Discussion at Talk:Martin O'Donnell

Hello. There's a discussion regarding the infobox changes on the Martin O'Donnell article over at Talk:Martin O'Donnell#Infobox discussion that may be of interest to project members. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 05:40, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Infobox broken for WHA amateur draft

The Template:Infobox ice hockey biography is suddenly showing redlinks for the year a player was chosen in the WHA amateur draft – if chosen in any of the 1973 through 1976 drafts. See Bob Neely (first overall 1973), Pat Price (ice hockey) (first overall 1974), Claude Larose (ice hockey, born 1955) (first overall 1975) and Blair Chapman (first overall 1976). The template is working for players drafted by the WHA in 1977, as seen at 1977 first overall pick Scott Campbell (ice hockey, born 1957). Jmg38 (talk) 21:24, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Those years' WHA amateur draft articles have incorrect capitalization in their article names. Those should be located at e.g. 1973 WHA amateur draft instead of 1973 WHA Amateur Draft, and the template expects the correct capitalization. VanIsaac, GHTV ^cont_WpWS 01:15, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Discussion at Template_talk:Infobox_musical_artist on changing the origin label to reduce ambiguity

I posted a proposal at Template_talk:Infobox_musical_artist to address recurring confusion over the origin parameter of Template:Infobox_musical_artist. The label is currently Origin, which for individual artists incorrectly suggests to many readers and even some editors that the parameter value represents the birthplace of the artist.

Small changes to {{Infobox climbing route}}

It is easy for an ordinary editor to make small changes to infoboxes (or is that not advised)? I want to add 'first female free ascent' to {{Infobox climbing route}} - is that a big job to do, or is it something that I could do myself? thanks. Aszx5000 (talk) 13:29, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

@Aszx5000: Nope, it's pretty easy. Just click on the edit tab and take a look at how the information is organized in the template. You'll notice that there are a bunch of lines where you have "label" + # followed by "data" + # that contains all the pieces of information in the infobox. Just figure out where you want your new information to go and use that number, incrementing the numbers for all the following things. Before you save changes to the template, you need to add the parameter on an article with the template. Then use the "preview page with this template" option down below instead of the normal preview button so you can see if it works properly before you save the template changes.
