Sugar Bowl
Does every Sugar Bowl not have an article? Cwater1 (talk) 20:59, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Cwater1: they do, and the links are provided in the Notes column. It's the standard table structure used in bowl game articles, see Rose Bowl Game, Cotton Bowl Classic, and such. Dmoore5556 (talk) 21:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- I should have known. Apologies. Cwater1 (talk) 21:11, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

2024 Sox Season
Hey, Dmoore5556!
The most recent edits by another user to last year's Sox season includes removing lots of information as well as the collapsable format of the team's transactions and game results. Are these edits good? I find it hard to navigate the page. Is it in line with MOS:DONTHIDE as the user suggests? Prior seasons have not been changed.
Figured I'd ask you (thanks as always for all your Sox-edits throughout the season). Go Sox! MattFry7 (talk) 22:10, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- @MattFry7: hi, I don't have any serious objection to the changes that were made. I see two chunks of changes: removing the use of collapse, and trimming the list of transactions. On the first: I feel that selective/focused use of collapse is fine, especially for content such as month-by-month summaries, but some editors go by a strict reading of MOS:DONTHIDE. Now that the season is over, it's arguably "better" to expand all the sections, whereas during the season there is logic to making it easy for users to see the "current" month by collapsing other months. On the second: the transactions section of the article was primarily maintained by editor BritishBornBaseballer, who captured pretty much every roster move the team made. It's not unreasonable (in my view) to scale that back and just note transactions affecting personnel on the 40-man roster, or some other "reasonable" yardstick, as long as such criteria are applied in a consistent manner. You could certainly reach out to the editor who made the changes as well. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 00:29, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- In my editing, I often look for consistency across different seasons, which is how this initially caught my attention. I better understand that perspective now. Thank you for your thorough answer! MattFry7 (talk) 15:24, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
