There have been discussions in the past about merging tournament event articles (e.g. 2015 Brisbane International – Men's Singles) with the parent tournament articles ( 2015 Brisbane International) but no consensus to do so has been reached so it seems the tennis event articles are here to stay for the time being. I have seen a great number of these articles and what strikes me is that most are clearly created on the assumption that readers navigate to them via the parent tournament article. Almost all of them have just a tiny lede, providing little context and explanation as required per WP:LEAD, and the event infobox is rudimentary (see example).
|
We should improve these ledes but the infobox can also be improved to provide more information and context. Specifically I propose to add the following fields to the tennis events template:
With these fields added to the infobox, and hopefully more substantial ledes, the reader who (directly) navigates to the event page should have a better context and understanding of the article than is currently the case. Thoughts? Are these the right fields to add or should there be more/fewer? -- Wolbo ( talk) 15:54, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

All capital/Upper-case letters on "Singles" and " Doubles" should be changed to lower-case so all pages using the template will manage without redirects. Another effect if this is implemented is that the link should only be black text when the article using the template refers to itself. Vogler ( talk) 00:54, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
Qualifying draws would be a nice addition, placed in template just below wheelchair competitions, or next to the main draws TheLightBlue ( talk) 13:46, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
The navigational links to previous and subsequent year at the bottom of the infobox go to plain years, against the guidelines and of little use to readers. Surely they should go to tennis-related "in year" articles? Tony (talk) 01:37, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi
Frietjes, can you please update the {{Infobox tennis tournament event}}
template so that the previous and next links go to the same level, that is to say to the event level instead of the tournament level.? Example:
2017 Mutua Madrid Open – Women's Singles, clicking on 2016 takes you to the tournament edition
2016 Mutua Madrid Open instead of the event level
2016 Mutua Madrid Open – Women's Singles. Staying on the same level can be forced via the "before_name" and "after_name" parameters (see
2015 Mutua Madrid Open – Women's Singles) but it would be better if this navigation is by default so that the "before_name" and "after_name" parameters can be used for their intended purpose which is to indicate a change in the name of the tournament. Thanks!.--

|before_name=
and/or |after_name=
are already provided. in those cases, you _should_ be able to remove the |before_name=
and/or |after_name=
and still get the same links (assuming that the |before_name=
and/or |after_name=
match the "main_name" (
like this edit). for events which have a different name in the before or after, you _should_ be able to remove the name of the event from the |before_name=

Since 2016 Wimbledon has included Men's and Women's Wheelchair Singles events among its titles. Can these please be added to the "Tennis events nav" module, similar to the other Grand Slam tournaments? I have included the relevant code needed to be added to the "wimbledonchampionships" section.

Wimbledon Championships holds Wheelchair Quad Doubles event, which is not included in the current template. – 333 -blue at 09:20, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
Ok, we are starting to get more complaints about this and I'm not sure how it got missed or why it hasn't been done. Here is the problem. On the page 2018 Wimbledon Championships – Women's Singles you can see the infobox and at the bottom it says WC Doubles (men women). That's professional wheelchair tennis. Starting in the year 2016 Wimbledon also had Wheelchair singles (men women)...so WC (men women) is needed starting in 2016, but not before 2016. The new links will have to point to, for instance in 2018: "2018 Wimbledon Championships – Wheelchair Men's Singles" and "2018 Wimbledon Championships – Wheelchair Women's Singles". I have no idea how to do it, but we could really use the adjustment. Could someone compose it and add it to the Template:Infobox tennis tournament event/testcases so Tennis Project can see it and approve? I don't think we need Quad added yet because that is strictly and exhibition event as of 2018. Thanks. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 09:21, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

