Content
editWhat should be included and in what catagories and order? I propose something like:
Image |
Personal Info Real Name Birth Place DOB Height (ft) Weight (lb) |
Career Heya Rank Record Debut First Highest Promotion Date (Juryo,Makuuchi, Sanyaku,Ozeki,Yokozuna) Yusho# for heighest level won (makuuchi,makushita,sandanme,jonidan) |
etc |
I think there ought to be things like: total wins, number of makuuchi/other yusho, number of 3shos, date of first dohyo appearance, first makuuchi appearance, perhaps favourite technique, etc. most of that stuff can be found directly on nihon sumo kyokais website. i, however, have no idea about how to put that into any kind of form/if it could somehow be automatically updated (ie- the record everytime he wins/loses)柱
Real name needs to be changed to birth name. For one, foreign wrestlers who take Japanese citizenship have there legal names changed. For two, when they are in the sumo, their real name is their shikona, I would argue. So, it should be changed to birth name. XinJeisan 08:34, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- The only trouble with making that change is that it would have to be adjusted in every article where this is used. I can make it an either/or thing though. TCC (talk) (contribs) 04:25, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Date of Death
editI tried to add a date of death and place of death to the infobox, but it doesn't seem to be working. Can someone figure out what I am doing wrong? thanks XinJeisan 00:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
- I fixed the problem, however I do not think place of death should be included as it is not very relevant information. Place of birth gives you original nationality, which is important with restrictions on foreigners in sumo. Yukata Ninja 18:34, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Landscape images
editThoughts on adding the parameter "Landscape" (Seen at Template:Infobox_musical_artist#landscape) to this template so it can display wide short images better? Currently sumo images that are horizontal look so puny compared to other infoboxes. For example compare the image at Tokushōryū Makoto to the one at Black Sabbath. I don't have any of the technical knowledge on how these templates display images, but I don't think this proposition can be seen as controversial. Xfansd (talk) 16:50, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
- No objection from me. It would clearly improve the display of the image. P-K3 (talk) 23:26, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- Seems like we just need someone with the technical know-how to add it. I certainly don't know how. Xfansd (talk) 01:27, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
