Boxing division labels[edit]

The labels should be consistent with articles for previous Games. The equivalent pages for 2014, 2010, 2006, 2002 and 1998 all use the Division name (max weight) format, and the individual article names (examples from 2014 and 2010) are all suffixed with division names.

This practice is also broadly in line with articles for Olympics (individual example) and AIBA World Championships (summary example). 86.5.42.146 (talk) 13:56, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No they do not. The categories are more identifiable with their weights. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 14:43, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A moot point as the weights ~~are~~ world be included in the descriptions on the main page and the 2018 boxing template, in which only the URLs need to be suffixed with the division name. 86.5.42.146 (talk) 17:14, 2 April 2018 (UTC); edited 17:22, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Originally @User:‎JoshMartini007 and I decided to go with the numerical weight descriptors (for uniformity with other sports and to avoid confusion). Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:57, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Unless consensus on this subject changes, then I'm OK with leaving the descriptors as they are. 86.5.42.146 (talk) 09:30, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As in the weight categories? What if the page titles had the weight names, but the template/medal summary had the numerical weights. Would that work? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 14:22, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that would work. I'll go ahead and change the page titles. 86.5.42.146 (talk) 14:58, 3 April 2018 (UTC); edited 15:00, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I also encourage you to create an account! Your knowledge would be an asset! Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:14, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your offer is appreciated, but I already have one. :) I do both account and IP address edits but I try not to do both on the same article. 86.5.42.146 (talk) 15:29, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
