The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Motorsport class or another name that's clear but not too long. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 17:39, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging the templates {{Class A}} / {{Class B}} / {{Class C}} / {{Class D}} / {{Class G}} together, as they are mostly identical, except for the letter displayed and background color. They could also gain a more identifiable name since "Class A", "Class B", "Class C", "Class D", "Class G" mean a whole lot of things. I suggest {{Motorsports class tag}} that takes a single parameter, the class name, and outputs the current various square color letters. This will also allow expansion for other classes than these 5, and merging in of other such templates. The class name would be a selector to choose the display text and colors that are defined in the template. -- 64.229.90.28 (talk) 03:44, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

64.229.90.28, and {{Class G}}? — Qwerfjkltalk 03:45, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, oops, sorry, I missed that one. That one as well -- 64.229.90.28 (talk) 03:54, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
UPDATED to include {{Class G}} that I missed when I first wrote this up. -- 64.229.90.28 (talk) 03:56, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. Including also Template:Junior. Gonnym (talk) 12:31, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I created these templates and agree that they should be merged into one. Is it possible to have a name shorter than Motorsports class tag? Corvus tristis (talk) 05:21, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Corvus tristis, {{mct}}? — Qwerfjkltalk 20:35, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We try to avoid shortenings so short. I think {{motorsports class}} is probably fine. Izno (talk) 20:59, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can we just end this it is disrupting all feeder series articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RxxingAddict (talkcontribs) 12:29, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
