[edit] Last win and Last Grand Prix columns

User:Pchc87 added the "Last win" and "Last Grand Prix" stats to the template recently (but filled in relevant the stats in the Michael Schumacher article only). I have a couple of questions:

• What do you all think of these? Are they good additions to the template?
• What is the correct entry for M. Schumacher's "Last Grand Prix?" I put the 2006 Italian GP there (as it was the last race he contested to date), but it was changed to Brazil and now it's blank. Majin Izlude ^talk! 19:11, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I think "Last win" is useful. I think "Last race" is important in template:Former F1 driver but I don't have strong feelings about whether or not it's included in this template. Note that if it is included in this template, then every current driver article needs to be updated after every Grand Prix. DH85868993 10:17, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] edit link

Just wondering whether we should remove the "edit" link from the template, to discourage accidental editing and/or vandalism. DH85868993 00:06, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Removed (a while back). DH85868993 02:22, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
