Template talk:Handballbox

Proposal

I'd like to make some changes to this template, and I would like to request comments before I go on. Here are the proposed changes:

Add optional halftime score, and overtime score when needed.
Add an optional row with information about suspensions (2 minutes).
Add an optional row with customizable information.
Move the report link to the left of the date.

I have implemented this changes in my userspace: Template code and usage example.

Nice to see some ideas around making this box more unique, since it is a (almost) directly adapted Footballbox. But anyhow I don't think we should make this box so much larger, since there aren't alot of handballeditors around to insert info/correct, and it could violate WP:NOT#STATS. I have taken your ideas into account, and this is what I think:

Half-time score is okay, but should be centered under the actual score.
- Overtime score doesn't happen often, so it could be placed on the bottom.
To note every player who gets a suspension would be overkill, but we could maybe note how many players, look at my proposal below
The customizable row will be invisible ,so it doesn't hurt to have, but noting the match's MVP is to trivial I think... (What else would it be used for?)
The report link, I think, fits perfectly under the scoreline, so why change it?
- Looked awkward where you putted it, but it could, in worst case, be placed below the date/time.
(I also made a change to the referee-code, and remember the thousand-divider ;o)

My proposal:

9 December 2008 20:15	Denmark	30–31	Norway	Biljanini Izvori Sports Hall Attendance: 1,500 Referee: Maric, Masic (SRB)
	Troelsen 5	(25–25)	Riegelhuth 9
	2x 3x	(Report)	3x 1x
	FT: 19–19 OT: 25–25, 30–31

Nice! I have to say that I am in no way a template or table expert, and your version fits the idea I had initially. Specifically:

Half-time
- Agreed. I don't like how the OT looks on the bottom, but it would be barely used anyway.
Suspensions
- Agreed. I see you've already created a 2min template, good work.
The customizable row will be invisible ,so it doesn't hurt to have, but noting the match's MVP is to trivial I think... (What else would it be used for?)
- I don't have anything special in mind. It could be removed.
The report link, I think, fits perfectly under the scoreline, so why change it?
- OK
(I also made a change to the referee-code, and remember the thousand-divider ;o)
- Sorry, I don't understand this. thousand-divider?

Color coding

I was wondering if it this template could get added a bg color coding which can be changeable and correlates to if the match is won/last/draw/in the future? Looking at the football box that already has this? E-Turner (talk) 14:22, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
