I am not aware of an alleged consensus to just keep the 3x3 scores simplified. Which should be done? Which version is preferable.

Using 2026 FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup – Men's tournament as an example. Should it be:

• Option A - with the match boxscores
• Option B - without the match boxscores, scorelines integrated with the table.

To my defense, I am just following Basketball at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's 3x3 tournament template.

But @Alberto 1105 says there is some informal consensus to keep the tables simple.

In my opinion though, match sourcing is paramount if we are able. With Option B we are removing the date and the sequences of the matches. Just because previous editors are content with the previous approach that consensus cannot be changed/revisited. Also the Knockout stages imo would need sources for each match. Pinging the other user involved in the discussion. @Kante4 Hariboneagle927 (talk) 13:01, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

For me, unless it's WC or Olympics i do Option B BUT if an editor wants to add the boxscores, i won't oppose. Kante4 (talk) 13:06, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

I completely agree with @Kante4. I think this should be the way. Alberto 1105 (talk) 13:11, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

In my opinion, without meaning to diminish anything, I think it's a waste of time when it's already been stated that option A is the appropriate formula for covering all these types of events. I've also been observing year after year, and all competitions of this magnitude use this formula. I could give a thousand examples; here are a few:

- 2025 FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup – Men's tournament

- 2026 FIBA 3x3 Champions Cup

- 2025 FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup – Men's tournament

We always follow this template. It doesn't mean anything. It simply acknowledges that more isn't always better and that we've always used these templates in these tournaments. Alberto 1105 (talk) 13:10, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello, a new Request for comment was started at Template talk:Infobox basketball biography#Request for comment: should executive careers parameters be added to this infobox template?. I invite everyone to express your opinion in this basketball-related RfC. Best regards, -- Pofka (talk) 20:33, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello! I have created a draft article for Ajae Petty, who, according to the Women’s Basketball Task Force, is the only active WNBA player without an article. The draft can be found here: Draft:Ajae Petty. I have submitted it for review and am awaiting a decision on acceptance or rejection. I’d appreciate any help or contributions toward this article. Thank you! owlettestalk 21:29, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:46, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Jfc. I'll look into some of the Hispanic players... JTtheOG (talk) 21:48, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Jeeeeez. Would this ever go through? There's significant opposition to do this, but I guess just like decapitalization wars if the proponents are insistent and well entrenched, they could do it... Howard the Duck (talk) 22:31, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Just curious, were these wars in question over "NBA Draft" vs "NBA draft"? JTtheOG (talk) 22:33, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Not really "wars" among members of the NBA project or even basketball editors; there's this set of editors who decapitalized everything from sports tournaments (see NCAA Division I men's basketball championship) to tectonic plates. Editors who were maintaining these articles were no match in the insistence of this editors. How can you argue consistency if some WP:RS do capitalize these things for one reason or another? The editors who made the decapitalization campaign were banned a few months ago. (I would have not banned these guys, as these were really productive and longstanding editors, just that they used their clout to get their way).

FWIW, Talk:NBA draft#Requested move 2 (the RM that decapitalized it) had low participation. NBA playoffs didn't even have an WP:RM; Anthony Appleyard (RIP) just moved it unilaterally. (I can argue NBA Draft and NBA Playoffs are "TV programs" and should be capitalized). Howard the Duck (talk) 23:16, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Already happened twice (but by the smallest margins imaginable – both discussions were initially closed as "no consensus", brought for review, by narrow "consensus" were overturned, and then by narrow margins found to have "consensus in favor"): WP:LUGSTUBS and WP:LUGSTUBS2, though this one is planned to be even larger and on even more notable subjects. (My data so far shows about 80% of these are notable subjects that would be being redirected.) BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:40, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

The first spot I check for more sources in situations like this is the inter-language link for the native/local language. Lidia Gorlin has a relatively well-developed article on Italian Wikipedia (at least compared to en.wiki) with some sources there that might be worth checking.
