[edit] Markup

I seem to have lost a little faint separator line when I made an edit recently. The CSS style info in this template is beyond me. If someone could figure out how to put that line back in, I'd appreciate it.

On a separate issue, I think it's a bad thing if reasonably competent people can't edit a page on a wiki. After all, it's supposed to be editable by anyone. I'm quite familiar with Wikipedia templates, optional infobox sections, etc. and vaguely familiar with CSS, and yet I still can't figure out what I broke, so perhaps this infobox is a bit too esoteric as it is.

Though, I do have to say, as esoteric as it is, the code is very well structured and commented. (MrBoo, I suspect you may be a professional web developer and/or programmer.) --P3d0 11:40, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I am a professional software developer, and I do some web development as a hobby (or at least I did, until I discovered Wikipedia!). However, I can't take credit in this case - I copied the page from the {{Infobox Ice Hockey Player}} page, then changed a few things here and there. I'll have a look at your changes and see if I can see what's wrong. --MrBoo (talk, contribs) 12:47, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
I want to make the Pro career portion optional (for NCAA-only players)...I'd think that would be by adding {{#if: {{{career_start|}}}| at the top of that section? I didn't do it for fear of accidentally blowing up Wichita.--Diogenes00 02:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hall of Fames

Added the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame & the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame to the player infobox. I think it is a nice feature from the NFL player infobox & NHL player infobox. I used the coloring from the NHL. There is probably a better color to use. The NHL color is perfect for hockey because (its like ice), but for lacrosse just "so-so". Ideas, comments?

First time working in a template. Happy I didn't (appear to) blow it up Mitico 18:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
