Wikilinked years in sports
I wikilinked the years to the article on the year in sports. Leave me a message if there's any problems with this. --Jtalledo (talk) 22:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


 * This only becomes a problem when the founding "season" is spread over two calendar years, such as "1936-37". See recent edits to American Hockey League. Flibirigit 09:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * We'd have to follow the calendar year. You don't say the NBA was founded on 1946-47. -- Howard  the   Duck  09:30, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Singles?
I have removed the "singles" parameter because it is showing up in every instance of this template. The parameter is not documented, and I'm not clear what it might mean. If you're going to add it back, please document it and make it optional. Rolando 23:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * After explanation by Valoem, added back as an optional parameter. Rolando 00:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Name
Can someone add in the option of writing in a different title, as opposed the name just being the article's name. For example, so Celtic League (rugby union) will say just Celtic League in the box, instead of having (rugby union)....? Narrasawa 05:11, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I've added the title parameter. -- Howard  the   Duck  06:20, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Country / flag
What is the consensus for country/flag inclusion where there is a single team from another country (eg. a single Canadian teams in the NBA (United States competition), a single New Zealand teams in the NRL (Australian competition))? I would have thought that unless it was a mixed competition (eg. Super 14 has almost equal numbers of South African, Australian and New Zealand clubs) that the flag of the nation that hosts the league would be used (ie. US flag for NBA, Aus flag for NRL - but S.A., Aus and NZ flags for Super 14.). Looking through the articles it seems usage goes the other way. -- Chuq 09:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * For leagues where the teams had to go through a qualifying tournament in their respective countries (like in order to qualify in the UEFA Champions League, you'd have to finish first-fourth in the strongest countries), I'd recommend adding a flag; for those which do not (like the NBA and NHL), I'd recommend no flag to be displayed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Howard the Duck (talk • contribs) 23:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The differences that I see:
 * National Basketball Association - 30 teams (29 United States, 1 Canadian) -> US flag
 * National Rugby League - 15 teams (14 Australian, 1 New Zealand) -> Aus flag
 * National Basketball League (Australia) - 12 teams (10 Australian, 1 NZ, 1 Singapore) -> Aus flag
 * A-League - 8 teams (7 Australian, 1 NZ) -> Aus flag
 * In these cases, the Canadian/NZ/Singapore teams are "guest" teams, playing in another nations tournament
 * UEFA Champions League, AFC Champions League, etc - number of teams from each country vary year to year -> no flag
 * For International club football tournaments, there are a huge number of countries involved, and the countries can vary each year
 * Super 14 - 14 teams (4 Australian, 5 New Zealand, 5 South Africa) -> All three flags
 * Super 14 is run by SANZAR which is a joint Sth Africa/Aust/NZ organisation. No single country is dominant, but the teams involved are fixed from year to year.
 * I agree with you (Howard the Duck) regarding the NBA, NHL, NRL etc. but it appears to be against common usage - so I'd like to get other opinions. The particular article which interests me is A-League because Australia and New Zealand are in different football confederations so there has to be a distinction made. -- Chuq 01:43, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you referring to the "Countries" parameter or the "Champions" parameter? My previous statement was referring to the "Champions" parameter, as for the countries parameter, I suggest to include all countries except for leagues that are played in more than 10 countries. -- Howard  the   Duck  02:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, the "Countries" parameter - my Champions/Premiers comment below is unrelated! I wouldn't even use a flag for champions unless it was a competition between national teams.  -- Chuq 02:26, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'd support of adding flags to the champions if the league's members qualified through their national leagues (like the Champions League), while those which aren't, like the Aussie NBL (where the Slingers and NZ play) don't. -- Howard  the   Duck  02:36, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I like having flags either way, because whether they're "guests or not, they're permanent. ¿ςפקι Д Иτς! ☺ ☻ 03:45, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Champions + Premiers
Another question! The A-League is unusual in that both the premiers (top of league table) and champions (winner of finals series) are equally important in measuring the success of teams. This prompted someone to ["subst" and modify the infobox http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A-League&diff=93362989&oldid=93348243] as the template didn't have space for both. My opinion is that the infobox shouldn't have been got rid of - it should have been discussed here and adjusted to suit. Does anyone want to comment on this before I attempt it? -- Chuq 10:32, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * What I did with the Philippine Basketball Association article where 2 championships are disputed, the two championships would be displayed at the Champions perimeter, with the name of the championship enclosed in a parenthesis. -- Howard  the   Duck  12:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Proposal: new row listing the link to the current-ongoing season article
I was looking at the French Wikipedia version of the NHL article. On the last row of its infobox table, there is a link to the "Saison en cours" (Season in progress) article. I think a similar addition could be made on this Infobox sports league template, instead of using a combination of it with Template:Dab current or Template:Current sport-related. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:54, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a good idea. -- Howard  the   Duck  05:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Folded
I think it would be better if "Folded" was just under "Founded". // S MARTSKAFT | &iquest; 21:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks like a good idea, but it'll emphasize that "folded" being last means it was the last thing the league did. Could work either way, though. -- Howard  the   Duck  05:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

CEO's
Would it be possible to add an optional parameter for the CEO? Bongomanrae 01:13, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * You can, but I think this infobox is having too many parameters already, although I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but... -- Howard  the   Duck  09:16, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Current Champion
The wording of that has always bugged me considerably. Would there be any objection to having this changed to "Defending Champion", which I consider to be a more accurate statement? Resolute 14:49, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes go ahead. -- Howard  the   Duck  14:51, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The only thing would be defending, being an active word, implies that the next season is already taking place. In the off-season, the current champions are not yet defending. SeveroTC 16:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * True, but as far as North American sports go, at least, even in the offseason, the winning team is often referred to as the "defending champion Carolina Hurricanes..." My issue is that calling a team the current champ suggests that there is a continual challenge to the title.  i.e.: a boxer is the current WBC champion, but the St. Louis Cardinals are the defending World Series champions.  It is simply a matter of which semantics is preferable, I suppose. Resolute 17:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Isn't it once they've won the championship they're defending it already? -- Howard  the   Duck  17:20, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I think Defending sounds much better, maybe there is a slight differences in dialect because to me (a native Estuary English speaker), to defend is to actively attempt to retain. Either way I think it's preferable because Current just sounds awkward :) -SeveroTC 17:38, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, I made the change. Glad all three of us agree, heh. Resolute 18:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Apologies for having made the change before I looked here, but I have changed "defending" to "Most recent". In UK English, as Severo observes, a "defending" champion is one engaged in retaining that title. By this definition, Australia will not be defending the OFC Nations Cup (because of transfer to another jurisdiction), Floyd Landis will not be defending the Tour de France (through retirement) (admittedly not a league, but the principle applies), and Sunderland will not be defending the Coca-Cola Championship (by virtue of promotion). "Current" has already been argued against, and a rem note points out that it is not suitable for defunct leagues. I also rendered "champion" in the singular, which sits better with US English as well as being better suited to competitions where individuals participate. Kevin McE 20:12, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This thought came to me some time after the discussion above. It just left me totally confused though! SeveroTC 23:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Why not just call it "champions"? -- Howard  the   Duck  06:30, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That would work for me. Resolute 18:45, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * No major objection here, but 2 points occur to me:
 * Use of singular allows for competitions for individuals, and sits better with US English
 * Is it appropriate to talk of the "Champion(s)" of a defunct competition?  Kevin McE 19:04, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Maybe there should be more than one field, so wording can be more precise? SeveroTC 00:51, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, for current leagues...I prefer "Defending champion". For defunct leagues...I don't think we really need it to be honest...but I supposed "Last champion" would make sense.  Bsroiaadn Talk 00:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The current markup for defunct leagues adds the word "last" before "champions." And this is a sports league infobox so more than likely the champions are teams. And some leagues do not allow their champions to defend their championships since they're promoted. -- Howard  the   Duck  03:54, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be three options:
 * 1) Team or individual is defending or will defend their title
 * 2) Team or individual will not defend their title, as they have for whatever reason changed league
 * 3) League is defunct. Current markup alters text to read Last champions

How about just employing Champion (or Champions or Champion(s)) for the first two, leaving the markup for defunct leagues as it is? SeveroTC 12:37, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I have a question: on what page is this used for leagues with no teams (aka individuals)? That'll also leave number of teams quite useless. The current markup we have is fine, I just don't like "most current", I'd rather leave the simpler "Champions". -- Howard  the   Duck  14:21, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Not exhaustive, but one I edit actually: UCI ProTour, where there are champions in individual, team and nation ranks and where, of those, individual is most important. SeveroTC 14:32, 6 July 2007 (UTC) --Ignore that then :-) SeveroTC 17:52, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That makes it 3 champions so it is still in plural form. -- Howard  the   Duck  14:40, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:Infobox Sports season
I wonder if this is a good idea... -- Howard  the   Duck  05:47, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Additional parameters
Suggestions for additional parameters - inspired by the fact that A-League uses a manually generated infobox instead of this template, because the template doesn't accommodate all the variables.
 * Most championships/premierships: An entry for the team who has the most championships (or in the case of leagues such as the A-League, most championships and most premierships.
 * Related competitions - for football competitions, this would be continental club championships, for example
 * Also one that I have mentioned before - separate champions/premiers sections - this has been "worked-around" for now. See User:Chuq/test for an example. -- Chuq (talk) 06:15, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * OK you can go ahead with the first 2, the last one can be worked around, as you've said. For an example, see Philippine Basketball Association where there can be 2 champions in a season. Just u insert a  after each entry. -- Howard   the   Duck  06:21, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've added the first two (most_champs and related_comps) and placed a usage example on the right. They shouldn't cause any problems.  It is fairly noticeable how the champions/premiers, while workable, doesn't look the best. -- Chuq (talk) 21:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Current season field and football image
I'm seeing complaints on non-football/soccer pages about the football image/clock icon in the "Current season" field. It's just odd to see a football on a page about cricket, baseball, or even Americn/Canadian football. I'd suggest either changing to a more generic image, or have a set of images that can be toggled by a set parameter. - BillCJ (talk) 03:04, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I've been bold and changed the image to that of just the clock. Hopefully this will garner interest in finding a better longterm solution. - BillCJ (talk) 03:10, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * As I said on a discussion above, it is suppose to mirror Template:Current sport-related and Template:Current sport, which also use that particular image.Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:02, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I've seen complaints about that image too. Let's see what shakes out here, and then we'll tackle that one. For the record, I disagree with incorporating the image into the infobox at all, since it's totally unrelated to the subject of the pages it is on, and is distracting unless the subject is football/soccer. The infobox should only have images related to the topic, such as league logos. I'm sorry I messed the discussion when it happened, but only two people discussed it here, with one comment each - that hardly a consensus makes. - BillCJ (talk) 04:10, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

How about totally ditching the image? -- Howard  the   Duck  04:12, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I think that would be the best solution. Sometimes I miss the easy answers! - BillCJ (talk) 04:18, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I really do not care, as long as it does its original purpose so that Wikipedians do not simultaneously use both this template and Template:Current sport-related. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm fine with deleting the image, or using the generic clock. Flibirigit (talk) 05:56, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah I am not even sure why we need an image. -Djsasso (talk) 19:04, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Current season or competition
"Current season or competition" is too long. How about "Current tournament"? -- Howard  the   Duck  17:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * A regular season is not a tournament. Flibirigit (talk) 18:13, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well it is in the broadest sense of the word. -- Howard  the   Duck  03:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * True, but it isn't common usage. Perhaps a more general: "For current information see:"?  Most article titles are descriptive, so that would flow well in most cases. Resolute 03:53, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * But it is still long since I'd want it to appear as a regular infobox entry. -- Howard  the   Duck  03:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Link to the championship
Any objections to adding a "Championship" field above "Most recent champion(s)" to link directly to the article about the league's championship (where applicable), eg. World Series, Stanley Cup, Grey Cup, Super Bowl. Kwanesum (talk) 22:08, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

