Removal of medal template from Template:Infobox football biography
Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments2 people in discussion
Template:Infobox football biography includes medals because at the awarding of a team trophy, each player is awarded a personal medal as part of the competition to take home for their personal collection. They do not take the trophy home, that stays with the club they play for, so they medals are their personal award for being part of the team that obtained the trophy. For this reason, the medal template was put back in the infobox. This is why it is part of the Template:Infobox football biography options. You can reference Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Players for further guidance. I did use the winner/runner up version rather then the reference to make it more pleasing to all involved.

Where on Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Players does it say that we should use domestic league titles under infobox medals? There is no consensus on medal usage, the partial consensus is to use it only for multi-sport competition like Asia Games or Olympics, and maybe for World Cup, but definitely not for domestic leagues, see this and that.

@Snowflake91 What I see in these discussion is disagreement among editors on what should go here. I believe the editor who made this template was clear with (medal |Team |Template City F.C.), (medal| W |Template League | 2003), and (medal |RU |Template Cup | 2004), that they intended to be an inclusive editor for footballers who were not achieving international championships, but are still elite footballers. As stated in this, why would the Pan-American or Mediterranean or Baltic Cup competition rate over competitive national league? I will concede to the point that being in the infobox and having a honors section is redundant, but still believe that the lack of consensus about what goes in the honors section of the infobox does not support your point of "definitely not for domestic leagues".
