Mass edits to athlete infoboxes

Hello, just sharing a heads-up. I don't know if this is something that has been agreed upon or not, but 178.255.168.37 (talk · contribs) has been making plenty of edits today to insert the olympic rings in athletes' infoboxes. See this edit to Willie May. Shazback (talk) 07:02, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I didn't realise this was a mass-edit sort of thing, but I saw this in a handful of articles doing some other template maintenance and removed it; I do not think the image is either necessary or helpful. Primefac (talk) 12:15, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Agree that it should be removed. Kante4 (talk) 14:50, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I've reverted about 3/4 of their edits, which were all +39s only adding the flag. There are still a couple dozen edits that will need to be checked. Primefac (talk) 15:41, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Reverted a couple more and Fyunck(click) (talk · contribs) aswell. A note should be made on their talk page explaining the removal(s) i guess...? Kante4 (talk) 16:09, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I put one on their talk page that Olympic Rings should not be added. Fyunck(click) (talk) 16:12, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. Kante4 (talk) 16:26, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

There's a lot more where that came from

I've just come across similar issues, like this edit by 108.21.67.83. There are thousands more where that came from; would it be worth someone (not me) using AWB or similar to remove them? They're also an accessibility problem for screen reader users like me as they have no captions or alt text. Graham87 (talk) 10:02, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Wow... that's a lot. I am not skilled enough for AWB so maybe someone can help? Kante4 (talk) 10:15, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

I was going to send a request to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks but thought it'd be best to get consensus first here. Or maybe someone here could do it ... you get almost the same results by restricting the search to the article namespace ... Graham87 (talk) 10:36, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Infobox - most gold medals - when two nations tie

So, at the 2024 Summer Olympics medal table, two nations each won 40 gold medals. Discussion at Talk:2024 Summer Olympics medal table seems to be at an impasse, so I'm escalating this to the project level. In what order, and for what reason, should the two nations be listed?

1.  China (40) and  United States (40), based on alphabetical order
2.  United States (40) and  China (40), based on total medals
3.  United States (40) and  China (40), based on silver medals
4. Tie (40), see table, to avoid the issue
5.  China (40) and  United States (40), for some other reason
6.  United States (40) and  China (40), for some other reason

Hopefully more input can help us form a clear(er) consensus. —C.Fred (talk) 16:59, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

The primary discussion appears to be at Talk:2024 Summer Olympics medal table § Which country to list first in tie for "most gold medals", let's not start multiple discussions in multiple locations. Primefac (talk) 17:31, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Merge discussion
