Redesign
editAfter the recent (today's?) redesign of this infobox, the cell paddings and content wrappings make the infobox unnecessarily long. I hope this can be fixed as soon as possible. Shouldn't these things have been tested before making such major changes in the first place? – Editør (talk) 19:01, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- For example the infobox of Femke Bol has become almost twice as long. – Editør (talk) 22:23, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- The redesign appears to have been reverted. – Editør (talk) 19:48, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Handles edge cases where an athlete is representing a subnational team. Northern Moonlight 02:10, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit template-protected}}template. The documentation currently saysThe country or countries that the subject represents in sport, if any (not all sports involve national representation).
This says to me that you should not fill in the country if they do not play at a national level. Izno (talk) 02:26, 29 July 2024 (UTC)- National representation, unintuitively, does not always mean "country". See Hong Kong national football team and Puerto Rico national baseball team. They play at the same national level in international sports events and have a team at the Olympics independent of their sovereign state. Northern Moonlight 17:41, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Parameter country or national_team
editFor the infoxbox of an Olympian, should we fill in country or national_team or both? ~ JASWE (talk) 04:46, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
