Infoboxes

Does anyone know what has happened to all the infoboxes? They have all changed visually and (IMO) now look awful.  Alan  (talk) 10:38, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Short answer: Bug.
Long answer: Responsive Vector 2022 is out, the idea is to make Vector 2022 more usable on mobile... I think. Not sure. It's supposed to apply Minerva (i.e. mobile) styling at small resolutions but it's doing it at all resolutions instead. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 11:33, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
They seem to be back to the way they were now. What is going on?  Alan  (talk) 20:08, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
It was a bug, and the bug got fixed. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 20:12, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
The actual issue you saw was a bug as far as I can tell. It's not super uncommon. Looks like it's fixed now. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 21:24, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

2025 World Champs sponsor

For those unaware, Cazoo entered administration officially earlier this month. While WST still continues to list Cazoo as a principal partner of the tour, and as a sponsor of the World Championship, I doubt that this will remain, as I'm sure the administrators will be trying to make the business meaningful [even though the writing is on the wall, figuratively, for the brand as a whole]. Based on this, how do we want to approach this situation regards to how everything is written on the 2025 World Snooker Championship page? Do we remove all references to Cazoo being sponsor of this event, until we're given confirmation by WST that they are remaining as sponsor for this edition, or place a note somewhere to say that this is in doubt due to its administration? --CitroenLover (talk) 19:44, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Neither. If there are sources (especially the official ones) that say they are sponsoring the event, then we should also say that. We are not here to theory out what is happening. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 19:48, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
The only source suggesting they are is a couple of static pages (ie the tickets and tournament pages on WST's website) which can have this label changed at any time and without warning. I don't think a piece of text on a very generic page about a tournament counts as a meaningful source that they are going to be a sponsor: remember that last years' UK Championship had no sponsor mentioned until the eleventh hour when it became MrQ, but if a piece of text on a generic page constitutes a meaningful source, I guess it needs to remain... despite the unlikeliness of Cazoo sponsoring anything lol. --CitroenLover (talk) 19:57, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
