Template talk:Infobox Tournament

Tournament series navigation

Example of what I'm trying to implement.

Not redundant at all considering it's a infobox. The point of a infobox is to give essential and very basic info about the tournament right away, while the text flesh out information. I'm trying to write the wiki text in a way that it shows this. The last edition, the tournament series main page and the next edition. OR the tournament series main page at the top, the last, current and next editions right bellow. PFFP (talk) 14:27, 15 August 2015 (EDT)

Using the Wikipedia template for the Super Bowl as an example is kind of questionable given a) we're not Wikipedia and have different standards, and b) even some of our biggest series nav templates don't come close to the number of Super Bowls there have been. On top of that, the time it would take to navigate to the nav template at the bottom of a page like Super Bowl XLIX is hardly comparable to the time needed on a page like MLG Atlanta 2004. My point is it would clutter the infobox with navigation info that doesn't really add anything in that position. Miles (talk) 14:38, 15 August 2015 (EDT)

I used the Super Bowl page just to show the style of wiki text they used, which I like for its simplicity, but I'm actually more fond of the wiki text used to showcase a musician's discography chronology in their template for album infoboxes. But I get your point, it's too much for too little. Still, like the conversation on the List of National Tournaments talk page, I'm looking for ways to improve the competitive pages, specially the tournament pages.

If your goal is ease of both listing tournament series and navigation across their individual events, I think nav templates and a "List of tournament series" page for the regional and larger series would be a better approach. Miles (talk) 15:05, 15 August 2015 (EDT)

Add a "p+winner" parameter?

I recently noticed that in both this template and {{Infobox Series}} P+ tournaments still have their winners classified under the "pmwinner" parameter, meaning the PM icon is displayed. I'm thinking it would be better to add a "p+winner" parameter so that the P+ icon is present in the table instead. I'm hesitant to unilaterally make the change, so I'm offering up the suggestion here first. Unfortified Castle 13:07, June 17, 2021 (EDT)

Parameter is now visible in the Usage section, and it's been matched with one in the Infobox Tournament Series template as well. Unfortified Castle 20:02, June 18, 2021 (EDT)

Tournament tier parameter

As suggested by Stuart98 on Discord, there should probably be a parameter listing the tier score of a tournament (S, A, B, C etc.) and the season for which it was evaluated (i.e. Fall 2019 PGRU). --Rdrfc (talk) 06:33, January 26, 2022 (EST)

The only thing I don't really like about this is the fact that it would only really apply to Smash 4 (v3-PGR 100) and Ultimate. (Brawl technically has tiers too, but those are only revealed after a ranking period is over, and those generally last 2 years... probably 3+ years for the current ranking period.)

Well, Brawl's tiers being retroactively applied is not a reason to not eventually list them in the infobox. As for Melee and 64, it would not be used now, but nothing really prevents the panelists for those games' rankings to adopt a tournament score system in the future. --Rdrfc (talk) 16:54, February 3, 2022 (EST)

I support this. --Meester Tweester (talk) 18:26, February 3, 2022 (EST)
