Edit request 28 November 2024

[edit]

Proposal: Could we consider adding a "Nationality" section to the infobox? I believe this has become increasingly relevant, especially with the growing number of dual nationals and players eligible to represent multiple countries. Such information is now essential, as it accompanies players in every aspect of their careers—from international call-ups to transfer negotiations and even public discussions.

@Lunar Spectrum96:  Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit template-protected}} template. I don't see any recent discussion at WT:FOOTY about this. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:15, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal / Discussion

[edit]

Proposal Could we consider changing goals and appearances in infoboxes to be total (League,Cups,Continental) Is there a reason why its kept to league goals and apps only? IrishReader1996 (talk) 18:29, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@IrishReader1996: This has been discussed many times before, the reason other competitions are omitted is due to the difficulty of sourcing such statistics from the distant past. League appearances/goals from the early days of football are much easier to confirm then cup appearances. It is even difficult to source modern cup statistics for lower-league clubs and those from smaller countries. Therefore for consistency's sake it was decided to only display league appearances. S.A.

@S.A. Julio Thanks Very much for the answer this makes a lot of sense. IrishReader1996 (talk) 18:38, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We usually display 'all' competitive games in a stats box - see e.g. Sherwin Seedorf#Career statistics as an example. GiantSnowman 19:00, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
