I would like to remove the comma for American-style scores. While it is true that the convention in North America is Away 0 Home 0, I've only seen the comma used in newspaper match reports, when it is always listed e.g. Winning team 2, Losing team 0, regardless of which team is playing at home. — Wiki Wikardo 22:58, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
I'd like to solve a couple issues I've seen while working on
2011 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, etc. There is inconsistent usage of punctuation and spacing in places like the scores, placenames, and points/rebounds/assists; some use a plain space between the name and count, some used colons or commas (I think), others use a regular-spaced dash, others (mostly my edit) use the correct {{
Snd}} (more foolproof than –
, which is easily broken by those using the visual editor). I'd to separate the team name and seed, venue and place, time components, name and count, etc. into separate parms and let the template correctly place, format, and punctuate them, automatically bold the winners, etc. I'm also adding cites to sources to confirm the correct team order, attendance, referees, etc., as I've run across several that are wrong. I know that, with the NCAABB tourney, the events are held at third-party (neutral) courts, but there is still significance in the correct designation of the "home team" for wagering, database consistency, etc. I'm thinking I'll work up an example in the sandbox for comment (soon). —[

I just created this because it seems basketball doesn't have similar to Template:Aet. Incorporating it to this template would be appreciated. Howard the Duck ( talk) 14:53, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi there! After seeing some inconsistencies (specifically in dark-mode) with the background color of the table formatting in this template, I synced the main template into /sandbox and applied the background color to the various table styles where it was needed.
I added a number of test cases to demonstrate the differences (also now using Template:Test_case for consistency) and it seems like this could be a reasonable edit that will greatly improve the look of the Basketballbox template when the dark mode gadget is enabled (particularly when the template's background color param is set).
Let me know if you have any questions or need additional info! Thanks :D

04:20, 22 April 2023 (UTC)I would like to edit both overtime wikilinks in this template from:
[[Overtime (sports)|Overtime]]
to:
[[Overtime (sports)#Basketball|Overtime]]
My proposal is more specific; when a user clicks on it, a specific article section will be opened.

Description of suggested change: Change the prompt that precedes the |{{{referee}}}=
parameter from Referees: to Officials:. There is one referee on a crew of basketball officials. The officiating crew as a whole is referred to as officials.

In basketball, an official (usually called a referee)...Perhaps the basic English interpretation of referee is fine.— Bagumba ( talk) 14:54, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
one who administers the rules of a game or sport especially as a referee or umpire. [1] So it seems referee is more succinct. Basketball referee is currently a redirect to official (basketball), as it is a subtopic of the broader term official. — Bagumba ( talk) 17:37, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
