Template talk:Infobox NASCAR driver


I think the title of the infobox should be what is defined in the template as Name. This would fix issues such as at Kevin Conway (NASCAR driver) where the disambiguation is in the title of the infobox. That appears to be how the generalized {{infobox person}} works. Thanks. PS, I think the issue is because name is not capitalized in the code to display the name, but it is when the template is used. --71.243.55.62 (talk) 05:03, 31 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

While according to Template:Infobox NASCAR driver#Parameters the name parameter demands the full name be entered, The Bushranger has pointed to the fact that the infobox header standardly matches the page title (see Bill Clinton, for example).--Fluidfellow (talk) 16:20, 15 November 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Another question that just popped to mind: the Corona Series is included in the template; why not the CASCAR/Canadian Tire Series? - The Bushranger One ping only 02:53, 11 November 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This message is to notify you that there is an RfC ongoing on whether to add pronunciation info to {{Infobox person}}, a discussion which may also affect this template. Your comments on the matter are appreciated. The discussion can be found here. Thanks! 0x0077BE (talk · contrib) 17:15, 16 November 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm not really up to speed as to how Infobox templates work under the covers, but noticed an issue affecting Jeff Gordon which led me to look at this template. When this Infobox is used at Jeff Gordon, there's a red link to 2000_NASCAR_Nationwide_Series, which is from the Infobox entry "Prev_Busch_Year = 2000". Does "Prev_Busch_Year" always go to YYYY_NASCAR_Nationwide_Series (regardless of the actual years when it was Busch vs. Nationwide vs. Xfinity) because header10 lists "Series = NASCAR Nationwide Series"? If so, I guess the only way to fix the red link is to create a new 2000_NASCAR_Nationwide_Series page which redirects to 2000_NASCAR_Busch_Series? Or is there a way that this template can be smart enough to go to Busch/Nationwide/Xfinity for the appropriate years? Gmporr (talk) 01:45, 24 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