The vast majority of articles about the competitions within tennis tournaments on Wikipedia suffer from a scarcely believable flaw - the first sentence does not say what the article is about. This is really appalling. It brings Wikipedia into disrepute. Thousands and thousands of articles are in this desperately inadequate state.
It seems that this template is the problem. I do not understand the functionality but it seems that all of these inadequate articles have been started using this template, according to the edit summaries like "Created page with '{{Tennis events|2019|BNP Paribas Open| | defchamp = Juan Martín del Potro | runner = | score = | draw = 96 (12 Q / 5{...'" which appear in the initial revision.
So, would somebody please do something about this. This template needs to be changed to prevent this crazy deficiency from being propagated in perpetuity. The damage it is doing is extreme. 146.90.125.65 ( talk) 22:45, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
@ Keroks: The template is not the problem, but it shows up as Created page with '{{Tennis events ... when a user creates a new page whose content starts that way, with no edit summary. The problem is that many of these articles don't include the word "tennis" in them anywhere, so it's hard to guess what they're about. For example, 2016 ITF Women's Circuit – Shenzhen Longhua – Singles, created by Keroks in 2016. They need to have sensible leads; articles that link to this template would be a starting point in looking for the problem. Dicklyon ( talk) 23:21, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
To be sure, you do also see this in other sports sometimes, like at 2009 BWF World Championships – Women's Singles before I fixed it. Can anyone tell what sport that is if they don't know what the B stands for? The lead should mention the sport, as it now does (after this edit). Dicklyon ( talk) 04:56, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Title says it all. I think Module:Tennis events nav should be updated to improve navigation between events - returning to the main tournament page back and forth is rather tedious. I observed that adding type = grand slam parameter does the job (see all Wimbledon Championships events' pages starting from 1913, for example...) but I understand that's not the parameter approved by Wikipedia Tennis Project.-- Borucic ( talk) 16:53, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi, can we add the Wheelchair Quad Singles and the Wheelchair Quad Doubles events to the French Open template like we have for the other Grand Slams?

Make the year in the defending champion row equal the before_year parameter if set. The defending champion must have won in the previous year the event was held, which is before_year. See
2021 French Open - Men's Doubles for an example of the issue, where before_year is set to 2019 but the defending champion row shows 2020.

Tripped over a category of errors: Category:Pages using infobox tennis tournament year footer with an unknown event - Turns out, most are failing when adding a "sub-nav" portion to the main InfoBox. So, at least "after_name" does NOT work when populated with SAME name as current article. (TemplateFix#1) - which I am willing to look into, but do not currently have template edit rights... Question #2; which I will repeat at Wikipedia_Talk:WikiProject_Tennis, Is adding this secondary nav part of a standard? (I am not seeing it, but it exists on roughly 50% of the "Tournament by Year" articles? See: 1884 Wimbledon Championships – Ladies' Singles as recently "fixed" article, and [ [3]] as article with "sub-nav" ... - Mjquinn_id ( talk) 19:56, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

{{{after_year}}} {{{after_name}}} – {{{event_name}}}
exists, and if not adds it to the "unknown event" error category. The issue is that in the articles with this error, editors have put e.g. | after_name = U.S. National Championships – Singles
, meaning the template checks to see if the article {{{after_year}}} U.S. National Championships – Singles – {{{event_name}}}
, e.g.
1882 U.S. National Championships – Singles – Singles exists, which it obviously doesn't. So editors have erroneously included the event_name
(Singles) in the after_name
param, which should just be e.g. U.S. National Championships
. I tried fixing this in an article
[4], and sure enough it is now in the "known event" category. The solution is for the template to check to see if articles exist at either {{{after_year}}} {{{after_name}}} – {{{event_name}}}
or {{{after_year}}} {{{after_name}}}
, which is a straightforward enough change. (the equivalent is true for before_name
). —

Hey, there. I need help with how to change the display of the Infobox tennis tournament event for the 2020 Summer Olympics, because when you click on any draw, men's or women's, singles or doubles, the draw itself isn't highlighted, like in other tournament's infoboxes, for example, in the infobox with a black, bolded, non-wikilinked color selection bar ( problem highlighted here).

I request to change the men
button wikilink from a wikilink to it being just a bolded in black highlighted button men
. See example here:
https://prnt.sc/1wgb1kz. All tournaments have the option, that when a subpage for a draw is open, the wikilink in the Infobox is null, aka not-wikilinked, in bold and black font color, except for the
Olympics tournament wikipedia page. In one of the
parameters for the Infobox in edit source, not TemplateData, the parameter for the tournament is Olympics, yet it creates a wikilinked draw for the page, it is currently on, shown in the example, but it should, in fact, be black and bold. This way the reader on XYZ draw aka subpage will be informed, indubitably, on what subpage they are. Although the name of the subpage is there, the draw should be emphasized, as well. I wish I had the know-how to do the edit myself, but I could not wrap my head around the TemplateData and its intricacies. Why is this the case and can you make it that it is not wikilinked, black, bold for the Olympic parameter, as well, please?

