stretched it to twice its side.  If consensus (or policy?) is to change these to navboxes, thats fine, just let's not make changes until we have a complete, good-looking template (i.e. use a sandbox first).  I'll see what I can do today in making a working navbox. Cheers!  « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @  18:13, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

message: This is from the List of NFL champions (1920–1969) article, talking about the first four Super Bowls -- 
"Teams winning the NFL Championship during these years move onward to compete in the first four Super Bowls. The Green Bay Packers continued on to win the first two Super Bowls. The latter two teams, the Baltimore Colts and Minnesota Vikings, lost in their respective Super Bowls. These two losing teams are still credited with the NFL Championship in their official record. However, they are not considered as world champions, but as the less prestigious league champions."
The Super Bowl wins from 66-69 are not counted as league championships, but rather "World Championships" This has been the standard for all the years I have been editing NFL articles. If anything, the standard has been not to count Super Bowls I - IV in total League Championships. Don't you agree that if you are going to make this the standard, then you should change all the other articles showing KC, OAK, BALT and Minn as league champs from 66-69? And we are talking about a lot of changes to get to your standard of not counting these titles. We know this is not happening, and we should revert back to showing the deserved league titles as it has been for years.  Thanks. I am posting this in each talk page on each template so others can give their input. Spparky (talk) 19:35, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I Oppose this change . I would recommend you find consensus before making this change, as the way you did it is confusing. If we are going to have a change, it would be better to have one row for NFL Championships and one row for Super Bowl victories. See  for what I am talking about. No explanation is needed then. Note that you also left in the cross (†) in the template, which should be removed because it doesn't reference a footnote anymore. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  19:43, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

text: , can we centralize the discussion of this change please? There are too many talk pages involved. This should be moved to WP:NFL where consensus can best be determined. Pinging  as well, as they seem involved too. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  19:45, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hey Gonzo, nice to hear from you. The title in the template is League Championships. You cannot leave out the titles earned those 4 years just because they lost the Super Bowl. The teams were still League champs. Also, is there anywhere on any list where the losers of these games have not been called a league champion? SB I-IV were 2 league champs playing against each other. I do not recall these league champs not being recognized as such on any Wikipedia page. Maybe we should leave the losers league wins as is, and remove the Super Bowls won pre 1970 row, just notating SB I-IV wins in ( ) for the winners after the year. I rarely get involved in stuff like this, and did not know proper way to get consensus as you suggested. ThanksSpparky (talk) 20:05, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi, you would need to write articles on the rivalries for them to be added to this template. Templates help navigating through similar articles and are not meant to include everything, just stuff that is on Wikipedia. Cheers, « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  18:38, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two more Packers rivals 

message: Is That '70s Show in this navbox because some characters are Packers fans, and one episode involves a game? There's lots of fictional Packers fans in media, it seems like too low a bar for inclusion here. That article doesn't even mention the Packers. Is Pitch Perfect 2 here because a few players had cameos? Again, there have been lots of player cameos on different shows or films over the years. The film isn't really about the Packers. It doesn't seem like a sufficiently substantial connection. Ibadibam (talk) 16:55, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not opposed to the removal of That '70s Show, but Pitch Perfect 2 had a lot of coverage regarding the Packers cameo. They are also listed on the soundtrack and won a Teen Choice Award for their cameo. I think that is enough to keep it here. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  17:09, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
