Sorry

Apologies for my unintentionally misleading edit summary on Template:Infobox cricketer biography; I misread the diffs, and thought your second edit was a self-reversion. I stand by the actual edit I made, firstly since it's dangerous not to use an edit summary when changing a complex template and secondly since you left it slightly malformed. It would probably be good to post on WT:CRIC first before making any changes to the template, since there needs to be a consensus for something like that.

Umpires and infoboxes

Hi,

Just thought I'd let you know amended the {{Infobox cricketer biography}} to match {{Infobox cricket umpire}} - including IT20s as well. I'm planning to convert all of the 'cricket umpire' infoboxes to the all-encompassing one, as then all umpires can use the one infobox as well (adding player stats if applicable). It will also make it easier if new functions are added/tweaked with the biography template, such as the recently tweaked partialdates function.

If you don't mind using this one instead, the umpire one can be deprecated. The only changes you need to be aware of are to add the fields

| umpire = true

| columns = 0 [or 1-4 to set the playing stats columns]

and amend the spelling of 'testdubutdate' to

| umptestdebutdate =

If you've any questions, just drop me a line.
