[edit] Image size
Some infobox images on wrestlers' pages, for example Rey Mysterio, Torrie Wilson, and Eddie Guerrero are far too small. You can't change this in the individuals infoboxes, so can somebody edit the template so this isn't the case? I don't know how to. HamishMacBeth 20:06, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The info box
I think the info box should include the name of the wrestler's theme song.--Hornetman16 20:22, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

- I second that. 83.233.58.34 00:37, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Resides
I've removed the "resides" field from the template because it fails WP:V, WP:CITE and WP:BIO. It's never sourced and could just be completely made up. I asked a while back on WP:PW and whilst nobody really supported it, nobody objected. BertieBasset 00:50, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- WP:PW has recently agreed to include countries in the infobox. In the case of wrestlers like Glen Jacobs and Shannon Spruill who were born outwith their current country of resides, the field is necessary to avoid confusion. Moreover, anything on Wikipedia is potentially "completely made up"; this is not a compelling rationale. McPhail 01:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

- If you need compelling rationale, you could read the bit where it fails WP:V, WP:CITE and WP:BIO. To say it is necessary for the reason you give doesn't make sense, who would really assume that despite appearing weekly on American television, Jacobs still resides in Spain?

- There are plenty of American/Canadian/Mexican wrestlers who regularly cross the border and wrestle in Canada/Mexico/America. WP:V, WP:CITE and WP:BIO could potentially be used to remove any field from the infobox. The field is optional, so it doesn't have to been included, but it makes sense to retain the option.

[edit] Championships
I would like to add a "Current Championships" section to the bottom of the template. I just figured I would ask opinions here first. Obviously this section would only include championship belt(s) which are currently held by that wrestler.
- eg. Chavo Guerrero - ECW Chamionship
- eg. Kia Stevens - TNA Women's Championship and NWA World Women's Championship
This list would not get too big, wrestlers usually wont hold multiple belts at once for very long. --Skyhawker666 (talk) 03:37, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- I suggest bringing this up at WP:PW, where more people will see the discussion. TJ Spyke 00:53, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- Skyhawker666's change was wrapped in a conditional, so it would only be seen in any article that actually used it (i.e. it would not "effect hundreds of articles".) So what's the big deal? — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 01:08, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- The section would be either added or updated when the title changes hands. Thanks for your approval Andrwsc, however I appreciate the link to WP:PW I will bring it up there as well. Thankyou --Skyhawker666 (talk) 08:52, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Possible parameters
It would seem that "manager(s)" would be a good optional parameter to add to this infobox, along with "nickname(s)". Also, something similar to how Infobox actor approaches awards listing, there could be a championships parameter. This would cut down on the compulsion to use lists within the articles. Just suggestions, though. Chickenmonkey (talk) 14:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] POV?
I think using John Cena as an example breaches Point of view. What do we do? --Kaizer13 (talk) 20:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
