Hi, thanks for fixing that. I intended to add the Wisden Trophy category but it looks like a copy and paste went wrong. Actually, Wisden Trophy was the predecessor to this one so I won't use it. ] (]) 15:10, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

==NFL lists sidebar==
Hello, and I'd ask that you please ]. It seems every argument used against it, including the nom, was the fact that it existed (i.e. that sidebar navboxes duplicate some of the items used in footer navboxes). This doesn't work, as sidebar navboxes are allowed, and hundreds of them exist on Misplaced Pages. Please read the discussion again, there was actually no argument that makes sense if the existence of sidebar navboxes is allowed, which it is. Thanks. ] (]) 15:44, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
: {{u|Randy Kryn}}, I re-read the discussion, and the argument was that every page using the sidebar was already using a footer navbox, and people felt that was excessive/redundant navigation. If you would like a review of my close of this discussion, please open one at ] and ping me. Thanks! ] ] 14:38, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
::Hello, thanks for re-reading. I would say most major pages with sidebars also have footers which contain within them the same information. In this case, and most of the others, specific information is pulled out and presented in a concise format. That's the important difference. See biographical navboxes, such as those of Martin Luther King, some U.S. presidents, etc., which have both sidebars and footers. Editors may be told in a nom that this is redundant and sway editors to say "yes, it is, that's in the footer", but for site consistency the use of sidebar navboxes is accepted and common. Maybe a review yet this seems obvious when the wider and consistent site-usage exists. ] (]) 14:47, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
::: There is history of sidebars being deleted at TFD when they are an exact (or near exact) copy (or subset) of the links in a navbox footer. Some examples I found are ], ], and the long series starting ]. There are also some that closed as no consensus like ]. Sidebars are considered on a case-by-case basis. Thanks! ] ] 14:55, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the research. In some forms to be a Wikipedian is to be fine with time sinks, so thank you for putting up with questions and concerns like mine. It was such a good navbox and so easy to use, check, and navigate from article to article. I at least have a personal copy, but I bet hundreds of readers are going to miss it (maybe not, I could be an outlier). ] (]) 15:05, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

== Subst wrapper ==

Hi Plastic. is really neat. Will this approach work for other wrapper templates, and is this method documented anywhere? &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>(]&nbsp;·&nbsp;])</small> 21:54, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
: {{u|MSGJ}}, I don't know about the extent of the documentation. This approach is used in several foreign language citation templates like ]. For infoboxes, there is ] used in ] and ]. There are many more examples, but no documented list as far as I know. Thanks! ] ] 14:35, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

== "John Ryerson (tennis)" ==

Today I saw that my latest (end of day 2/28/24) revision on the article referenced here which seemed to have been accepted seem to have been published, checking at the https://en.wikipedia.org/John_Ryerson_(tennis), had been completely replaced with the original. What happened? Was my latest revision rejected. after all? Was did some unauthorized person hack into my account and reverse what I had done, a thought carefully following at the rules. Overnight, I thought about making a further revision, but am stuck now, wondering how to proceed. Please advise, if possible. ] (]) 17:00, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
