Retaining colours while embedding?
Is there any way to keep the header header colour for the sportsperson infobox sections when embedding as a module in a more broad infobox? For example, compare the single infobox of this article to the two infoboxes on this one. I am aware that you can include a module with embed = no, but this causes the module to be smaller than the overall infobox, which appears awkward. Jokojis (talk) 03:32, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Edit request 21 May 2024 Remove final full stop from «updated» output
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Description of suggested change: The «updated» parameter’s output is rendered with an improper final full stop, e.g. «Updated on 13 August 2017.», which according to the MoS must be «Updated on 13 August 2017».

- Please link to and quote from the appropriate section of MOS. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:28, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- I assume he means MOS:FULLSTOP. ("
Sentence fragments in captions or lists should in most cases not end with a period.
") Whether or not this is a "caption", it is a sentence fragment, and by the same logic it would probably be better style not to have a period. SilverLocust 💬 20:23, 22 May 2024 (UTC)- Done. Primefac (talk) 12:58, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Redesign
After the recent (today's?) redesign of this infobox, the cell paddings and content wrappings make the infobox unnecessarily long. I hope this can be fixed as soon as possible. Shouldn't these things have been tested before making such major changes in the first place? – Editør (talk) 19:01, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- For example the infobox of Femke Bol has become almost twice as long. – Editør (talk) 22:23, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- The redesign appears to have been reverted. – Editør (talk) 19:48, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
