Players to include in table[edit]

It didn't see very clear to me exactly which players to include in the table or not, so I decided to be bold and change it so that only the managers, players on the active roster, and players on the 15-day DL are listed. -- Gogo Dodo 23:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And if we change it to the Template:Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim roster? I think your (and mine too) problems will be solved. 201.67.128.170 01:41, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a bit of precedence for having two separate templates: one for the 25 man roster and one for the 40 man roster. For example, Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees are set up that way. Actually, very few teams have two templates. If there is consensus to merge it, I'll merge it. -- Gogo Dodo 04:08, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I Agree. Let's be bold and do it. Aladdinlee 01:48, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's not what those templates are for. Please don't do this.►Chris Nelson 02:00, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now I do not understand. There's a template with the 25-man Roster. This template includes the Angels Coaches and others. And now, the 15-day Disabled list (wich players are in the 40-man). Why not just use one template, the 40-man, colorful and better organized? Aladdinlee 02:13, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That template is gigantic and not meant for player pages. It is meant for, primarily, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim page to illustrate the current roster. This template is for player pages, so you have quick access to other players on the roster. They serve two different purposes and hence do not need to be merged or replace one another.►Chris Nelson 02:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I got it. Anyway, I disagree. I do not see the 40-man roster template that gigantic. And I can't see the organization in the other one here. For me, this template is ugly and out-of-date, when I look at the other.Aladdinlee 02:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it is ugly. So make one for Anaheim like Template:Yankees.►Chris Nelson 02:30, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion is to not merge the templates. They do have distinct purposes per the reasons stated by Chrisjnelson. I agree that it could use some compaction to make it shorter, but I'm not sure I like the Yankees template any better. I like that the players are grouped by position. -- Gogo Dodo 03:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well you could always use the Yankees template as a base and change it to your liking.►Chris Nelson 03:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

True enough. Maybe I'll work on that when I find a bit of time. -- Gogo Dodo 21:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look for some time to do that too, maybe next weekend. Aladdinlee 01:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
