Talk:2023 Canadian Premier League season

Champions League qualification
Should there be a separate league table for Champions league qualification as to not overcomplicate a league table that would already include playoff qualification? Similar to how the MLS pages use the conference tables for playoffs and the overall table for continental qualification? Personally I think something like that would provide more clarity.

 * I think it would be odd to have two essentially identical standings templates on the same article. It works for MLS because of the conferences. If the table gets too cluttered, we can add a section or subsection for CCL qualification with two bullet points. Something like:
 * X FC as regular season champions
 * Y FC as Finals champions. BLAIXX 02:05, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Standings table format
I noticed you split the top level like

It may be my personal preference, but I'm not a big fan of the double height first row. Not sure what the best solution is there, maybe we can use one colour (for the play-offs) and with C/S and notes indicate who qualified for the CL? CRwikiCA  talk 01:24, 20 March 2023 (UTC)


 * My rational was that the split would be able to show both playoff and CCL qualification separately. Which might be more clear once we have a Playoff champion or other team qualifying. For example:


 * Because of how complicated the playoff procedure is now, I am not really sure how to best display both ways. Maybe we could just add the CCL qualification to the status text like this:


 * Ultimately I was just experimenting, feel free to revert it if you think there's a better way to display these things. <b style="color: #B02E26">Red</b><b style="color: #3B7FCA">Blue</b><b style="color: #69C05D">Green</b><b style="color: #000000">93</b> (talk) 02:04, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * To me, the first example is far too cluttered and I think it would be confusing for a lot of readers. There is a section on this article titled "2024 CONCACAF Champions League" which has a table of qualifying teams so I don't know if we have to also indicate that on the standings table. I will think about this some more. <b style="color: #329604">B</b><b style="color: #FD8F42">L</b><b style="color: #0096FF">A</b>IXX 13:10, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I think I agree with you, I think 's second example (all greens) is clearest. And I think the note about the CL with the C and S letter should suffice in addition to the section on CL qualification further down the article. CRwikiCA  <i style="color:navy">talk</i> 14:07, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I will implement the second option as no one disagrees and it seems the cleanest look. CRwikiCA  <i style="color:navy">talk</i> 20:50, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Duplication in navboxes
I noticed that 2023 Canadian Premier League season by team is already included in 2023 in Canadian soccer, is there a reason to have this as a second navbox? , I see you guys have edited both the template and articles, do you see a benefit that I'm overlooking?

 * You should leave a note at WT:FOOTY. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 21:01, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I suppose the benefit is that the first template has fewer links and makes it easier to find what you are looking for if you want to navigate between articles related to the 2023 CPL season. <b style="color: #329604">B</b><b style="color: #FD8F42">L</b><b style="color: #0096FF">A</b>IXX 02:43, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * The question is whether it is actually easier to navigate things this way and if it is, is it because the general template is too complex? CRwikiCA  <i style="color:navy">talk</i> 14:59, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * {was brought here from WT:FOOTY note) seems redundant and repetition of information which then needs to update in two places. --SuperJew (talk) 19:40, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I can't think of any other league that has a separate navbox for its clubs' individual season articles. For example, Template:2022–23 in English men's football seems to work just fine for Premier League teams. – PeeJay 06:50, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I only know of Template:2023 MLS season by team. <b style="color: #329604">B</b><b style="color: #FD8F42">L</b><b style="color: #0096FF">A</b>IXX 16:40, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * That might go some way to explaining why this template exists for Canadian teams, but since we also have Template:2023 in American men's soccer, there's no need for Template:2023 MLS season by team to exist either. – PeeJay 17:11, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
