Medal infobox

As in all events at the olympics that have thus far been competed an infobox for quick reference of medalists is provided (the purpose of an infobox). It is not redundant because the redundant data has been removed, it only provides access for the medalists. The event is also primarily an olympic event not a "water polo tournament" of its own. So the proposal is to use 2 infoboxes wihout redundant data.Lihaas (talk) 20:59, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll reply with the same comment I placed elsewhere:

Agree, it's clearly redundant. The only tangible difference is that the Olympic infobox has coloured icons for the medalists, while the other infobox uses the more generic "Champions"/"Runners-up"/"Third place" titles and also includes fourth place. The current infobox also has statistics like average goals per match, which seem trivial to highlight in an infobox in my opinion. But in any case, pick one of these, but using both is silly. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 22:28, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
