Switch conversion done[edit]

Rugbyfan22, I've converted the template to be switchable and hopefully avoid the plethora of wrapping templates. This one was easy compared to {{rut}}! I haven't converted any article-space uses yet, figured I'd let you have a look-over just so that you can make sure I didn't miss something obvious.

{{Rus Danie Craven Stadium}} and a few others contain |sc=. I haven't looked into why. Many others contain |ol=, which appears to have been removed from the template a while ago. The pages in Category:Pages using rugby union stadium template with unknown parameters are sorted by the first unsupported parameter that is encountered in the article, but some Rus templates may use more than one unsupported parameter. If |ol= is not needed, it might be worth a quick run through the Rus templates to remove it so that other unsupported templates can be highlighted. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:43, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Probably won't get a chance to look at detail until the weekend, but will add it to my list. Will make sure there's no obvious redirects either. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:42, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

|ol= and |sc= are not, and as near as I can tell never, used in this template, so it's no great loss to ignore them. Primefac (talk) 19:51, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name change?[edit]

Any opposition to changing this to {{rugby union stadium}} for increased clarity? {{rus}} would still be usable as a template redirect, but I've been trying to get the template space more user-friendly by expanding abbreviated names like this. Primefac (talk) 13:37, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I support moving this template to a more comprehensible name, following the pattern of template renamings like {{tlx}}. Definitely leave a redirect because it is much easier to type and people are used to it. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:56, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No issue with the name change, Rus can be confusing for a non-rugby union fan or even rugby union editors who don't use them regularly. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:41, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
