Template talk:Infobox NCAA football rankings

Updating behavior of Next/Prev links
This template relies on re-directions for particular season years: Template:Infobox NCAA football rankings

Please edit, such that the <> links follow the expected convention of: 1936~1955 => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19xx_NCAA_football_rankings 1956~1972 => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19xx_NCAA_University_Division_football_rankings 1973~1977 => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19xx_NCAA_Division_I_football_rankings 1978~2009/+ => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19|20xx_NCAA_Division_I-A_football_rankings

 * ✅ By the way, there is now a new template out there for automatically generating yearly college football division text. It's called cfb division. The 'year' parameter is pretty self-explanatory. The 'showyear' parameter determines whether or not the year is included in the generated text. De  Fault  Ryan  05:29, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Suggest expand to other divisions
It would be helpful to expand this template to include NCAA FCS, Div II, DIV II, and even NAIA rankings. I don't know much about templates--can someone take this on?--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:24, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Replacement of Template:No.
Per Template:No./doc, that template should only be used for comics, so shouldn't really be used here. MOS:HASH also states that the hash symbol (#) should not be used to represent "number" (again, other than in comics). I therefore propose that the following line in this template:

| label3 = Preseason #1

be changed to:

| label3 = No. 1

Pre-bowl seasons display a nonexistent bowl games article
I've created some older articles using this template, such as 1905 college football rankings.

The infobox automatically displays a redlinked 1905–06 bowl games row, which should not exist.

The 1934–35 NCAA football bowl games was the first with multiple bowls, I believe.

Previously, only the Rose Bowl was played. In 1902 and then from 1916 onward.

Can the infoxbox be made to not display that row for pre-bowl seasons?
