Is this a list with just one member?
editAm I having some problem with my browser rendering this page, or is it truth that this is a list article with just one entry? --damiens.rf 18:21, 8 July 2011 (UTC) No, some mexican user took it personal. I believe it's fixed now, i'm filing a complaint.El Alternativo (talk) 05:25, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
Minor titles
edit@Pacphobia: UBF is NOT a minor title check this. Seriesphile (talk · ctb) 07:44, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Here in Wikipedia, UBF is listed as minor title or "regional" See this. Pacphobia (talk) 08:08, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- The removal of the minor titles was arbitrary and unilateral, edit warring is not a replacement for discussion. I realize that the current format is cluttered and was working on changing it before my PC quitted on me (it was taking forever, I know), but unilaterally blanking content is not the way to proceed. Citing the criteria used by another list is redundant, as it is neither a guideline nor a policy. The actual Manual of Style, MOS:BOXING/TITLES, posits that all titles should be noted as long as the distinction is made between major/minor/honorary. As for interim titles, the sanctioning bodies themselves consider those as world titles and they are listed in the rankings. Also, Boxrec is a useful resource, but it is user edited and not the "final word" on anything, don't use it to edit war. If I am allowed some time, I will implement the format that was being worked, which does distinguish between major and minor titles. That should satisfy the MoS and your desire to leave recognition degrees clear. - Caribbean~H.Q. 06:51, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
About the new format
editThe format that was being worked on is this:
Number | Name | Date of first title win | Major organizations | Minor organizations | References |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | King Hippo | January 1, 2000 | Bantamweight: Undisputed30, Lineal 2
Flyweight: WBO11, WBA0 |
Bantamweight: IBO3, IBA7 | [1][2] |
It will not only remove most of the abbreviations, superfluous parentheses and ampersand, but also discard the "Ms" and "Ls" that are most likely perplexing for the layman. The superscripted template will only be used for defenses, in a way that it's easier to list individual title defenses. I have, however, also been considering the unification of the number and date fields like this:
Number | Name | Major organizations | Minor organizations | References |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 (January 1, 2000) |
Glass Joe | Bantamweight: Undisputed30, Lineal 2
Flyweight: WBO11, WBA0 |
Bantamweight: IBO3, IBA7 | [1][2] |
Which would make for a minimalist look.
