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)
