Revision as of 13:55, August 15, 2015
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.
