How to put Template talk:English cricket seasons in the 21st century into this Template

edit

Having Template:{{English cricket seasons in the 21st century}} in a line (7) "Seasons" would give quick access to seasons over the last 200+ years-seems like a worthwhile goal BUT....when I do that: it looks OK except for the first line: 2001200220032004200520062007200820092010201120122013.

Any ideas how to include it?--DadaNeem (talk) 05:51, 25 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Possible changes to template

edit

Feel like there are a lot of problems with/inconsistent use of this template, especially regarding men's and women's cricket. I assume this started off as solely for men's cricket, then of course over time as women's cricket became more prominent other competitions started being added, but inconsistently: for example, the Women's Twenty20 Cup is not here. And of course all of the women's teams are missing, and most of the other sections refer solely to men's cricket.

Therefore I propose that this template becomes solely for men's cricket, with another template called Women's Cricket in England be made, to include: county teams (+ County Championship, County T20, new regional competitions), KSL teams + seasons, RHFT + Regional T20 teams + seasons, Super Fours seasons, The Hundred teams and anything else that would make sense. This could just be an expansion of the existing Template:Women's County Cricket in England.

This is just one possible solution: even if this isn't accepted, this template still needs some updating: return of the CC + RLODC for 2021 and better coverage of women's cricket, for example, and perhaps a debate on the criteria for inclusion in the 'grounds' section because I cannot work out why some are included and not others. Also the University teams are now UCCE now MCCU.

I welcome anyone's thoughts! Mpk662 (talk) 12:07, 3 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

That's an interesting thought. This template could certainly be cut down a lot - the MCC, MCCUs, the grounds could certainly be cut, and the associations put into the Other section at least. The two lines of major competitions can be brought together as well. Maybe the lists could be farmed out to their own template as well. I get the idea about having two separate templates, but it might be worth exploring ways we can keep the two together if possible - there's enough issues with approach to women's cricket anyway, and keeping the two together has some advantages from that perspective.

Template:Cricket in EnglandTemplate:Cricket in England and Wales – As the template covers articles on cricket in both England and Wales (e.g. Glamorgan, Cardiff UCCE, Sophia Gardens), the template should be renamed to reflect this. I note that there as been a (speedily closed) requested move for the corresponding Cricket in England article to be moved to Cricket in England and Wales, partly rejected due to the existence of Cricket in Wales. These two articles should definitely be kept separate, but as there is no equivalent Template:Cricket in Wales (and probably doesn't need to be), this template should reflect both countries in its title. As an aside, I have just changed this template significantly (as well as linked to all the transcluded articles) to be more representative of women's cricket, rationalised some of the grounds/tournaments included and some other changes. Probably still quite a bit of work to be done, and could probably be cut down a lot, but will probably require a more diverse input. Mpk662 (talk) 14:53, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
