Add a template to Boston Marathon
Hello, I think it is a good idea to add a part to the infobox in Boston Marathonthat has a redirect to the latest race. In this case, being the 2019 Boston Marathon. Please ping me when updated or replied. IsraeliIdan (talk) 12:41, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Really good idea this. I've added this and made it auto-populate with the current year so it doesn't have to be updated every year for ongoing races. SFB 18:22, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Previous and next don't work
Somebody can fix this error? --Kasper2006 (talk) 14:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Done {. I would suggest to use Infobox sports competition event on the yearly marathon race article sets – I've added the parameters for champions now. SFB 23:16, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

World Athletics category
I think there should be a World Athletics (maybe just WA) category instead of just the IAAF category now. I don't know how to add this though. Jozape (talk) 18:47, 16 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I would agree. A bot would probably have to change all iaaf_category to wa_category Nordat (talk) 13:49, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Native name
On pages like Nanjing Marathon it would be good if there was an option for "native_name". Also, once you start to look at Half Marathon and longer, having a map as well as a image would be useful. Gusfriend (talk) 08:26, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Also, possibly organiser as they are often run by specific clubs, etc. Gusfriend (talk) 08:27, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Additional parameter "logo" and maybe template athletics competition
A new parameter logo like in Template:Infobox company with just one parameter and a standard size. So, you just have to enter e.g. Testpicture.svg and the infobox generates the right size logo. Because the box is also used for athletics (track) competitions it might be useful to rename it or at least create a Redirect to this one Nordat (talk) 13:47, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
