Expensive parser function overload
The Citadel Bulldogs basketball, 1900–1919 is malfunctioning (and is listed in Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls) because it has a lot of templates which use {{cbb link}} over and over again. That template uses "ifexists" several times, which is an expensive parser call. Billcasey905 has suggested fixing it by breaking up lists like Template:1913–14 NCAA men's basketball independents standings (there's a separate template for various years) into regional groupings, as has reportedly been done for football and baseball. Could anyone here help out with that? -- Beland (talk) 18:48, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- This had indeed be done for college football; see, for example, 1913 college football season#Independents. Jweiss11 (talk) 19:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Hunter Dickinson youth
Trying to find the first public domain content regarding Hunter Dickinson led me to December 2012 – February 2013 5th and 6th grade basketball story mentions in the Sun Journal from Lewiston, Maine for that name. Given we can document his 2016-17 Freshman season, and we have him being born in Virginia and attending high school in Maryland, Maine details are curious. He seems to be tracking for a third consensus All-American season, so I am looking for background help.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:29, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- There is a Hunter Dickinson from Lewiston [1] who is a Golden Gloves boxer of a similar age.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:43, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- P.S. The second post kind of resolves the second, I guess.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:57, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
College statistical leader lists in See Also?
Do college statistical leader lists belong in See Also sections. I find they are missing in most bios I am involved in.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:48, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
- MOS:SEEALSO says:
—Bagumba (talk) 15:31, 24 January 2025 (UTC)Links in this section should be relevant and limited to a reasonable number. Whether a link belongs in the "See also" section is ultimately a matter of editorial judgment and common sense.
- Honestly, that does not really clarify it for me. Are you saying I should reverse these additions?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:39, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- I merely cited a relevant guideline. —Bagumba (talk) 01:21, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Missing 4k point scorer
While creating the new Grace Beyer article, I noticed that three men have scored 4,000 points in college basketball history: Philip Hutcheson is the only one that is a redlink. His school (Lipscomb Bisons men's basketball) is now DI.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:49, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
Concerns about Buccaneer Field House
1. The default sort is to CSU. 2. It's been unsourced for 15 years. 3. It's filled with trivia. Can anybody fix these issues? Bearian (talk) 22:13, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
