Loganberry (talk | contribs) →WP Cricket template: what is "retirement" |

Line 392:
::By "current", I whosetheir articles will need updating periodically. I don't think that "attention" will quite do what I had in mind, which wasn't to flag articles for immediate action but to act as a reminder that periodic updating will be necessary. Obviously once a player retires, the "current" parameter would need to be removed or set to "no". JH ([[User talk:Jhall1|talk page]]) 09:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Sure, but how do we decide when a player has retired? Take Graham Gooch, for example: he played his last first-class game, for MCC, three years after his penultimate match. Admittedly the change in format for the Friends Provident Trophy has eliminated perhaps the most common potential problem here - where a player retired from first-class county cricket, went to play for a minor county, and then appeared for said minor county at List A level in the NatWest/C&G Trophy. But I can easily imagine a fringe player making a handful of appearances with a year or more between. [[User:Loganberry|Loganberry]] ([[User talk:Loganberry|Talk]]) 14:12, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
::::Even a retired player will need their article updating periodically if they go on to other things (coaching, media work, writing...) - you might as well make it ''living'' rather than ''active''. →[[User:Ollie|Ollie]] <small>([[User talk:Ollie|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ollie|contribs]])</small> 17:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Is the {{tl|CricketWatch}} thing in the template? If not, should it be in the template because not all cricket articles have (though incorrectly) have the cricket categories but may have the WP Cricket template.--'''''[[User:THUGCHILDz|THUG]][[User talk:THUGCHILDz|<font color="#E41B17">CHILD</font>]][[Special:Contributions/THUGCHILDz|<font color="#C0C0C0">z</font>]]''''' 00:34, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
:I don't think Watchlistbot will work like that. Also, I think there are more article in categories without the banner than there are articles with banners but no categories. →[[User:Ollie|Ollie]] <small>([[User talk:Ollie|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ollie|contribs]])</small> 17:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