fame?
This appears to be undocumented. Any idea on what it is meant for? Tarc (talk) 16:02, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * What the league is famous for. – Howard  the   Duck  16:36, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Surely a field that requests that it should not be used is a field that should be removed. Do we have any examples of appropriate use? Kevin McE (talk) 17:44, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Removing forced captions
Previously, if no specific caption was specified, the page title would occupy the caption space if there was a logo. Since many logos have the league name in them, and the page or infobox title would be redundant with the caption title, I have taken the liberty to change the the code so that captions are now 100% optional. hello, i'm a member  |  talk to me!  00:39, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Airline
A field recently added with no previous discussion. An airline only becomes the official or favoured airline by paying for the privilege, or at least offering some benefit. As such, it is no more than a minor sponsor. Adds nothing to encyclopaedic knowledge about the sport or the tournament. Removing: we'll see if it reaches third stage of BRD. Kevin McE (talk) 17:49, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Country(ies) → Country/Countries
The template originally listed "Country(ies)" as a section; I have renamed this label to "Country/Countries" as it seems more grammatically correct. I don't anticipate this to be controversial but if anyone has any major problems with this, it can be changed back.  —Entropy (T/C) 03:43, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * What is the basis of your assumption that it is "more grammatically correct"? Look at the Google hits I get otherwise. Or is it some WP:ENGVAR issue I am not aware of? Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:04, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * My understanding of placing extra letters in parentheses at the end of words makes them optional letters that are added if needed; for instance, in house(s) or child(ren). Since country is a noun that ends in y when singular but not when plural, it looks wrong to me. I don't claim to be a grammar expert though. Does anyone know for sure which is the preferred?  —Entropy (T/C) 18:57, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

CEO field showing commissioner
Could this be adjusted to show CEO? There is an existing parameter for commissioner. Hack (talk) 05:59, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅ – H T  D  11:59, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Parameter request
Could someone allow a "game" parameter to be a substitute for "sport" so this can be used for things like chess or video gaming?--Prisencolin (talk) 19:06, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Prisencolin, added. Frietjes (talk) 15:31, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks!--Prisencolin (talk) 18:17, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Remove or customize the current season caption
Hello there. The long, bold caption "Current season, competition or edition:" seems like overkill. The text usually includes the correct terminology and can be wikilinked to customize if it doesn't. So I would suggest eliminating it altogether. I would also propose giving the option of placing the current season icon and link at the bottom of the infobox. I realize the link is an important one, but don't think it is too much trouble to find at the bottom of the box. I already made an ill-advised solo attempt at providing the option that has cleaned up. Thanks. - Mnnlaxer &#124; talk  &#124; stalk 19:08, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I forgot already added the current parameter at the bottom. Thanks for that. - Mnnlaxer &#124;  talk  &#124; stalk 05:46, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Most recent champion is when?
Can someone add  after "champion" like it's done with Template:Infobox basketball league? If the infobox does not get regular updates, then this parameter is handy. I also made the changes into sandbox and testcases. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 11:35, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * , would you also be fine with another parameter name instead of season? I know that name is used on the basketball league infobox, but "season" doesn't sound that specific. What about "champ_season" or something? Enterprisey (talk!) 13:30, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I though about naming it more specifically. "champ_season" is fine. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 14:18, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done Sounds good. Enterprisey (talk!) 14:27, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Request for new parameters
Is it possible to add an editions (or whatever name seems to be fit) parameter to indicate the number of editions contested and a frequency parameter to indicate if the competition is held annually, biennially, etc? Thanks. --Iklaoo (talk) 09:30, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Why do we use ceased?
Isn't defunct a better word than ceased? Defunct is more of an positive-ish way than ceased. Also, ceased is more or less another word for dead. New3400 (talk) 20:14, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree that "defunct" is a better term, in parallel with Infobox company. Enterprisey (talk!) 20:47, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * It's also possible to use "last edition". Pelmeen10 (talk) 15:03, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 9 June 2022
I've edited the sandbox page to support all parameters used by Infobox sports conference. Since the two infoboxes are so similar in parameters used. I'm proposing that Infobox sports conference redirects to this page so that style and syntax will be uniform. Right now, the two infoboxes have slightly different looks. The change hardly affects this template as it simply adds a few parameters to support the other infobox. Let me know if you think I've missed anything in my edit on the sandbox. –Aidan721 (talk) 22:00, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
 * to be clear, the sandbox should be completely ready (or ready as possible) to be copied to the live template's code page.

