Template talk:Current sport

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have protected this template against editing by non-admins. The reason is that this template is being repeatedly vandalized, and it is currently on many articles related to the 2006 Winter Olympics. Johntex\talk 02:15, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I have unprotected this template, as the risk for such vandalism has subsided now that the Olympics are over. The template is not used on near as many articles. --Aude (talk | contribs) 23:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Idea for the template

Well what do you guys think of adding the option of "small" like the protected templates have? In here I've played with it. I've also moved the image out in case of a protection so the images wont be over eachother. if small=yes the big thing disappears. Chandlertalk 14:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Information may change as the event progresses."

Saying "Information may change as the event progresses" seemed silly, since the score always changes. I changed it to "Information will change as the event progresses", but that had an unnecessarily bald-faced air to it. I finally settled on "Scoring and other results will change as the event progresses", which seems like a decent compromise. —Steve Summit (talk) 16:02, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I have changed it back. The template is used more generally than just for games, and scores. It also diverges from the other {{current}} templates to have different text. -- Yellowdesk 19:31, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template should be changed

So, seeing as lower down templates are being deleted, e.g. Current motor sport etc, I think we shouldn't have a football on the template page, but something more neutral and generic. The same goes for the future sport template. D.M.N. (talk) 20:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A consistent set of images

In using the image parameter, I propose to have a set of images coded with an #switch statement to maintain some sort of consistency. Otherwise, for example, one tennis article may have a different image than another tennis article. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