This template should force a capital letter at the start of the string that makes the title of the infobox. See for example 2009 Nielsen Pro Tennis Championship – doubles, where the infobox title is "doubles" from the article text after the dash, and should be "Doubles" since it's a title in the box.

template. In my experience, most tennis articles capitalize the word "Doubles" or "Singles" in the article's title. The examples given
under "Draw articles" at WP:TENNIS use that formatting. It may be better to move the article in question to help it conform to the standard usage. –

function can be used to keep the red links out of this ibox, and in fact is already being used a bit in the |subheader=

I'll look further, of course, to see if something can be done about those red links, because I myself am really not too keen on red links in iboxes. Thank you for your continued help with this!

When I look at the documentation for Infobox tennis tournament event I see nothing for the parameters draw and seeds, yet they are used and obviously work for 2023 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles. Those parameters must have been added later but not added to the documentation. So first could this be fixed... thanks. Also, these article are supposed to be standalone so that you shouldn't have to goto 2023 Wimbledon Championships to find out the date of the event. Could we add a parameter of Date?

Since 2016 Wimbledon has included Men's and Women's Wheelchair Singles events among its titles. Can these please be added to the "Tennis events nav" module, similar to the other Grand Slam tournaments? I have included the relevant code needed to be added to the "wimbledonchampionships" section.

Wimbledon Championships holds Wheelchair Quad Doubles event, which is not included in the current template. – 333 -blue at 09:20, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
Ok, we are starting to get more complaints about this and I'm not sure how it got missed or why it hasn't been done. Here is the problem. On the page 2018 Wimbledon Championships – Women's Singles you can see the infobox and at the bottom it says WC Doubles (men women). That's professional wheelchair tennis. Starting in the year 2016 Wimbledon also had Wheelchair singles (men women)...so WC (men women) is needed starting in 2016, but not before 2016. The new links will have to point to, for instance in 2018: "2018 Wimbledon Championships – Wheelchair Men's Singles" and "2018 Wimbledon Championships – Wheelchair Women's Singles". I have no idea how to do it, but we could really use the adjustment. Could someone compose it and add it to the Template:Infobox tennis tournament event/testcases so Tennis Project can see it and approve? I don't think we need Quad added yet because that is strictly and exhibition event as of 2018. Thanks. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 09:21, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

The vast majority of articles about the competitions within tennis tournaments on Wikipedia suffer from a scarcely believable flaw - the first sentence does not say what the article is about. This is really appalling. It brings Wikipedia into disrepute. Thousands and thousands of articles are in this desperately inadequate state.
It seems that this template is the problem. I do not understand the functionality but it seems that all of these inadequate articles have been started using this template, according to the edit summaries like "Created page with '{{Tennis events|2019|BNP Paribas Open| | defchamp = Juan Martín del Potro | runner = | score = | draw = 96 (12 Q / 5{...'" which appear in the initial revision.
So, would somebody please do something about this. This template needs to be changed to prevent this crazy deficiency from being propagated in perpetuity. The damage it is doing is extreme. 146.90.125.65 ( talk) 22:45, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
@ Keroks: The template is not the problem, but it shows up as Created page with '{{Tennis events ... when a user creates a new page whose content starts that way, with no edit summary. The problem is that many of these articles don't include the word "tennis" in them anywhere, so it's hard to guess what they're about. For example, 2016 ITF Women's Circuit – Shenzhen Longhua – Singles, created by Keroks in 2016. They need to have sensible leads; articles that link to this template would be a starting point in looking for the problem. Dicklyon ( talk) 23:21, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
To be sure, you do also see this in other sports sometimes, like at 2009 BWF World Championships – Women's Singles before I fixed it. Can anyone tell what sport that is if they don't know what the B stands for? The lead should mention the sport, as it now does (after this edit). Dicklyon ( talk) 04:56, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Title says it all. I think Module:Tennis events nav should be updated to improve navigation between events - returning to the main tournament page back and forth is rather tedious. I observed that adding type = grand slam parameter does the job (see all Wimbledon Championships events' pages starting from 1913, for example...) but I understand that's not the parameter approved by Wikipedia Tennis Project.-- Borucic ( talk) 16:53, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi, can we add the Wheelchair Quad Singles and the Wheelchair Quad Doubles events to the French Open template like we have for the other Grand Slams?

