Third-place match

Is there a way to add a third-place match to this type of bracket? I'm sorry if I posted this question here, but I don't really know where else to ask this. Azuran 18:32, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

You'd have to create a new template and hack around with the tables. I don't know of any other brackets on Wikipedia that have third-place matches, but there may be such things. --dantheox 20:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Only 1 row

Is it posible to modify this template to have each name in a single row in this article? I'm reffering to something like this Template:32TeamBracket-Compact-Tennis3. Walint 17:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Larger bracket size

Not sure if this is the place for this in general, but I didn't know where else to find an answer--what gives with the new much larger bracket size for the best-of-threes? It makes it harder to see the groupings of two within the bracket, and it makes the names look too small for the box they are in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.46.28.47 (talk) 21:57, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Do not like the bolder brackets

This is being discussed at tennis project but in case we can't find the conversation in the future I wanted it mentioned here too. I really dislike this bracket choice. Maybe it looks better with names in the bracket, but I don't think so. Those heavy lines are what I'm gonna notice instead of the players names. The old standard version works well and looks better, and I don't even like the blue color changes for the rounds. If it ain't broke... Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:00, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Grouping of first round players into related fours

In a seven round competition involving 128 first round players, such as the Australian Open, it is very difficult to visually distinguish in the FIRST COLUMN which 32 GROUPS of FOUR players will contribute to each second round match-up as they are all CLUMPED TOGETHER in groups of 16 in the Template:16TeamBracket-Compact-Tennis3. My efforts to change this template have been to make such a distinguishment visually clearer. With this new modification I've decided not to blacken the border lines as some people find it "too bold". Instead I've kept the grey-coloured scheme and just thickened only those lines that help visually separate each four first round players that contribute to each second round match-up. This is a very MINIMAL modification and I hope it doesn't get reverted yet again as it is very draining to try to improve something if people keep instantly undoing your improvements without being OPEN-MINDED to the changes.

I undid it to give others a chance to weigh in, before it gets widespread use and we have to change back many articles but of disagreement. Side by side I really don't care which we use... I didn't have any kind of problem with telling which groupings went where with our standard groupings but it's also possible that maybe some might. You could have done this on a sandbox page and brought it to the attention here and at project tennis talk. Or even done it to the template and then self reverted and shown us the difference. I agree that this is more a minimal change just to thicken several border lines and it might fly with other editors. I'll point some this direction and see what they think.

I'm sorry, I only feel indifference. Only better than the initial changes, this minor change is OK, but the previous state of the template is/was just as fine. Jared Preston (talk) 21:08, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Convert to lua version

@SocietyBox: I don't know if you are aware that your edit converting the template to use lua module was reverted by User:Fyunck(click) with the reason "non-discussed changes." Are you still interested in converting this template to lua version?

Basically, I know nothing about this template or module. I just want to see this template being converted to lua version, so I bring the issue up. Hopefully you guys will be able to discuss about pros/cons of the lua version. --Nullzero (talk) 03:05, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

@Nullzero: Problem is, there are too many nuances between the different versions to convert them all to using the same Lua module. And since no-one really responded to my discussion at WP:TENNIS, I sort of gave up on doing anything more. As for this template specifically, it's really down to you and Fyunck(click) whether you could restore the edit. --SocietyBox (talk) 05:16, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Doubles Alignment

In several doubles brackets on various badminton pages the names of Doubles entrants are no longer aligned properly. The second player listed is indented. This is true for brackets that date back a few years and had entrants aligned left until very recent. Does anyone know why this might have changed? Badminton examples can be found here: 2015 India Super Series, 2010 Denmark Super Series, or 2012 Hong Kong Super Series. --MorrisIV (talk) 16:26, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

The reason is because the template used to have all cells indented by having a whitespace ( ) at the start of every cell. When the content is longer than one line, the alignment would be wrong. So for doubles, editors added a whitespace to the start of the second line. This is poor as it doesn't separate style from content. I'll try to use WP:AWB to fix them all. --SocietyBox (talk) 02:10, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Fixed by adding backward-compatibility to module. --SocietyBox (talk) 05:22, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing the problem. I've never used AWB before so that would have been a long, tedious job for me. The brackets look wonderful now.--MorrisIV (talk) 19:01, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
