Units in infoboxes

Why did you delink the units for height and weight in the Scarlets' players' infoboxes? Linked units are very useful for people who may not know what "st" or "lb" stand for, and it only takes up an extra 12 bytes per page, so it's not exactly a drain on anyone's bandwidth. – PeeJay 11:22, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to wikiproject rugby union

Hi, and welcome to the Rugby union WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to rugby union.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPRU Announcements}} there.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, peer review, and a collaboration of the fortnight.
• We have a Fiji rugby task force that focus on Fiji related rugby union articles.
• Our requests page has extensive lists of requested articles.
• We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorisation, and other issues that you may find useful.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Shudde ^talk 04:53, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

rugby league reply

I'm not fully sure with the context, but the point we are trying to make is that two players compared don't get glorified information in the infobox. Eg. Celtic Crusaders are part of the competition which is second grade to Super League (Europe) The point is:

Player A plays 250 games for Celtic Crusaders, wheares Player B plays about 5 games for the Crusaders and about 250 games for a first grade team. If we put that Player As games for the Crusaders in and he is seen playing 250 games for them, a reader comparing may think that the players are equal in quality. But 250 games for the first grade team against 5 is a better comparison to the quality of players.

In your context, because there are no current and former teams in the Super League (Europe) in the Wales region, then Super League is not a first grade competition in Wales. The next highest would be the National League One, but that comes second to Super League in England. But in Wales, its diffent. Its difficult, but with discretion and consensus the project can figure it out.  The Windler talk  12:32, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Many people have been working hard on getting a new infobox up and running and we would like to have your thoughts on the subject here.  CorleoneSerpicoMontana  07:46, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
