[edit] Cat box on Frank White
Hmm. The cat box on Frank White (baseball) reads
- Categories: 1978 American League All-Stars | 1979 American League All-Stars | 1981 American League All-Stars | 1982 American League All-Stars | 1986 American League All-Stars | Kansas City Royals players | Major league second basemen | 1950 births
It could read
- Categories: 1978-thru-1979 American League All-Stars | 1981-thru-1982 American League All-Stars | 1986 American League All-Stars | Kansas City Royals players | Major league second basemen | 1950 births
increasing readability and reducing articles' cat-box bloat. The costs involved are
- additional cats for each run of 2 or more consecutive seasons that actually occurs in the corresponding league, and
- the player bio not appearing direction in 1978 and in 1979, but only indirectly (Category:1978-thru-1979 American League All-Stars would be a sub-cat of both Category:1978 American League All-Stars & Category:1979 American League All-Stars, permitting easy access "down" to the multi-year players.
If nobody explains here what a lousy idea this is, i may remember to come back and implement those two ranges & re-cat White accordingly as a pilot case.

- See 21-time All Star player Hank Aaron for an even more bloated case. Since many All Star players appear more than one year, would it not make more sense to have just one category for each league, or perhaps at the most one category per league per decade (e.g. Category:National League All-Stars in the 1960s). The breakdown can them be moved to a list of players for each game (possibly there already is such an article, I'm not sure). — sjorford (talk) 12:07, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
