Keeping the topic of Retention policy and Auction rules

I know that the information would be available on other pages, but we need to give at least a brief of the rules and policies about the auction as this article would be the centre stage of attraction for the upcoming edition. Please share your opinions. Namaste! Wowlastic10 (talk)

A summary of the rules would be enough, rather detailing it completely. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 09:55, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

I would be shortening it within an hour but don't remove it. Wowlastic10 (talk) 09:56, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

@Vestrian24Bio is this enough or there's need to be shorten more as I have kept only the important points only. Wowlastic10 (talk) 10:23, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Flags and selection tables

@Blue Square Thing and Wowlastic10: It's better to discuss it here before the 3rd revert to avoid Edit warring. Discuss it here! Vestrian24Bio 04:40, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

I'd say Blue Square Thing is right about flags and tables. Vestrian24Bio 04:40, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

I want the tables to be here as they will be protected here else they would be spammed in the personnel changes section. Wowlastic10 (talk) 09:39, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

@Wowlastic10: That's not a valid reason for keeping them here. If they're that much "spammed" you can request protection for List of 2025 Indian Premier League personnel changes as well. Vestrian24Bio 09:42, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

So, they'll get spammed elsewhere and then we'll have two different versions of the same table? That would seem tricky Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:12, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

@Blue Square Thing: What do you mean by two different versions of the same table, the table would only be displayed at the List of 2025 Indian Premier League personnel changes page. Vestrian24Bio 10:12, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

If it were also on this page there'd be two different versions. I'm happy enough with it being on the personnel changes page - although I do tend to think there's too much information in them Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:47, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

MOS:FLAGS makes it clear that flags are inappropriate to include in articles such as this. Bare flags without a text link should certainly be avoided, yet seem to appear regularly and aren't challenged enough. My understanding is that once the individual season articles are created then the lists of players can be removed from here anyway? That certainly seems to have been the case on every previous version of these articles, isn't it? I'm not quite sure why we actually need the lists here anyway at this point – they can't really be used to help create season articles for teams. Fwiw the same issue with bare flags – sometimes using flagon – seem to impact season articles at times, particularly when they are being initially created. Perhaps some more eyes on those would be helpful? Most of last season's articles need to be changed to a format closer to that used at 2025 Chennai Super Kings season for squad tables at least (the auction stuff might be a little over detailed there, but it's got prose at least which is always nice to see). But there are some editors who actually need to read MOS:FLAGS Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:11, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

I agree with the squads table at 2025 Chennai Super Kings season, except for I don't think they should be divided as batters, wicket-keepers, all-rounders, bowlers due to MOS:ACCESS concerns. Instead, they should be added to a separate column titled "Role". Also, the tables should be made sortables. Take a look at 2024 Men's T20 World Cup squads for reference.

Displaying flagicons in overall squads table could be useful for events like ILT20 or CPL which don't have individual season pages yet, but they are definitely not needed for IPL. I will create the remaining season articles this week and then the table can be removed from here.

But I do think that we should include flagicons in the "Teams" section table to identify nationalties of coaches and captains. Vestrian24Bio 10:24, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Flagicons by themselves are not OK in any circumstance on any sports article. There needs to be some kind of text alternative as well – this is basic accessibility. In the tables of players, the national team that they represent is a reasonable thing to include. Football squads do it slightly differently with an abbreviation, but there is a text alternative which is the key. The {{cr|IND}} format works; {{cricon|AFG}} doesn't work; {{flagicon|AFG}} is even worse.

Fwiw, in my view the flags at 2024 Men's T20 World Cup squads are purely for decoration and I would remove all of them on basic accessibility grounds. They add nothing other than pretty colours to the article – and don't allow for any form of accessible alternative.

In terms of coaches, they simply aren't representing their nation in any way shape or form at that point. MOS:FLAGS is really clear on this – it is simply not the case that a coaches nationality is in any way "pertinent to the purpose of the list or table itself".

In terms of dividing up tables, I tend to agree. Personally I wouldn't bother to make them sortable though – this simply creates additional syntax. I've never understood the captain row – that seems to be a newer thing. One issue is that you'll end up with another column which bloats the table even more. Personally I'd argue that the salary and year signed columns are the least important in the context that they're being used – perhaps one or both of those could go? I'd be happy to experiment with different layouts for this sort of thing Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:47, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

I referred to 2024 Men's T20 World Cup squads for tables not having split headers and being sortables, not for flags. In my personal opinion, we don't need the "Year signed" nor a Role column. Maybe the salary bits can be a little more detailed in the "Auction" section and be removed from the squads table.

As for the flags here, we could use the method used at 2024 Men's T20 World Cup statistics, there are no flags instead just a linked text in parenthesis (i.e.: (IND) or (AUS)) after the individual's name. Vestrian24Bio 11:05, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

There, though, they're representing that country. The key in this article isn't the national team, it's the IPL team. That has a legitimate place in the table Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:19, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

@Blue Square Thing: I've created a base sample at Template:Indian Premier League Teams by season preload/doc/example. Don't mind the errors, they'll be fixed when the actual data is entered.

Any feedback and suggestions are appreciated from anyone! Vestrian24Bio 13:11, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

I will get to this - and I have lots of notes (as you would expect...) - but it'll be a day or two at least Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:19, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Whilst I'm at it, "Year signed" is correct English, not "Signed year". I'm getting fed up correcting this. Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:20, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

In the Personnel Changes section, 1st Paragraph, it should state - "Punjab Kings entered (instead of will enter as the auction has already taken place) the Mega Auction . . ."

In the Personnel Changes section, 2nd Paragraph, it should state "The Mega Auction (capital A instead of lowercase a on auction) was held (instead of will be held) . . .
