Some infobox images on wrestlers' pages, for example Rey Mysterio, Torrie Wilson, and Eddie Guerrero are far too small. You can't change this in the individuals infoboxes, so can somebody edit the template so this isn't the case? I don't know how to. HamishMacBeth 20:06, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I think the info box should include the name of the wrestler's theme song.-- Hornetman16 20:22, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the "resides" field from the template because it fails WP:V, WP:CITE and WP:BIO. It's never sourced and could just be completely made up. I asked a while back on WP:PW and whilst nobody really supported it, nobody objected. BertieBasset 00:50, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
I would like to add a "Current Championships" section to the bottom of the template. I just figured I would ask opinions here first. Obviously this section would only include championship belt(s) which are currently held by that wrestler.
This list would not get too big, wrestlers usually wont hold multiple belts at once for very long. -- Skyhawker666 ( talk) 03:37, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
It would seem that "manager(s)" would be a good optional parameter to add to this infobox, along with "nickname(s)". Also, something similar to how Infobox actor approaches awards listing, there could be a championships parameter. This would cut down on the compulsion to use lists within the articles. Just suggestions, though. Chickenmonkey ( talk) 14:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The doc now advises use of {{ birth date and age}}, which requires a full date. However, as per WP:DOB the exact birth date should normally not be included in articles about living people unless it is widely published already, or has clearly been published with the approval of the person. Many editors seem to be automaically following this documetation and inserting full dates of birth where they should not. I have now included a warning about this and a suggestion to use {{ birth year and age}} in the doc. DES (talk) 21:21, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
Should cause of death be included? It's included in most other infoboxes. Just a thought. Cra sh Underride 12:34, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
Suggesting an addition of the Years Active parameter for wrestlers/announcers who passed while still under contract to an organization.