Could this template have (Organising body) and  (Other club(s) from) as extra labels. Example is Template:Infobox basketball league. Alextigers (talk) 13:01, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Infobox sports league already has the option for  as opposed to   so adding   is redundant. I'm fine with the addition of   as there isn't a parameter that covers that yet. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:26, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks Aidan because this template needs it. If your using this infobox in a basketball Cup format then you need the Organiser label for example if it’s run by the NBA, NBL or EuroLeague. Let me know once you edit it. Alextigers (talk) 12:02, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Separate TV Partners from Streaming partners
I wonder if is possible have Streaming Partners separated from TV partners since some leagues has multiple different partners for TV and internet, making the TV Partners area of template a bit messy

For exemple, from this year, The Japanese High School Baseball Championship will have a extra streaming partner besides the pre-existing Stream and TV Partners, there is so much that it makes the template get messy and complicated to work with

I think that would be better if we had different options for Streaming Partners and TV Partner User:Meganinja202 | &iquest; 05:06 27 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks! I just figured out what I did wrong and have corrected it in the sandbox. I'm still having issues with the colors now showing if you can take a look at that for me, please, later today? I'm going to continue working on it in the meantime. Corky  07:20, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ both. Primefac (talk) 09:06, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! The color field still isn't working... is there something else we need to do for that? Corky  11:42, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Never mind, we have to change the name of the infobox in order for it to work. There's a lot of unknown perimeters with the old one, though. Appreciate it! Corky  11:43, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, don't do that, I'll just add in the params to the wrapper. Primefac (talk) 11:44, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, awesome! Thank you! Corky  11:48, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Add association for NCAA, NAIA, etc. These are being placed as conference from Infobox athletic conference merge here. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:30, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Suggestion:
I think it would be better if we separate “ceased” into “final season” and “defunct”, in order to show a leagues final season and then when the organization folded. Blake675 (talk) 17:25, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

About last and upcoming season parameters
Why the parameter 'current_season' has two but the 'last_season' and 'upcoming_season' has one only? Can they all have two parameters? WorldVolleyFan (talk) 05:59, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Likely because there is more possibility of having two "current seasons" than past or future. The only extant use I can find that has bluelinks is Beach Handball World Championships, which links to both the men's and women's current season of the championships. Despite being redlinked, National Softball League also uses a similar structure to link to the two levels of play. Primefac (talk) 07:38, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. WorldVolleyFan (talk) 07:46, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Edit request 17 December 2022
Add logo_alt so alt text for the logo can be supplied, similar to Infobox organization and Infobox company. Yee no  (talk) 09:02, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: There is already an alt parameter, and since only one image can be supplied it doesn't really matter if it's being used for a logo or an image. Primefac (talk) 12:53, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @Primefac: Thanks. I couldn't find that in the documentation anywhere, so it should be added if possible. Yee no   (talk) 19:23, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * You are more than welcome to do that; the /doc is not protected. Primefac (talk) 07:18, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Request: Add General manager field
Can we please consider adding a "General manager" field. There is CEO, Director and President, but many leagues have specific General manager positions. Thanks. DaHuzyBru (talk) 16:03, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Just pinging you to see if this can be considered. Thanks. DaHuzyBru (talk) 13:04, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 * If there's no opposition it can probably be added in. Primefac (talk) 15:35, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 * What leagues have general managers? That is usually a position for teams. –Aidan721 (talk) 14:20, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It's definitely a basketball league role in Australia. NBL1 has a General Manager while NBL1 West  and NBL1 South  have League Managers. New Zealand NBL and Tauihi Basketball Aotearoa has a General Manager  as does Women's British Basketball League . Would be great to have this addition. Thanks for the consideration. DaHuzyBru (talk) 22:35, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Any objections here? Is this ok to be added? DaHuzyBru (talk) 05:26, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Seeing none, ✅; added general_manager. Primefac (talk) 06:29, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

The amount of space that would be afforded to the column with variable inputs by simply shortening "Inaugural season" to "First season" would be much appreciated. In most cases I've worked with, "Inaugural season" is the longest row title, and is solely responsible for squeezing content in the right-hand column of the infobox. — AFC Vixen 🦊 14:32, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
