Short description
editWhy is the short description for this template "Rugby player"? Senior Captain Thrawn (talk) 16:15, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Senior Captain Thrawn: Because in the documentation, an example is given for the use of this template embedding/embedded in {{Infobox rugby biography}}. That rugby infobox automatically adds a short description if none is present, hence it gets added to this page. This could be fixed by adding a short description to Template:Infobox football biography/doc, or preventing {{Infobox rugby biography}} from adding short descriptions outside the mainspace. S.A.

Description of suggested change: Can add transfer money and assists?
Hainotdeptrai (talk) 03:23, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Can you add transfer money and assists to complete player information Hainotdeptrai (talk) 03:24, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- You need to gain consensus for these changes first. From memory, including assists has been proposed before but rejected. It is probably worth making the proposals at WT:FOOTY for greater visibility. Cheers, Number 57 04:00, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Proposal
editCan we add a nickname section to the infobox? I think if politicians and other figures have nicknames in their infoboxes (e.g Scomo) then so should soccer players (e.g CR7). Schestos (talk) 12:26, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- No, this is a silly idea. Footballer nicknames are trivial and fan-led. GiantSnowman 14:41, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

- Not always, some are used by players. Schestos (talk) 22:38, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
