Would like to use the infobox games for the South American Games, e.g. here. However, there are only South American Games or South American Beach Games, rather than Summer or Winter Games. Appreciate to have parameters "next" and "previous" in addition to "Snext", "Sprevious", etc., without displaying "Summer:", "Winter:", etc. in the infobox.
Wow, this template is messy. I see two possible options. The first is to just use what is currently given, specifically that if |host= is given, the label is just "Host", as seen in this fix I did for the 2026 Games. The other option, should we really need to have multiple host types, is to add in a |host_type= parameter that would change the label itself. Not particularly thrilled with the second option but I can code it up if it's really desired. Primefac (talk) 09:06, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's not particularly bad, just makes for more #if statements. I'm also generally a fan of not changing existing norms unless there's a good reason, and having a generic "Host" option fixes your issue without actually needing to change anything. Primefac (talk) 19:35, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have not edited the template; using |host= sets the label to "Host" and not "Host city". I've added it to the /doc to make it more obvious that it's an option. Primefac (talk) 20:10, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This series of edits by Dinnerbrone seems unnecessary to me, but it does bring to light the fact that this template has way too many alternate parameter names. I think we should standardise and deprecate all but "the usual suspects", i.e. lowercase and underscored names. I can see a few params where it makes sense to have multiples (e.g. |host_city= and |host=) but ((if empty | (({nations participating|))} | (({Nations participating|))} | (({Nations|))} | (({nations|))} )) is just silly (we just need |nations=). I don't think I necessarily need to make a list, but if someone wants to debate the merits of keeping or getting rid of any particular set, I can do so.
