The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Motorsport class or another name that's clear but not too long. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 17:39, 7 January 2023 (UTC) I propose merging the templates Class A / Class B / Class C / Class D / Class G together, as they are mostly identical, except for the letter displayed and background color. They could also gain a more identifiable name since "Class A", "Class B", "Class C", "Class D", "Class G" mean a whole lot of things. I suggest Motorsports class tag that takes a single parameter, the class name, and outputs the current various square color letters. This will also allow expansion for other classes than these 5, and merging in of other such templates. The class name would be a selector to choose the display text and colors that are defined in the template. -- 64.229.90.28 (talk) 03:44, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Yes, oops, sorry, I missed that one. That one as well -- 64.229.90.28 (talk) 03:54, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * UPDATED to include Class G that I missed when I first wrote this up. -- 64.229.90.28 (talk) 03:56, 31 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Support - all we need is a single template, with one parameter. i.e. or  or whatever the class happens to be. SSSB (talk) 10:41, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * NOTE I found two more of these Rookie and National ; exceedingly unclear names; I suggest these also be merged together with the other 5 -- 64.229.90.28 (talk) 22:36, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * And I found two more. Merge, replace, and delete per nom. --Izno (talk) 02:45, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Master should also fall under this proposal (which I wholeheartedly support) H4MCHTR (talk) 11:21, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge. Including also Template:Junior. Gonnym (talk) 12:31, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge I created these templates and agree that they should be merged into one. Is it possible to have a name shorter than Motorsports class tag? Corvus tristis (talk) 05:21, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @Corvus tristis, mct? — Qwerfjkl  talk  20:35, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * We try to avoid shortenings so short. I think motorsports class is probably fine. Izno (talk) 20:59, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Can we just end this it is disrupting all feeder series articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RxxingAddict (talk • contribs) 12:29, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