Could someone please put the Finishing Move as a Parameter into the Infobox? MkIc ( talk) 19:46, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
I believe that the current infobox for "professional wrestler" is inadequate. I propose two possible revisions to the infobox. The first revision would include a "Promotion" parameter, and the second revision that implements multiple changes: a "Promotion" parameter, a "Stable" parameter, and a "Tag Team(s)" parameter
I believe this change is the most necessary change. This is why I have singled out this change in proposing it in a separate infobox. I think it is necessary to state what professional wrestling promotion(s) the individual belongs to. This is as necessary as stating what team an American football player or soccer player belongs to, yet this information is absent in the current infobox for wrestlers. For these dates, just the year value can be used.
The proposed change would appear as follows:
{{Infobox professional wrestler | name = | image = | image_size = | image_upright = | alt = | caption = | birth_name = | birth_date = <!-- {{Birth date and age|YYYY|MM|DD}} or {{Birth date|YYYY|MM|DD}} if deceased. For living people supply only the year unless the exact date is already WIDELY published, as per [[WP:DOB]]. --> | birth_place = | death_date = <!-- {{Death date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|YYYY|MM|DD}} or {{Death date|YYYY|MM|DD}} if birth date unknown --> | death_place = | death_cause = | residence = | alma_mater = | spouse = <!-- {{Marriage|NAME|DATE}} or {{Marriage|NAME|DATE|ENDDATE}} --> | children = | parents = | relatives = | family = | website = <!-- {{URL|google.com}} --> | ring_names = | height = <!-- X ft Y in or X cm; the template will automatically convert (otherwise {{Convert|FEET|ft|INCHES|in|cm|abbron}} or {{Convert|CENTIMETERS|cm|ftin|abbr=on}} can be used) --> | weight = <!-- X st Y lb, X lb OR X kg; the template will automatically convert (otherwise {{Convert|POUNDS|lb|stlb kg|abbr=on}} or {{Convert|KILOGRAMS|kg|lb stlb|abbr=on}} can be used) --> | billed = | trainer = | promotion = | debut = | retired = }}
The promotion parameter would only be filled if the wrestler worked a significant amount in the promotion. For example, Daniel Bryan has worked for at least 31 promotions, which would get unwieldy in the infobox. To solve this, the promotion parameter should be filled only if the individual wrestled X amount of matches and/or was in the promotion for X years (ie at least 20-30 matches and/or an active participant in the promotion for 2-3 years), or if their work in the promotion is considered otherwise significant. For instance, Steve Austin's work in ECW, however short, would be considered important. For Daniel Bryan, the promotion parameter could mention his most significant work -- Memphis Championship Wrestling (WWE), NJPW, ROH, NOAH, WWE -- and then a hyperlink to a full list of promotions Daniel Bryan has worked for can be placed at the end of the list (obviously another section "Promotions" or something similar would have to be created). The promotions would be listed in order of major debut date under the promotion.
Here are examples of the usage of the new parameter:
| promotion =[[Memphis Championship Wrestling|MCW]] (WWE) (2000-2001) <br>[[Ring of Honor|ROH]] (2002-2009) <br>[[New Japan Pro Wrestling|NJPW]] (2002-2004) <br>[[Pro Wrestling Noah|NOAH]] (2006-2009) <br>[[WWE]] (2002, 2003, 2009-2010, 2010-present) <!--(Danielson was a jobber for WWE in 2002 and 2003)--> <br>(''[[Daniel Bryan#Promotions|Full list]]'')
| promotion =[[Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre|EMLL/CMLL]] (1986-1992) <br>[[Asistencia Asesoría y Administración|AAA]] (1993-1995) <br>[[New Japan Pro Wrestling|NJPW]] (1992-1996, 1998, 2002) <br>[[Extreme Championship Wrestling|ECW]] (1995) <br>[[World Championship Wrestling]] (1989, 1991, 1995-2000) <!-- Guerrero was a jobber in 1989 and an insignificant player in 1991--> <br>[[WWE|WWF/WWE]] (2000-2001, 2002-2005 <small>(his death)</small>) <br>(''[[Eddie Guerrero#Promotions|Full list]]'')
| promotion =[[World Championship Wrestling|WCW]] (1991-1995) <br>[[Extreme Championship Wrestling|ECW]] (1995) <br>[[WWE|WWF/WWE]] (1995-2003)
If the list of all promotions is short, perhaps all promotions can be included in the parameter. This is up for debate; this could muddle the information.
| promotion =[[United States Wrestling Association|USWA]] (1990) <br>[[World Class Wrestling Association|WCWA]] (1990) <br>[[World Championship Wrestling|WCW]] (1991-1995) <br>[[New Japan Pro Wrestling|NJPW]] (1992, 1995) <br>[[Extreme Championship Wrestling|ECW]] (1995) <br>[[WWE|WWF/WWE]] (1995-2003)
There are two other parameters I believe could be added to the infobox, along with the necessary "Promotion" parameter. These parameters are "Stable" and "Tag Team(s)". All three are exemplified here in this second larger proposed revision.
The proposed change would appear as follows:
{{Infobox professional wrestler | name = | image = | image_size = | image_upright = | alt = | caption = | birth_name = | birth_date = <!-- {{Birth date and age|YYYY|MM|DD}} or {{Birth date|YYYY|MM|DD}} if deceased. For living people supply only the year unless the exact date is already WIDELY published, as per [[WP:DOB]]. --> | birth_place = | death_date = <!-- {{Death date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|YYYY|MM|DD}} or {{Death date|YYYY|MM|DD}} if birth date unknown --> | death_place = | death_cause = | residence = | alma_mater = | spouse = <!-- {{Marriage|NAME|DATE}} or {{Marriage|NAME|DATE|ENDDATE}} --> | children = | parents = | relatives = | family = | website = <!-- {{URL|google.com}} --> | ring_names = | height = <!-- X ft Y in or X cm; the template will automatically convert (otherwise {{Convert|FEET|ft|INCHES|in|cm|abbron}} or {{Convert|CENTIMETERS|cm|ftin|abbr=on}} can be used) --> | weight = <!-- X st Y lb, X lb OR X kg; the template will automatically convert (otherwise {{Convert|POUNDS|lb|stlb kg|abbr=on}} or {{Convert|KILOGRAMS|kg|lb stlb|abbr=on}} can be used) --> | billed = | trainer = | promotion = | tag_team = | stable = | debut = | retired = }}
Many times tag teams are extremely vital to an individual wrestler's career. Their participation in an established tag team could be what they are mainly known for, such as Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk. Tag teams that fall under the parameter would only be named, notable tag teams; one-off tag teams or temporary inner-faction team-ups would not qualify.
Stables, on the other hand, aside from being important story elements, are absolutely central to a wrestler's character in some places such as modern-day New Japan Pro Wrestling. Like the Promotion parameter, tag teams and stables would be listed in order of when the individual debuted their major involvement in the tag team or stable.
An example of the usage of the Tag Team parameter for Road Warrior Hawk:
| tag_team =[[The Road Warriors]] (1983-2003 <small>(his death)</small>)
An example of the usage of the Tag Team parameter for Shawn Michaels:
| tag_team =[[The Rockers|The Midnight Rockers/The Rockers]] (1985-1992)
An example of the usage of the Stable parameter for Kazuchika Okada:
| stable =[[Chaos (professional wrestling)|CHAOS]] (2012-present)
An example of the usage of the Stable parameter for Triple H:
| stable =[[D-Generation X]] (1997-1999, 2006-2007, 2009-2010) <br>[[Evolution (professional wrestling)|Evolution]] (2003-2005, 2007, 2014)

