I recently noticed that in both this template and <nowiki>{{Infobox Series}}</nowiki> 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. <span style="font-family: Albertus Medium; font-size: 10pt">[[User:Unfortified Castle|<font color="#041e42">Unfortified</font>]] [[User talk:Unfortified Castle|<font color="#ffc72c">Castle</font>]]</span> [[File:UnfortifiedCastleSig.png|20px]] 13:07, June 17, 2021 (EDT)

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)

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 UnfortifiedCastleSig.png 13:07, June 17, 2021 (EDT)
