Template talk:Infobox rugby biography

message: The conversation on this subject was productive. The majority of editors seemed to be in favour of deleting spouses and children.  It was pointed out that including information about a player's spouse and children in the infobox is a little overkill and that only notable relatives ought to remain.  Some people may consider schools and universities to be unimportant, but in most nations, they serve as a stepping stone to senior rugby, so knowing this knowledge might be crucial. The occupation category is debatable because some people want to preserve it for players during the amateur era.
* Support – As I've already said, I don't think this is information that should be included in an athlete's infobox. I believe that this belongs elsewhere in the article and isn't really crucial to their career. Kidsoljah (talk) 21:08, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing spouse, children, and occupation(s) 

message: Most people are of the mind that this should not be in the infobox and that the link should be placed somewhere in the main text.
* Support – I don't see why other countries do not have the option to disclose these facts when the New Zealand national team does. I believe that you should either permit all countries to provide this information or not at all. Kidsoljah (talk) 21:08, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  Apparently this carried, as I am currently receiving the errors "Page using Template:Infobox rugby biography with unknown parameter 'allblackno'" and "Page using Template:Infobox rugby biography with unknown parameter 'allblackid'" while editing Walter Drake (to give you an idea of my level of rugby, I was looking for the American gift catalog company).  However, the parameters are still described in the documentation.  Please add a conclusion here so that I (and anyone after me) can be certain. —DocWatson42 (talk) 03:05, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removing All Black No 

message: The majority of people are in favour of preserving "Amateur team(s)", but regardless of the era the player competed, "Provincial / state sides", and "Super Rugby" are all teams that can be incorporated beneath "Senior career". Less clutter and fewer sub-headings in the infobox would make it easier to read. Like Ruggalicious suggests, it's not about removing these teams from the infobox as you may believe, but rather about removing the individual sub-headings and combining these teams under the single sub-heading "Senior career".
* Support – I think there are too many sub-headings in this section, so I'd like to clear it up. Comparable infoboxes essentially combine all domestic sides into a single part, which is more visually pleasing and practical. However I can see why editors would want to maintain the "Amateur team(s)" for players competing before the professional era. Kidsoljah (talk) 21:08, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deleting amateur team(s), provincial / state sides, super rugby 

message: Regarding this adjustment, there has been a range of reactions. Few are in favour of leaving it as is, however a great deal would prefer to modify it to "International career" or "National career" so that it is consistent with the following sub-headings.
* Support – I believe it should be changed to "International career" for functionality and to keep the headlines consistent. Kidsoljah (talk) 21:08, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Renaming national team(s) 

message: For some reason "provincepoints2" won't display any value. Does anyone know what the issue is? Regards. Jevansen (talk) 11:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Provincial stats error 

message: I think this template is adding an extra space after the infobox, i.e. before the first sentence in articles that use it. jlwoodwa (talk) 05:49, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: , could you give an example of where you see this? Primefac (talk) 07:44, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Mark Bingham looks fine to me. Maybe there is a problem in just one article. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:31, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

text: Huh. It went away after I restarted my computer. That's strange, but probably unrelated to the template. Sorry for the false alarm. jlwoodwa (talk) 18:26, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I mean, it could be something template-related; I've been adjusting some of the tracking categories and might have temporarily missed removing something, which then got caught in the next update, and you happened to catch it. Glad to hear it seems to have resolved itself. Primefac (talk) 18:28, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