Oppose inclusion in infobox. I think the last comment shows why this is not a good idea. Unlike, say, in baseball, where a player can be on only one team at a time, it is not uncommon in pro wrestling for a wrestler to have overlapping appearances for multiple promotions, some major, some less so, and for stints of varying lengths. Trying to summarize and present that as a neat little list for an infobox would be a kludge, as it lacks all refinement of small details. In other words, there's no way for such a list to have the amount of text necessary to properly show the situation; it needs to be in prose, that is, the article body. An actor's filmography is not in their infobox, and a pro wrestler's career is much more like an actor's than a ball player's in this aspect. oknazevad ( talk) 10:32, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

I believe that the current infobox for "professional wrestler" is inadequate. I propose two possible revisions to the infobox. The first revision would include a "Promotion" parameter, and the second revision that implements multiple changes: a "Promotion" parameter, a "Stable" parameter, and a "Tag Team(s)" parameter
I believe this change is the most necessary change. This is why I have singled out this change in proposing it in a separate infobox. I think it is necessary to state what professional wrestling promotion(s) the individual belongs to. This is as necessary as stating what team an American football player or soccer player belongs to, yet this information is absent in the current infobox for wrestlers. For these dates, just the year value can be used.
The proposed change would appear as follows:
{{Infobox professional wrestler | name = | image = | image_size = | image_upright = | alt = | caption = | birth_name = | birth_date = <!-- {{Birth date and age|YYYY|MM|DD}} or {{Birth date|YYYY|MM|DD}} if deceased. For living people supply only the year unless the exact date is already WIDELY published, as per [[WP:DOB]]. --> | birth_place = | death_date = <!-- {{Death date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|YYYY|MM|DD}} or {{Death date|YYYY|MM|DD}} if birth date unknown --> | death_place = | death_cause = | residence = | alma_mater = | spouse = <!-- {{Marriage|NAME|DATE}} or {{Marriage|NAME|DATE|ENDDATE}} --> | children = | parents = | relatives = | family = | website = <!-- {{URL|google.com}} --> | ring_names = | height = <!-- X ft Y in or X cm; the template will automatically convert (otherwise {{Convert|FEET|ft|INCHES|in|cm|abbron}} or {{Convert|CENTIMETERS|cm|ftin|abbr=on}} can be used) --> | weight = <!-- X st Y lb, X lb OR X kg; the template will automatically convert (otherwise {{Convert|POUNDS|lb|stlb kg|abbr=on}} or {{Convert|KILOGRAMS|kg|lb stlb|abbr=on}} can be used) --> | billed = | trainer = | promotion = | debut = | retired = }}
The promotion parameter would only be filled if the wrestler worked a significant amount in the promotion. For example, Daniel Bryan has worked for at least 31 promotions, which would get unwieldy in the infobox. To solve this, the promotion parameter should be filled only if the individual wrestled X amount of matches and/or was in the promotion for X years (ie at least 20-30 matches and/or an active participant in the promotion for 2-3 years), or if their work in the promotion is considered otherwise significant. For instance, Steve Austin's work in ECW, however short, would be considered important. For Daniel Bryan, the promotion parameter could mention his most significant work -- Memphis Championship Wrestling (WWE), NJPW, ROH, NOAH, WWE -- and then a hyperlink to a full list of promotions Daniel Bryan has worked for can be placed at the end of the list (obviously another section "Promotions" or something similar would have to be created). The promotions would be listed in order of major debut date under the promotion.
Here are examples of the usage of the new parameter:
| promotion =[[Memphis Championship Wrestling|MCW]] (WWE) (2000-2001) <br>[[Ring of Honor|ROH]] (2002-2009) <br>[[New Japan Pro Wrestling|NJPW]] (2002-2004) <br>[[Pro Wrestling Noah|NOAH]] (2006-2009) <br>[[WWE]] (2002, 2003, 2009-2010, 2010-present) <!--(Danielson was a jobber for WWE in 2002 and 2003)--> <br>(''[[Daniel Bryan#Promotions|Full list]]'')
| promotion =[[Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre|EMLL/CMLL]] (1986-1992) <br>[[Asistencia Asesoría y Administración|AAA]] (1993-1995) <br>[[New Japan Pro Wrestling|NJPW]] (1992-1996, 1998, 2002) <br>[[Extreme Championship Wrestling|ECW]] (1995) <br>[[World Championship Wrestling]] (1989, 1991, 1995-2000) <!-- Guerrero was a jobber in 1989 and an insignificant player in 1991--> <br>[[WWE|WWF/WWE]] (2000-2001, 2002-2005 <small>(his death)</small>) <br>(''[[Eddie Guerrero#Promotions|Full list]]'')
| promotion =[[World Championship Wrestling|WCW]] (1991-1995) <br>[[Extreme Championship Wrestling|ECW]] (1995) <br>[[WWE|WWF/WWE]] (1995-2003)
If the list of all promotions is short, perhaps all promotions can be included in the parameter. This is up for debate; this could muddle the information.
| promotion =[[United States Wrestling Association|USWA]] (1990) <br>[[World Class Wrestling Association|WCWA]] (1990) <br>[[World Championship Wrestling|WCW]] (1991-1995) <br>[[New Japan Pro Wrestling|NJPW]] (1992, 1995) <br>[[Extreme Championship Wrestling|ECW]] (1995) <br>[[WWE|WWF/WWE]] (1995-2003)
There are two other parameters I believe could be added to the infobox, along with the necessary "Promotion" parameter. These parameters are "Stable" and "Tag Team(s)". All three are exemplified here in this second larger proposed revision.
The proposed change would appear as follows:
{{Infobox professional wrestler | name = | image = | image_size = | image_upright = | alt = | caption = | birth_name = | birth_date = <!-- {{Birth date and age|YYYY|MM|DD}} or {{Birth date|YYYY|MM|DD}} if deceased.

