Template talk:Infobox rugby league club

message: I've stressed repeatedly on several rugby league-related articles on wikipedia that in this sport tries are equally, if not more important than points. Everyone editing rugby league-related articles already knows this, I'm sure. When will people introducing all these infoboxes realise that they've just been copied from some other sport like basketball or soccer and actually make them real rugby league-specific infoboxes? A field for tries must be entered. This isn't union. Goal-kicking is secondary in importance to try-scoring.--Jeff79 (talk) 04:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tries vs. Points 

message: The existence of a "nickname" field does not result in a requirement for it to be filled without regard for whether a nickname actually exists. Please only use this field if there is a well-known nickname for the club (which means a name other than the team's official name).--Jeff79 (talk) 04:57, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It might be more constructive to fix the syntax in the template so that short name actually shows properly (fixed now) and edit infoboxes to move Broncos, Cowboys etc from nickname to the appropriate slot. I know on the Wests Tigers page, nickname was shown as 'The Tigers' but I was uncertain (until I had a play just now) how to force the shortname to make it display. Others may be in the same position. It helps to offer an alternative rather than tell editors off with a grrrr or oh please. ~ Florrie • talk • 12:05, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to me that some editors just want to include more fields in the infoboxes purely for the sake of making it longer? Perhaps they feel it improves an article to have more fields in the infobox. I'm all for the nickname box appearing where it needs to (e.g. in the case of 'Easts' and 'Canterbury'). But I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that the Broncos and Cowboys don't have nicknames (they are the official names and appear in the article titles and at the top of the infobox already). That's what I have a problem with. changing it to short name is not the solution, as Canterbury is not the 'short name' of the Bulldogs. Please leave it as it was and only include a nickname where one exists.--Jeff79 (talk) 23:07, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't add a field, it already existed in the infobox but didn't show, so don't assume I am editor that wants to make the infobox longer. Why have it if it doesn't show? If concensus is that 'short name' not be used at all, then it should be removed from the template! No skin off my nose whether it's there or not but don't get uppity with me for trying to compromise. ~ Florrie • talk • 03:58, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Mate, seriously, what's the problem? diff The two previous subjects on this talk page are about you wanting to add fields to info boxes (url and tries) but when someone uses an existing field to placate your seeming issue with nicknames, you do your 'nana. Take a break. I know I'm going to. ~ Florrie • talk • 11:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Back to this again. Whatever your personal opinion may be, Jeff, the 'short name' field is there to be used if an editor requires and I'll certainly use it for Wests Tigers. You are reverting valid content and I'm struggling to see the good faith. diff 1, diff 2 •Florrie•leave a note• 13:45, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nickname 

message: Could current season be added to this infobox just like the is one on the NRL page and soccer clubs like Liverpool F.C so that on club pages such as the Canberrra Raiders there would be a link in the infobox to Canberra Raiders 2008 --sss333 (talk) 00:51, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I base most of my decisions on how the football project works. See Manchester United F.C. for why ours is currently below the jersey image. MDM (talk) 14:45, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: So it is just me who thinks it's strange? I really don't put much stock in what the soccer wikiproject does, and forgive me if this sounds too bold, but I think we're ahead of them and a few other sport wikiprojects in improving the way our articles look. If you look at all North American sports they have it at the top (also the way it used to be with rugby league), which in my view makes more sense. It really is random being sandwiched between jersey colours and past club performance records (see Brisbane Broncos). It might just be that it's soccer that needs to change, not us.--Jeff79 (talk) 03:34, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Current Season 

message: The two fields:
 | cap                = Number of caps won by most capped player
 | mostcap            = Most capped player
Cap (sport) Caps are generally understood to mean international/representative appearances and not appearance at club level. But a number of club articles use these fields to indicate the player with the most number of appearances for the club. Therefore I'm suggesting changing/adding this to something like:
 | app                = Number of games by most appeared player (sic)
 | mostapp            = Most appearances/games by a player
Thoughts? Rehnn83 Talk 09:13, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Caps & Most Caps 

message: I was just editing St. George Illawarra Dragons and was trying to incorporate NRLW info into more of the template, especially since the Dragons have been NRLW runners-up in 2019, however the premiership etc parameters don't really support adding Template:Plainlists like I did for the captain and the coach. Could someone who's more knowledgeable at templates than me add these in? It would be much appreciated. --Reader781 (talk) 06:51, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Women's League parameters 

message: I would like two duplicate sections added for premierships, premiershipyears, minorpremierships, minorpremiershipyears, runnerups, runnerupyears, spoons. One section (e.g. premierships2, etc) for "Reserve grade premierships" and one (e.g. premierships3, etc) for "3rd grade premierships"
The primary reason for this is to better categorise the statistics of Brisbane Rugby League clubs, some of which have won titles across 3 different grades, but there is no simple way of representing this in the infobox. It would also be useful for teams like the Western Suburbs Magpies or something like Penrith's junior team in the NSWRL. For the clubs where these sections would not be relevant (most current NRL sides) the sections can simply be omitted. PhinsUp23 (talk) 23:58, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
