I like the infobox, its badly needed, itl help keep the stats together. I put the info box on the Shane Ryan page to see how it looks. Should we remove the Appearances line, it'd be very hard to find those statistics. Frainc 00:41 May 28th

Looks good i'm goin to ask user:Boothy443 for some help with the code (Gnevin 15:44, 28 May 2006 (UTC))


How about changing the scoring bit to League 2006, and Championship 2006. It'd be easier to update on a yearly basis? Frainc 10:59 May 29th

I template that might be a good idea to catch ideas from is {{Football player infobox}}. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 08:01, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NFL

What dya write in the infobox to account for NFL titles? Frainc 15:25 8 Sept 2006

[edit] Scoring/ Appearnces

I take it this only is for Championship matchea and not NFL? (Derry Boi 13:15, 15 September 2006 (UTC))

Not all intercounty matchs but if you just have championship make just make a not at the bottom of the page saying so , i'm am planing to add the NFL/NHL to the infobox soon (Gnevin 13:24, 15 September 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Dual players

Am stuck for ideas for dual players if i just add all the titles ect again the infobox will be far to long and is a non runner in my opinion. My idea is User:Gnevin/sandbox3 this has the down side of making the infobox too wide any idea would be helpful (Gnevin 13:50, 15 September 2006 (UTC))

See also User:Gnevin/sandbox5 , looks better dont you think (Gnevin 18:20, 15 September 2006 (UTC))
Yeah second one is better I think. (Derry Boi 19:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC))

[edit] All-Ireland Club titles

Is this just All-Ireland Senior Club Championship titles?

For example Enda Muldoon has won an All-Ireland Senior Club Championship medal AND a Kilmacrud Crokes 7s All-Ireland medal. Should we count this as one, or as two (with a note at the bottom)?

Count as one we cant have every thing in the infobox its huge as it is . I'd mention the 7's in the body of the articial as its not that important in the grand scheme of things (Gnevin 13:28, 16 September 2006 (UTC))
No problem.

(Derry Boi 14:00, 16 September 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Wrapping

Why does "Gaelic football" or "Gaelic games" wrap to the next line when entered as the players sport? There seems to be plenty of room in one line. I just think it looks a bit messy. Scolaire 17:53, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Occupation??

Should there not be an entry in the player infoboxes for their jobs?? Just a thought.--Macca7174 02:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Done (Gnevin 19:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Incorporating Templates

Could you make it that the infobox incorporates templates?? useful ones are {{template:Birth date and age}} (keeps the age of the player up to date, changing it on his/her birthdate), {{template:death date and age}} (calculates age of player at date of death), {{template:height}} (converts metric and imperial units in height). see Peter Canavan for examples of a few of them (obviously, not death date)--Macca7174 19:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

The problem i see here is that clearly the death template is used to replace the living template eg if i put both in for a dead person their age will keep increasing after they have passed ,i'm going to have to think about this (Gnevin 18:58, 3 April 2007 (UTC))
Ok so i can use {{Birth date}}, leave it with me for a while(Gnevin 19:04, 3 April 2007 (UTC))
OK cheers, I was really just enquiring if it could be done, but it'd be good if you could get it going.--Macca7174 22:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Captions

Just a quick request for a caption for images - such as on Marlon Brando.--Macca7174 22:51, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I had an attempt at doing it myself, and I think I was pretty close, check the page history - I might have missed a line of code or something (I don't write too mcuh code)--Macca7174 00:28, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] italicised the Irish names

minor edit to italicise the irish names to comply with Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Foreign_terms. Plus its looks good.--Macca7174talk 20:14, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Resizing images.

Just wondering if there's a way of using a different sized image in the infobox from the default 250px one. Thanks. Derry Boi (talk) 12:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
