There are only four links of total relevance; Bailey herself, The Power of Love, Skyscraper and Compass. The others are only partial matches which I do not consider to qualify under

}} which is used for the 2000 Tennis Masters Cup. Any content changes made here should be updated in those templates as well.

and so on for the others. A clear case of redundancy, and an unnecessary need to duplicate work when making updates. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:56, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you can show the same result in one template, that will be a lot of if statements then go for it, as long the end result don't suffer then go for it. Put it is really unnecessary to do it. Dencod16 (talk) 22:04, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's right. {{
Infobox tennis event}} covers tournaments, such as Wimbledon. {{Infobox tennis match}} covers individual matches within a tournament. The two are orthogonal and most of the important details don't overlap between the two. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 12:42, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply

Propose merging the above infoboxes into Template:Infobox tennis tournament

A number of templates for individual tournaments; redundant to the generic template. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:25, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Procedural question: what precisely happens if a merger proposal like this is accepted? How exactly would the different templates be merged into one? Would all fields and functionality be maintained?--Wolbo (talk) 18:57, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Usually yes, but that depends on the outcome of the discussion. We might, for example, reach consensus that parameter Foo in template Bar is not needed. Once a merged template is created, we have several options to deploy it. If some of the nominated templates are low-use, they can simply be replaced, article-by-article. If they have a high usage, we might make them a wrapper for the new template> We then have the option to 'subst: them. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:07, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Isn't {{
    infobox tennis event}} the correct merge target here? It's massively more comprehensive than {{infobox tennis tournament}}. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 12:44, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • Merge - But it requires that the generic {{
    infobox joint Tennis Tournament}}, which has an ATP and WTA section (see example), although the fields in each section of this template are hard-coded (e.g. ATP_Prize_Money, WTA_Prize_Money) and that is probably not the best setup. Perhaps the addition of a field tournament 'Type' (e.g. Type_1=ATP World Tour, Type_2=WTA Tour) would be useful where each Type has its own set of fields (Category_1, Draw_1, Prize_Money_1).--Wolbo (talk) 14:32, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply
