[edit] Expos

It seems inappropriate to have Montreal Expos and Washington Nationals at equal billing in this template. This clashes with all other current MLB navboxes. The fact that the move only occurred three years ago does not make this a special case. Either it needs to go the way of Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins, Baltimore Orioles, Milwaukee Brewers et al., and just list its former incarnation in the table, or the navbox should be split in two: one for the current franchise, and another for the defunct Expos. --Xyzzyva (talk) 19:51, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I decided to be bold and begin a split of navboxes by creating Template:Montreal Expos. I have not yet tried to replace the Nationals box with it on the Expos-related pages. I wanted to get more consensus before that. Once that is complete, the Nationals box could be trimmed down to DC-only stuff, if we want. --Xyzzyva (talk) 23:11, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Looks good to me. Skeezix1000 (talk) 11:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
