Redundant template[edit]

IMO this template should be merged with Template:Infobox stadium. Of the major cricket grounds in Australia:

Melbourne Cricket Ground, Brisbane Cricket Ground and Bellerive Oval uses Infobox stadium
Sydney Cricket Ground, Adelaide Oval and WACA Ground use Infobox cricket ground

The infoboxes serve the same purpose but have a completely different look and feel. -- Chuq (talk) 05:05, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a lot of cricket-specific information in this one which is of interest to cricket fans and wouldn't be in Template:Infobox stadium. Stephen Turner (Talk) 10:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So what would be the easiest way of resolving the above conflict?

Redesign T:ICG so it has the same look and feel as T:IS?
Add the cricket specific fields to T:IS?
Drop the cricket specific info completely?

Any other options?-- Chuq (talk) 10:36, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i'm for adding the cricket specific fields to T:IS? --sss333 (talk) 04:17, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to remove lasttestdate, lastodidate etc. fields.[edit]

Discuss here. Thanks, Moondyne (talk) 03:12, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template can be used as module[edit]

This template should be used as embed of Template:Infobox venue because lot of stadium in Australia and New Zealand used for other major sports as well as cricket. Price Zero (talk) 03:38, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Price Zero, this now works. Frietjes (talk) 15:11, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Flag variants[edit]

Please add flag variant syntax to prevent anachronisms. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 12:25, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Illegitimate Barrister, I added "var" suffixed variables for every {{cr}} and {{crw}} call. it would be much less cumbersome if we just migrated the flag generation to the articles. Frietjes (talk) 14:55, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the fix. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 15:46, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Frietjes, could you explain how this works? I have just looked at the Old Wanderers, which uses the recent SA flag for Tests beginning in 1896 and 1939. I cannot work out how to insert the relevant SA flags. 88.104.146.161 (talk) 20:35, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Map fields[edit]

This template needs support for pushpin maps field like Infobox stadium. Highest priority for pushpin_map_caption, pushpin_relief and pushpin_map like the Template:Infobox stadium Vinay84 (talk) 22:17, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Small font size[edit]

I find some sections of this infobox very difficult to read comfortably because the text is so small. I can see that on some articles that changing this would expand the overall infobox size, but am not sure if that is a good enough reason for this infobox to use such small font sizes when the manual of style regarding accessibility advises against reducing the size within elements that already use a smaller font size. What do other editors think about increasing the text to the standard font size? EdwardUK (talk) 10:51, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rather a late reply but just had the same thought after looking at an article using this template. The small text is rather inaccessible and I would think against the accessibility guidelines. Keith D (talk) 00:00, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
