MOS:FLAG[edit]

The automatic flag icon should be removed per MOS:FLAG from this and all other player templates: there is no ground for its use. Drmies (talk) 19:44, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Use of image with hover text for DL[edit]

I've just replaced the use of {{Abbr}} with {{Hover text}} for the DL icon, but I think this template is in a weird have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too place with the icon. The icon itself may or may not be clear, but Template:MLB roster includes a helpful caption so I don't think the hover text is even required. The issue, of course, is that other pages — some not MLB-related (e.g., 1977 Dallas Cowboys season#Roster — use just this template and thus do not have the legend. I still think it'd be ideal to remove the hover text by including a legend everywhere without {{MLB roster}}, but wanted to post here in case there were opinions on the matter. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:20, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support: IMO your solution is correct (remove hover text and make the legend universal), although I would add that there would be no harm in simultaneously increasing the icon's size, and thus visibility, slightly.Yogibeera (talk) 01:53, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
