Lacrosse Vs Field Lacrosse

To avoid an edit war, I will address this issue here. Recently it was changed from calling the league a field lacrosse league to a lacrosse league. But the MLL, LXM Pro Tour, ALL, NCAA and others as field lacrosse leagues. There are also separate articles for lacrosse and field lacrosse. NLL is described as a box lacrosse league, UWLX, WPLL are defined as women's lacrosse.

All that being said, I believe it is important for the page to define the league as a field lacrosse league, both for clarification and for uniformity. (Bes2224 (talk) 20:49, 8 November 2018 (UTC))

Added PLL league to Infobox Lacrosse Player template

I added PLL to the infobox lacrosse player template so that the generic "league" and "team" no longer need to be used. See the template here: Template:Infobox lacrosse player. - Mnnlaxer | talk | stalk 16:03, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Team City location

You need to clearly identify what city each team is from. It is almost impossible to figure out. It is never mentioned in a story. Give each team a home identity 216.239.179.157 (talk) 02:15, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

That's because they don't represent cities. The PLL is a touring league, where all teams travel to the same Cory and play in a festival setting. oknazevad (talk) 13:56, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

To a similar point: the article states the league tours 12 different "major market cities", but these major market cities are not identified. Additionally, I'm curious if anyone has sources explaining how the league intends to build a fanbase for any given team while eschewing the entire concept of "rooting for the home team"? 97.102.30.205 (talk) 16:02, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Moving Active Awards to their own page

There are already 14 active awards, accounting for over half of the space on the page. I think we should move them to a separate "List of Premier Lacrosse League Awards" to clear up space. SammySpartan (talk) 20:48, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Franchise timeline

@SammySpartan: The liberal use of colour in the current design of the franchise timeline is not very MOS:COLOR-friendly at all, and makes certain names difficult to read. A timeline using a consistent colour that makes distinct not only the names on the chart, but also the vertical lines marking each year, would be much more legible. — AFC Vixen 🦊 13:18, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Like I mentioned in my edit comment, I'm following the precedent followed by the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA and others. I've looked for previous discussions about MOS:COLOR concerns and have not found any, this may be an area for which a larger discussion would be appropriate. In regards to this page, I do agree that MOS:COLOR should be an ongoing concern and that the color of the text should sufficiently stand out from the background color (which it does not currently), however I don't think that that should be grounds for removing the current team-color schema.

I don't see why vertical lines marking each year would be needed though, especially for such a young league. SammySpartan (talk) 17:52, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Not sure what age has to do with it, it's just that not everybody is going to be able to perfectly envision the line going up from the year at the bottom to the top; it needs to be visible. — AFC Vixen 🦊 18:36, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
