inclusion of insignificant players

Many team pages (for example, 2015–16 McNeese State Cowgirls basketball team) list a score of player names, none of which were significant and still remain insignificant. Do we really need to list them all and all their heights and high schools? Is that really encyclopedic? Kingturtle = (talk) 21:06, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

if a team season article exists, then yes rosters should exist with roster information. The only issue is if people starting creating articles of non-notable players. The make-up of the team is an important fact for a team season article. Rikster2 (talk) 21:25, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Expensive parser function overload

The Citadel Bulldogs basketball, 1900–1919 is malfunctioning (and is listed in Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls) because it has a lot of templates which use {{cbb link}} over and over again. That template uses "ifexists" several times, which is an expensive parser call. Billcasey905 has suggested fixing it by breaking up lists like Template:1913–14 NCAA men's basketball independents standings (there's a separate template for various years) into regional groupings, as has reportedly been done for football and baseball. Could anyone here help out with that? -- Beland (talk) 18:48, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

This had indeed be done for college football; see, for example, 1913 college football season#Independents. Jweiss11 (talk) 19:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Hunter Dickinson youth

Trying to find the first public domain content regarding Hunter Dickinson led me to December 2012 – February 2013 5th and 6th grade basketball story mentions in the Sun Journal from Lewiston, Maine for that name. Given we can document his 2016-17 Freshman season, and we have him being born in Virginia and attending high school in Maryland, Maine details are curious. He seems to be tracking for a third consensus All-American season, so I am looking for background help.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:29, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

There is a Hunter Dickinson from Lewiston [1] who is a Golden Gloves boxer of a similar age.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:43, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

P.S. The second post kind of resolves the second, I guess.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:57, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

College statistical leader lists in See Also?

Do college statistical leader lists belong in See Also sections. I find they are missing in most bios I am involved in.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:48, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

MOS:SEEALSO says:

Links in this section should be relevant and limited to a reasonable number. Whether a link belongs in the "See also" section is ultimately a matter of editorial judgment and common sense.
