message: , Mysterious Walker has gone over the limit of 30 coaching fields. Can we raised the limited to say 40? Thanks, Jweiss11 (talk) 19:43, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Could we add a birth_name field? 

message: Could someone add to the template "player_years21" and "player_team21" parameters, because I was working on a draft for Shan Deniston, who played for more than 20 teams(!), and the 21st team will not show in the infobox. Thanks. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:45, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: To add to my request, could you also add "player_years22" "player_team22" "player_years23" "player_team23" "player_years24" "player_team24" "player_years25" and "player_team25"? Thanks. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:56, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I keep finding more teams that Deniston played for! It's up to 26 now, so could someone add "player_years" and "player_team" parameters up to 30 to display all his teams? Thanks. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:30, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

text: FWIW per WP:BASESTYLEPL, WikiProject Baseball typically doesn't list minor league teams for which a person played, presumably because there are typically too many. Not sure if there is different standard for college coach's playing careers.—Bagumba (talk) 03:33, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

text: , although I see your point about the infobox being "ten miles long," there are a few reasons that I'd oppose removing the minor league teams from the ibox: (1) The minor leagues were the highest level in baseball that Deniston played in, so removing them would make it look like he didn't even play through a quick glance at the ibox, (2) in the page Bagumba pointed out it says the list-major-league-teams-only rule applies , the integration era started in 1947 with Jackie Robinson, right? Deniston played part of his career prior to that (and I don't think it'd make sense to list his teams from '39-46, and not from '47-55), and so those teams should be listed, I believe. (3) Though I don't remember where, I thought I've seen baseball articles that don't follow those guidelines. (4) In American football, in which Deniston also played in the minor leagues, the non-major teams are listed in the infobox, so I also don't think it would make sense to list the minor football teams, but not baseball. And (6) though I know this is not a valid reason, I like it :) BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:08, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: 30 will probably be enough, but I'm not 100% certain (I've so far found 27(!) teams played for. That has to be some kind of record...). I'll probably get the figure needed by tomorrow. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:29, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

replies: text:  Ok, I think I've found all of his teams, and if my numbers are accurate, he played for exactly 30, so expanding the "player_years" and "player_team" parameters to 30 will be enough. Thanks. Also, could you try to find why the 22nd team in the infobox isn't showing (Estherville Cardinals/Red Sox)? BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:43, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

message: With the Deion Sanders article increasing in popularity recently I was wondering if there should be a field for Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees. Although Sanders is a bit of an anomaly in that I don't think any other HOFer is a college coach right now it would let the infobox be a little more detailed in case of future situations and hopefully will not make the box too cumbersome.
