Template talk:Infobox college wrestling team

message: Can we add a parameter for non-NCAA national championships?  i.e., Pre-NCAA era?  My Oregon State Beavers won a national championship in 1924, but as this template stands there would be no place to add that.  Also, conference tourament champions should probably be changed to just conference championships in general, or add regular season and tourament championships.  Oregon State has won 45 conference championships, but I have no idea how many of them were tournaments. VegaDark 02:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I made a few changes, I hope that is ok.  We may want to simply list a number instead of each year for some of the championship parameters. Also "NCAA Tournament Champions" may want to be renamed to "NCAA Tournament Championships". VegaDark 04:00, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't feel comfortable with this template and would like to take time in the next week or so to re-design it.  The small group of college wrestling wikipedians have been using a different box, not formalized yet as a template, with a lot of satisfaction.  Ashlux unilaterally decide to switch what has been used to a college basketball template.  I'm willing to do the extra work involved in changing this template from basketball to what we have been using, but honestly resent having to do it.  Examples of the box currently used for wrestling is at Iowa Hawkeyes wrestling and Minnesota Golden Gophers wrestling.  I hope I'm not being out of line, but I have worked very hard at upgrading the college wrestling articles and I am willing to collaborate with others to improve them further, but resent not being collaborated with in a manner I would expect from a fellow wikipedian.

replies: text: What exactly is your issue(s) with this new infobox, it is very similar to the content in other team infoboxes (see :Category:Sports_infobox_templates)?  I would like you to be comfortable with the template, but more specifics are necessary.  On another topic (and I am not trying to be offensive, insulting, hostile, etc) but there is no ownership of Wikipedia articles (see WP:OWN). -- Ash Lux (talk | contribs) 03:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Aside from me not consulting a group of people focused on improving college wrestling Wikipedians, what exactly is your problem with the newly created infobox (the version I am referring to is http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_College_Wrestling_Team&oldid=115480388).  Or are you upset with it out of principle?  -- Ash Lux (talk | contribs) 03:57, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Template

message: As there is obviously some disagreement as to what this infobox should look like & include, let's discuss here.  I think the parameters should be:

Years of winning championships can be included in the body of the article, we don't need to list every year in the infobox. I'm also not sure we need to include info on the current season in the infobox, that can also go in the body of the article. VegaDark 00:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Discussion

message: Not to complain, but I came accross an article with this template and it looks bad with so many fields not works right. I fixed the "university" field. Who ever made it needs to finish their work, the empty syntax part has fields in it that are not in the actual infobox, and there is no "update date" filed in the empty syntax. Additionally parser functions should be used for all fields. Aboutmovies 01:28, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am still very unsatisfied with what information this template currently contains and think the version I created a while back was leaps and bounds ahead of what this is currently.  I plan on adding this information back in within a week if nobody has any complaints. VegaDark (talk) 03:33, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

message: This issue has come about with regard to Clarion Golden Eagles wrestling.
Clarion is one of three institutions in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education that merged into the new Pennsylvania Western University (branded as PennWest) on July 1, 2022, with each institution becoming a new PennWest campus under the formal name of "Pennsylvania Western University Location". However, the page for each campus (California, Clarion, Edinboro) was moved to the brand name of "PennWest Location". (The athletic programs are still branded solely with their locations.) How do we account for cases in which the page for the university doesn't match the formal school name? (There are a good number more than just Clarion, but that's the one that came to my mind.) — Dale Arnett (talk) 19:04, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
