Did not advance templates
Hey, you have been changing up the 'Did not advance' statements on the page using the 'n/a' templates. Is there a reason why you think that the same should be done? As far as I know, no good page has the 'Did not advance' templates made in this way. The reason here is that using that creates confusion regarding when there was a bye, or the round was not available, the colour thus creatres confusion. Instead writing it simply helps in identifying the same more easily. What do you think about this issue? Anbans 585 (talk) 16:26, 1 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I think the color gradient is more useful for a reader, for instance see the other users using such template at India at the 2022 World Athletics Championships, well there is no problem if you remove it! Just increasing my edit count :) But using abbreviation tool is completely necessary because what DNF stands for a random reader? Hope you understood that. Cheers!

 * @Sneha04 Thanks for the reply. Yes, I agree with the abbreviations. I had reverted your change by mistake and then self-reverted to bring back the abbreviations. Anbans 585 (talk) 16:59, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Track events
@Sneha04 I think that the track results displayed should be displayed with only the heat results. This is because in track events, if say 10 athletes have to qualify for the next round, even then an athlete positioned 13 can qualify for the next round and someone at the 10th position may not qualify for the next round (in the overall rankings). That is qualification primarily happens on the basis of the individual heat results. The same does not happen in the field events where the overall standings of all the groups is taken into account. In swimming the overall rank of the athletes across all heats matter and there even the race winner may not qualify for the final, that is why the overall rank is written there. I understand that you have been editing the newer pages like India's performance at the World Championship etc. You may want to look into better quality pages like United States at the 2020 Summer Olympics and India at the 2020 Summer Olympics for reference. Why do you think that the statement I made above is not valid? Anbans 585 (talk) 15:38, 4 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Your logic is perfect! Thanks for the clarification but Pages like Canada at the 2022 Commonwealth Games are putting as per overall ranking. See the heat result of Women's 400 m, here Sneha04   💬 15:53, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Sneha04 The commonwealth pages are not of good quality. This is quite evident from the fact that many country pages don't have the results updated on their pages, even after 2 days of an event being completed. Even many events in which India has won medal, don't have their own pages despite the fact that there are so many Indian Wikipedians editing this page. On the other hand the olympics pages are of entirely different quality. You can even check the Canada at the 2020 Summer Olympics for reference. The page organisation, event pages are very nicely referenced and detailed on the olympic pages. Anbans 585 (talk) 16:42, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Medal tally
Medal tally of each common wealth game to get easy understanding of the no. Of medals by each country on one page or either we have to move various pages seems toxic. 2409:4063:4280:98F2:785B:4272:B8B1:5B9D (talk) 16:22, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Different page seems to be a better idea, since showing all of the content on a single page would just overload the pages, and decrease visibility.--Anbans 585 (talk) 21:06, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
