Template talk:2019 Cricket World Cup points table

Style of table
Any particular reason we have changed from the new style (as it was at 08:36, 22 July 2018‎) - to an old format that has been abandoned by everybody else. Also note that the descriptions (under the table) are confusing (with "eliminated" just hanging there with no context). I note that these outdated formats have also proliferated in the T20 World Cup pages - it's not 2010 anymore. 58.111.212.231 (talk) 07:18, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
 * You're lucky we didn't stick with this one! I think the table with the qualification column and only the teams progressing being coloured is better too. Spike &#39;em (talk) 08:00, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
 * No objects raised, so I've reverted to the version mentioned. Spike &#39;em (talk) 10:14, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

My query about the "Style of table" focuses on the last column headed "Qualification". My query is this: Would the text in the green box for the CURRENT TOP FOUR (my emphasis) be easier to understand if it read "These four will advance to the semi-finals based on latest results only" or similar qualified notation.

Changed again
The template has been edited by someone who seems to have missed the changes made to Wikipedia since 2015 to add (Q) for qualified and leaving the colours constant. Also there should be a (H) = Host tag as well 42.62.207.8 (talk) 08:22, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Reverted, not sure about the (H) myself, but anyone else have any thoughts? Spike &#39;em (talk) 10:01, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I've also requested that a variant gets created for this and other cricket points tables. I see in there that (H) seems reasonably standard. Spike &#39;em (talk) 14:35, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I've created a cricket based module, with an example here. Any thoughts before I make this version live? Something else I found in the ICC docs is that the tournament is seeded, with England 4th instead of 1st. Spike &#39;em (talk) 16:03, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Came here just to ask why the table wasn't ordered by icc or alphabet rankings. Guess this answers that?Spike &#39;em Usedtobecool (talk) 17:25, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Usedtobecool@undefined the tournament is seeded according to ICC ratings on the qualifying date which was back in 2017. Spike &#39;em (talk) 18:10, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Module
I've converted this to a module based table, happy to answer any questions about this, or amend the module if there are problems with it. Spike &#39;em (talk) 13:17, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Clinched / eliminated from semi-finals?
Does the table have provision for indicating that teams have clinched a semi-final berth, or are eliminated? As the table stands I find it quite strange, it reads as if the top 4 are already through to the semi-finals, and the bottom 6 have already been eliminated. Adpete (talk) 01:13, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, use the H, adding Q when a team secures a semi-final berth or E when they are eliminated. They can all probably then be removed once the tournament is over. Spike &#39;em (talk) 07:49, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it would help to have the text "(Q) Qualified, (E) Eliminated" at the bottom of the table next to "(H) Host". I also think "Eliminated" in the right hand column of the table is redundant, and I haven't seen it in comparable tables e.g. Template:2018–19 Premier League table, Template:AFL Ladder/2019, 2018–19 NBA season. Adpete (talk) 23:07, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Didn't notice this reply before, but when the Q's and E's get added to the statuses, the corresponding explanation at the bottom will appear automatically. Spike &#39;em (talk) 14:55, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Rules for classification
What is the source for the "rules for classification" line? The template gives:
 * 1) Points; 2) Wins; 3) Net run rate; 4) Results of games between tied teams; 5) Pre-tournament seeding

But I can't find any source for that. And according to the document "ICC MEN’S ONE DAY INTERNATIONAL PLAYING CONDITIONS", downloaded from https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/cricket/rules-and-regulations/playing-conditions, section 16.10.1, it should be:
 * 1) Points; 2) Wins; 3) Results of games between tied teams; 4) Net Run Rate

So should it be changed? Adpete (talk) 11:45, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Section 16.10.1 of the CRICKET WORLD CUP 2019 PLAYING CONDITIONS states:

In the event of teams finishing on equal points in the League Stage, the ordering of teams will be decided in the following order of priority:
 * The team with the most wins in the League Stage will be placed in the higher position.
 * If there are teams with equal points and equal wins in the League Stage then in such case the teams will be ordered according to their net run rate in the League Stage matches (refer to 16.10.4 below for the calculation of net run rate).
 * If there are teams that are still equal, they will be ordered according to the result(s) of the head to head match(es) played between them (points, then if still equal, net run rate in those matches).
 * If the above does not resolve the League Stage ordering and there are teams that are still equal, the teams will be ordered as per their League Stage seedings.
 * If all matches in the League Stage produce no results the teams will be ordered as per their League Stage seedings and the top 4 seeded teams will progress to Semi-Finals. Spike &#39;em (talk) 12:04, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

OK, thanks for that. The template footnote is indeed correct. I have added that document as an EL at 2019 Cricket World Cup. Adpete (talk) 12:46, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 8 June 2019
Maybe edit the "eliminated;" in the bottom half of the table to "Eliminated" so it doesn't look like it was edited by a 2 year old 58.111.245.69 (talk) 11:41, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ but please WP:AGF Spike &#39;em (talk) 11:52, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
 * A 2 year old?? The difference is a semicolon and lower/upper case letter. What has this to do with a 2 year old? --Anaxagoras13 (talk) 15:53, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Please show us a 2 year old who can write eliminated!--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 15:54, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Net Run Rate?
Seeing as this is the first implementation of the module, what are people's thoughts on the NRR calculations? Would it be better to just have one field to enter an externally calculated NRR rather than maintain 4 separate values? (The points total is calculated rather than entered) Spike &#39;em (talk) 11:52, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Why was "+" removed from the positive NRRs? "+" is used by ICC, CricBuzz, etc. 117.198.249.6 (talk) 16:29, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The maths routine that calculates the NRR does not put a + at the start, though it should not be difficult to add if people want it. As a counterpoint to the above, neither Cricinfo nor BBC have a + sign on their table.

Qualification status colors only after confirmation
Made a good faith change to the table where the qualification status and subsequent background colors or  are only displayed after a team has a 100% confirmed spot in the semi-finals or is 100% mathematically confirmed to be eliminated from the tournament. Hope it helps! Cheers everyone.

Kvwiki1234 (talk) 04:48, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The sports table module is used in many other sports articles without problems so I'm going to revert those changes. Letters get added to teams once they qualify / get eliminated. Spike &#39;em (talk) 05:44, 10 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I just think it's incredibly misleading to highlight the top 4 teams in green so early in the tournament. No team has a confirmed spot in the semi final yet. Anyone second this opinion? Vote? Kvwiki1234 (talk) 06:38, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * As an example of another current sporting event using the module in a similar way see 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. Spike &#39;em (talk) 06:59, 10 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I agree it is missleading. It makes it look like its completed. The background colour should be blue for the advance positions and only change to green when advance is locked in - as this is the final colour. The system we have now doesn't make sense... we add "A" and "E", but then remove them after everyone has "A" and "E"? Bizarre. Dacium (talk) 07:06, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * It is possible to change the colours row-by-row, but as mentioned, this table is based on modules used in plenty of other sporting events that do the same thing. I accept that moving from how cricket tables used to be processed may cause a bit of confusion, but the table will be around for a lot longer than the tournament lasts, so I would say that what it looks like after the tournament happens is more important. Spike &#39;em (talk) 08:07, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The system we have now does make sense... we add "A" and "E" on a temporary basis, but then remove them after group stage has been completed. Other sporting events - such as Soccer/Football and many Olympic sports - are handled the same way on Wikipedia. Matilda Maniac (talk) 09:46, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. As far as I can see, this is the same table currently in the template.

change SriLanka(E) to SriLanka. 103.133.135.191 (talk) 20:57, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
 * ❌ Sri Lanka can't make the top 4, as they cannot match England's win total. Spike &#39;em (talk) 21:32, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
