Cricketer infobox

Hello. Could you take a look at Template:Infobox cricketer which is the documentation for the infobox that we use for cricketers.

I've noticed some things that you seem to be doing that are non-standard and have the potential to cause confusion:

  • one role only please - there is no need to add a confusing and over-detailed set of roles for different formats. The infobox is supposed to be a summary of the main text of the article. If there are different roles someone has taken in different formats that belongs in the prose, not in the infobox;
  • in general go with the role that is specified in the CricInfo profile - unless you can source specifically any other role;
  • don't add incited nicknames - there has been substantial vandalism surrounding this area if editing in the past;
  • for bowling actions, please don't "pipe" to make the link include the right or left-arm element. So use Right-arm [[off break]] not [[Off break|Right-arm off break]]. The link looks as if it's on both parts otherwise;
  • don't pipe chinaman. This is a depreciated and, frankly, in most of the world clearly racist term. Wisden moved away from using it a number of years ago and no major reference source that I'm aware of uses the term these days.

Thanks. I'll see any message you leave here in the next week. After that you'll need to leave a message on my talk page. Blue Square Thing ( talk) 13:50, 4 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Information icon Hello, I'm Chanakal. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Chamika Karunaratne seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Chanaka L ( talk) 05:43, 10 July 2024 (UTC) reply
