Template talk:Infobox boxer

message: Some boxers' trainers are themselves notable. It would be useful if this infobox had a field into which wikilinks to their articles could be inserted. Zazpot (talk) 01:05, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit request: add a "Trainer(s)" field 

message: There is data available for multiple boxers on their resting place, for example Ben Caunt is buried in the Church of St Mary Magdalene, Hucknall, which even has its own wiki page. I'm not sure of the situation for other sports professions, but I think it might be appropriate to at least allow boxers' infoboxes the data on their resting place. Another plus would be that boxing is an older profession, with many historical practicers being buried in older churches, and some even featuring their own articles.JoshTilley (talk) 00:38, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Addition of Burial Place field 

message: Please add the parameters of  and  to the template. The lack of these parameters requires editors to haphazardly find a method to incorporate any prefixes or suffixes into the infobox of an appropriate person (for example, see Anthony Joshua) ~ Fluffy89502 (talk) 04:24, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit request: Honorifics 

message: Is there a way to hide or get rid of the label "Statistics" that appears in the box? Nationality and dates and locations of birth appear under the heading, but neither of them are statistics. 2A00:23C7:2B86:9800:50F5:ADFA:E981:296 (talk) 11:23, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Seconding this edit request. Please remove the redundant "Statistics" label. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:49, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  The proposal to wrap  (below) fixes this problem (e.g., nationality, dates and locations of birth would no longer be Statistics). — hike395 (talk) 16:52, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Statistics" 

message: A newspaper decision is an archaic result type no longer seen in the past century. We would like these results displayed as a new field below no contests=, titled nws=. The label should read "". Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:47, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit request: new field for newspaper results 

message: This edit broke this citation because the infobox has:
:| name = Vasiliy Lomachenko
This ought to be fixable by the addition of  which would take, as a value, .  Then, something like this in the infobox code:
:| above = 
 renders like this:
: → 
 returns an error message when  does not include proper language markup (provided by  or ):
: → 
I have hacked the ~/sandbox.  You can see how it looks at Template:Infobox boxer/testcases#native name.
: the citations at the ~/testcases example do not show an error because  does not categorize when used outside of mainspace; it is the category link that is breaking the citation at Vasiliy Lomachenko.

thread_title:  native name 

message: On my talk page,  suggested having this template wrap . This would allow this template to accept all parameters accepted by .
I've implemented such a wrapping in the sandbox. If we change the template to be a wrapping, it would change the order of the fields in the infobox, as can be seen in the testcases. For example, you can see in the test infobox for Ricky Hatton that the generic person fields would come first, then the statistics for the boxer, then the boxing record. The real name, nickname, nationality, birth and death data would move to the generic person fields, instead of being boxing statistics. Parameters such as  appear as they do in  (see the Vasiliy Lomachenko test case).
The testcases have new examples at the bottom. For example, you can see I've implemented the infobox for Mike Tyson as a unified infobox. Spouses and children now show up in the generic person fields. I've implemented Tonya Harding with  as a child infobox: there would be a different field order in this case, also.
What do editors think of this proposed change? — hike395 (talk) 11:12, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I very much like how birthplace appears top-most, where it belongs, above the boxing stats. Fully on board with these changes. Now I really really really wish the same logic could be implemented at , as I griped about at their talk page earlier in the year. Off-topic but why, in the case of Barack Obama, are his personal details all the way below the political stuff? If you have the patience, please see if you could address this via the correct channels. It's bugged the everlasting shit out of me for years. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:16, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
