Template talk:Infobox cricket ground

Redundant template

IMO this template should be merged with Template:Infobox stadium. Of the major cricket grounds in Australia:

• Melbourne Cricket Ground, Brisbane Cricket Ground and Bellerive Oval uses Infobox stadium
• Sydney Cricket Ground, Adelaide Oval and WACA Ground use Infobox cricket ground

The infoboxes serve the same purpose but have a completely different look and feel. -- Chuq (talk) 05:05, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be a lot of cricket-specific information in this one which is of interest to cricket fans and wouldn't be in Template:Infobox stadium. Stephen Turner (Talk) 10:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

So what would be the easiest way of resolving the above conflict?

• Redesign T:ICG so it has the same look and feel as T:IS?
• Add the cricket specific fields to T:IS?
• Drop the cricket specific info completely?

Any other options?-- Chuq (talk) 10:36, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

i'm for adding the cricket specific fields to T:IS? --sss333 (talk) 04:17, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposal to remove lasttestdate, lastodidate etc. fields.

Discuss here. Thanks, Moondyne (talk) 03:12, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Template can be used as module

This template should be used as embed of Template:Infobox venue because lot of stadium in Australia and New Zealand used for other major sports as well as cricket. Price Zero (talk) 03:38, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Price Zero, this now works. Frietjes (talk) 15:11, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Flag variants

Please add flag variant syntax to prevent anachronisms. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 12:25, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Illegitimate Barrister, I added "var" suffixed variables for every {{cr}} and {{crw}} call. it would be much less cumbersome if we just migrated the flag generation to the articles. Frietjes (talk) 14:55, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the fix. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 15:46, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Frietjes, could you explain how this works? I have just looked at the Old Wanderers, which uses the recent SA flag for Tests beginning in 1896 and 1939. I cannot work out how to insert the relevant SA flags. 88.104.146.161 (talk) 20:35, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Map fields

This template needs support for pushpin maps field like Infobox stadium. Highest priority for pushpin_map_caption, pushpin_relief and pushpin_map like the Template:Infobox stadium Vinay84 (talk) 22:17, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Small font size

I find some sections of this infobox very difficult to read comfortably because the text is so small. I can see that on some articles that changing this would expand the overall infobox size, but am not sure if that is a good enough reason for this infobox to use such small font sizes when the manual of style regarding accessibility advises against reducing the size within elements that already use a smaller font size. What do other editors think about increasing the text to the standard font size? EdwardUK (talk) 10:51, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Rather a late reply but just had the same thought after looking at an article using this template. The small text is rather inaccessible and I would think against the accessibility guidelines. Keith D (talk) 00:00, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
