Generalize to 'Sports score'

[edit]

At a Tfd discussion of {{Dart score}} that resulted in a snow 'keep', User:Nigej mentioned that:

"Dart score" seems a poor name since the template contains nothing that is specific to darts. "Sport score" or similar would be better IMO.

and I responded:

Regarding possible rename to Template:Sports score or other name, that seems like a good idea, but one thing to investigate before going ahead with that, is situations where scores are reported lower-number-first. One could possibly add an optional param |lower-first=yes or |no-reorder=yes or some such to cover those situations. Tennis, for example, reports server first for a particular game, and match winner first for lost sets within a won match. Maybe other sports are like this as well?

(To that last comment I'd also add volleyball.) Just placing this here for the record. Adding User:DLManiac. Mathglot (talk) 04:33, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If someone call mirror this into the sandbox and add an empty testcases subpage, we can get to work on implementing reordering. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 18:30, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Though wouldn't that be clear from teh structure of the table this appears in, since the winning and losing sides will also need to be reordered to the left or right of the table, so shouldn't necessarily need a reorder in this tempalate, as it would make it not obvious which side has which score if the left and right sides are not related to the left and right scores. (ie. doesn't the entire table need to be written with left and right determined as winner and loser, and therefore 1 and 2 is set by the structure of the table this table cell sits in? ) -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 18:34, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