Make the year in the defending champion row equal the before_year parameter if set. The defending champion must have won in the previous year the event was held, which is before_year. See
2021 French Open - Men's Doubles for an example of the issue, where before_year is set to 2019 but the defending champion row shows 2020.

Tripped over a category of errors: Category:Pages using infobox tennis tournament year footer with an unknown event - Turns out, most are failing when adding a "sub-nav" portion to the main InfoBox. So, at least "after_name" does NOT work when populated with SAME name as current article. (TemplateFix#1) - which I am willing to look into, but do not currently have template edit rights... Question #2; which I will repeat at Wikipedia_Talk:WikiProject_Tennis, Is adding this secondary nav part of a standard? (I am not seeing it, but it exists on roughly 50% of the "Tournament by Year" articles? See: 1884 Wimbledon Championships – Ladies' Singles as recently "fixed" article, and [ [3]] as article with "sub-nav" ... - Mjquinn_id ( talk) 19:56, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

{{{after_year}}} {{{after_name}}} – {{{event_name}}}
exists, and if not adds it to the "unknown event" error category. The issue is that in the articles with this error, editors have put e.g. | after_name = U.S. National Championships – Singles
, meaning the template checks to see if the article {{{after_year}}} U.S. National Championships – Singles – {{{event_name}}}
, e.g.
1882 U.S. National Championships – Singles – Singles exists, which it obviously doesn't. So editors have erroneously included the event_name
(Singles) in the after_name
param, which should just be e.g. U.S. National Championships
. I tried fixing this in an article
[4], and sure enough it is now in the "known event" category. The solution is for the template to check to see if articles exist at either {{{after_year}}} {{{after_name}}} – {{{event_name}}}
or {{{after_year}}} {{{after_name}}}
, which is a straightforward enough change. (the equivalent is true for before_name
). —

Hey, there. I need help with how to change the display of the Infobox tennis tournament event for the 2020 Summer Olympics, because when you click on any draw, men's or women's, singles or doubles, the draw itself isn't highlighted, like in other tournament's infoboxes, for example, in the infobox with a black, bolded, non-wikilinked color selection bar ( problem highlighted here).

I request to change the men
button wikilink from a wikilink to it being just a bolded in black highlighted button men
. See example here:
https://prnt.sc/1wgb1kz. All tournaments have the option, that when a subpage for a draw is open, the wikilink in the Infobox is null, aka not-wikilinked, in bold and black font color, except for the
Olympics tournament wikipedia page. In one of the
parameters for the Infobox in edit source, not TemplateData, the parameter for the tournament is Olympics, yet it creates a wikilinked draw for the page, it is currently on, shown in the example, but it should, in fact, be black and bold. This way the reader on XYZ draw aka subpage will be informed, indubitably, on what subpage they are. Although the name of the subpage is there, the draw should be emphasized, as well. I wish I had the know-how to do the edit myself, but I could not wrap my head around the TemplateData and its intricacies. Why is this the case and can you make it that it is not wikilinked, black, bold for the Olympic parameter, as well, please?

This template should force a capital letter at the start of the string that makes the title of the infobox. See for example 2009 Nielsen Pro Tennis Championship – doubles, where the infobox title is "doubles" from the article text after the dash, and should be "Doubles" since it's a title in the box.

{{

template. In my experience, most tennis articles capitalize the word "Doubles" or "Singles" in the article's title. The examples given
under "Draw articles" at WP:TENNIS use that formatting. It may be better to move the article in question to help it conform to the standard usage. –

{{#ifexist:}}
. Too many of those and everything slows way down. The {{#ifexist:}}
function can be used to keep the red links out of this ibox, and in fact is already being used a bit in the |subheader=

I'll look further, of course, to see if something can be done about those red links, because I myself am really not too keen on red links in iboxes. Thank you for your continued help with this!

When I look at the documentation for Infobox tennis tournament event I see nothing for the parameters draw and seeds, yet they are used and obviously work for 2023 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles. Those parameters must have been added later but not added to the documentation. So first could this be fixed... thanks. Also, these article are supposed to be standalone so that you shouldn't have to goto 2023 Wimbledon Championships to find out the date of the event. Could we add a parameter of Date? It should probably go at the top of the "detail" section. I can't believe it would be controversial but if someone does then remove and I'll bring it up for formal discussion at Tennis Project.