Many times tag teams are extremely vital to an individual wrestler's career. Their participation in an established tag team could be what they are mainly known for, such as Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk. Tag teams that fall under the parameter would only be named, notable tag teams; one-off tag teams or temporary inner-faction team-ups would not qualify.
Stables, on the other hand, aside from being important story elements, are absolutely central to a wrestler's character in some places such as modern-day New Japan Pro Wrestling. Like the Promotion parameter, tag teams and stables would be listed in order of when the individual debuted their major involvement in the tag team or stable.

| tag_team =[[The Road Warriors]] (1983-2003 <small>(his death)</small>)
An example of the usage of the Tag Team parameter for Shawn Michaels:
| tag_team =[[The Rockers|The Midnight Rockers/The Rockers]] (1985-1992)

| stable =[[Chaos (professional wrestling)|CHAOS]] (2012-present)
An example of the usage of the Stable parameter for Triple H:

Oppose inclusion in infobox. I think the last comment shows why this is not a good idea. Unlike, say, in baseball, where a player can be on only one team at a time, it is not uncommon in pro wrestling for a wrestler to have overlapping appearances for multiple promotions, some major, some less so, and for stints of varying lengths. Trying to summarize and present that as a neat little list for an infobox would be a kludge, as it lacks all refinement of small details. In other words, there's no way for such a list to have the amount of text necessary to properly show the situation; it needs to be in prose, that is, the article body. An actor's filmography is not in their infobox, and a pro wrestler's career is much more like an actor's than a ball player's in this aspect. oknazevad ( talk) 10:32, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Please add the parameter "Partner" after "Spouse". This can be used to include notable long-term unmarried relationships in articles. McPhail ( talk) 13:39, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

template. While I see no issue with adding this extra parameter, Martin raises some good points that should be discussed. Just because {{
infobox person}} has the two parameters on different lines doesn't mean this template must follow suit. Basically, I'd like to see opinions on whether it should be an either/or situation; i.e. both on one row or different rows.

Please add the parameter "Partner" after "Spouse", with "Partner" Wikilinked to the article Intimate relationship. This can be used to include notable long-term unmarried relationships in articles. As requested I have raised this at the Professional Wrestling WikiProject and there is support for adding the field. McPhail ( talk) 10:48, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Please can the parameter "residence" be removed from this template. This was discussed here. The rationale is that (1) this is consistent with Template:Infobox_person fromm which this parameter has been removed (2) this information is inherently very difficult to reliably source (3) the inclusion of this information may given rise to privacy/security issues in certain cases.
