Hey guys! I was recently watching Resistance and noticed we don't have a Racer infobox type yet. So I'm proposing that we make one. The main colors would be that of the checkered flag, white and black. Representing the finish line. This will also help identify Podracer pilots like Sebulba and Ratts Tyerell.

  1. There's at most maybe 250 articles that this would apply to, and I wager most of those have a more important affiliation that would take precedence. Also, frankly, black and white like that would not play well on either light or dark mode. Cade GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit Calrayn 19:44, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
  2. Many racers, as Cade points out, would have affiliations that take precedence over their job, such as podracers in the pocket of the Hutt Cartel or the Team Colossus pilots allied with the Resistance. We do have occupation-based infobox types alongside the affiliations ones (bureaucrat, musician) but racer is too narrow a scope Fan26 (Talk) 22:15, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
  3. I just don't think the idea is doable. NBDani TeamFireballLogo-Collider(they/them)Yeager's Repairs 00:23, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
  4. Per Dani; and ideally these categories are for some super broad section of articles.—spookywillowwtalk 00:35, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

  6. Yea in practice its application would be minimal, per above. Wok142 (talk) 18:21, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

  11. Infobox color themes should be restricted to affiliations in my opinion. Xd1358 (Talk) 10:36, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

  13. There are already 29 different types. Instead of just adding new ones we should consider instead if some of them are unnecessary. Also per Bonzane. 01miki10 Open comlink 14:34, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

  • Too narrow of a scope for an entire infobox type. I'd consider doing someting for athletes or something along those lines though, more broad. Bonzane10 Bonzane10-Sig 05:16, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
