[edit] AHL Standings & future tasks
Dear Mr. Steak. Thanks for helping with infoboxes for AHL teams. It was a task on my to do list I had not gotten around to yet. I recently made AHL season articles from 1936 to present. I can save you time with AHL standings if you were going to do those too. I have them underway for all teams, past and present, including playoff results. I hope to finish these by the end of the current season's playoffs. Do you have any other future tasks regarding the AHL? Flibirigit 01:11, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- No problem Flibirigit, I saw some information such as arenas and cities in two places and decided to focus on bringing it all together. I got the idea on the infobox from the NHL one and it went from there. I am now into the past teams now with their own infobox (Template:Defunct Hockey Team). The template I made is universal so any past team from any league can use it. As far as the standings go, I wasn't going to do them, but since I created the PEI Sens and the New Haven Sens, I put them on there. Mrsteak613 02:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- I like the template you have, but others already existed too. Check out the home page for WikiProject Hockey, there's lotsa helpful hints. If you need any advice or shortcuts let me know. I've also added as many team logos as I could find, and I spent hours looking. So if you come across a team with no logo, its cuz I couldnt find it. Also, if you want to know about parser functions let me know. These are "optional fields" in templates. Flibirigit 04:08, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- The parser functions sounds like something good, I would like to know more on that.
As far as the playoff results go i'm just wondering how you were going with it, not because I want to do that too, but I think that it is a good idea to showcase it for the team, and cause i had an idea on it? Mrsteak613 21:14, 10 February 2007 (UTC)- For a look at parser functions, see Template:Hockey team. It is currently implemented for all teams in the Canadian Hockey League, and other junior leagues in Canada. As for playoffs, there are two options, one is to list round in word version for example, see Sudbury Wolves. Flibirigit 02:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- The other option for playoffs is to display the items in a chart, where the rows are the seasons, and the colums are the rounds, and the data in each cell are the results of the series. This option was discussed over a year ago in the IceHockey Project. Flibirigit 02:48, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

- Hey, How's this for starters? (see: Syracuse Crunch) I chose the Crunch because it's my hometown team.
I think this was the second option, and it might be the only one I do.
I took the "Playoffs" row out of the records because it would only be a duplicate of the "Playoffs" table result.
Playoff results are a part of the year by year history and should be showcased just as much as the regular season. Mrsteak613 00:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC)- Yes, I am working on something similar. It's about 55% complete for all AHL teams, past and present. Flibirigit 04:06, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] River Rats / CDI
Hi, why did you delete the reference to River Rats being the same franchise as the CDI? Ditto for the Amerks? And on another note, I'm compiling references regarding NHL/AHL affiliation agreement, that I thought you might be able to help. See: Talk:American Hockey League and my "scratchpad" at User:Ccwaters/ahl affil. ccwaters 16:30, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sorry
Sorry about that, I put them back on. Didn't think that it was ok to mention them after I put them on the right a while ago. So maybe I can expand that part of the box to include other teams that have moved on. I did that to the Hamilton Bulldogs a while ago, but only mentioned the two Bulldog teams as seperate entries. On the other note, i'll give it a look. Mrsteak613 17:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I wasn't complaining about where you have or don't have that information. I was just requesting that it be somewhere in the article. ccwaters 17:53, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Wasn't thinking at the time. true mistake Mrsteak613 18:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Template Category Tag
Hi there - thanks for the new team template on Milwaukee Admirals. It looks great, but now the entire entry is tagged "Category:Mrsteak613". Is there any way to change your template to eliminate that? --Chancemichaels 14:27, 22 February 2007 (UTC)Chancemichaels
- I just did. Please don't tag articles with your category in the future. There is no ownership of articles. ccwaters 14:51, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Page move
I have moved User mrsteak613 retired number page to User:Mrsteak613/retired number page; at the previous title it was actually an article, and it looked like you intended to make a subpage of your userspace. Be sure to include the colon (:) and slash (/) when doing so. Thanks – Qxz 06:08, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks...I'll Keep that in mind Mrsteak613 00:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
