Rename of article
[edit]The Wikipedia article Boxrec.com has been moved to BoxRec [1], therefore [[Boxrec.com|Boxrec]] should be replaced by [[BoxRec]]. --Cyfal (talk) 11:57, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

(I've simply edited the talk page a week before, instead of using the button "Submit an edit request" - does this make a difference? Because no one responded so far, I try it again...)
Here is my request: The Wikipedia article Boxrec.com has been moved to BoxRec [2], therefore in the template [[Boxrec.com|Boxrec]] should be replaced by [[BoxRec]]. Otherwise clicking on the second link, in, e.g., "Boxing record for BoxRec from BoxRec (registration required)" gots redirected. --Cyfal (talk) 12:13, 8 June 2010 (UTC) Cyfal (talk) 12:13, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- You don't need to use the "submit an edit request" button but you will need to add {{editprotected}} otherwise no one may notice your request.

Edit request from Cyfal, 8 June 2010

Thank you for your explanation, Martin! Could you (or who reads this) still replace [[Boxrec]] by [[BoxRec]]? Otherwise it's still a redirect.

- Oops, sorry, I didn't read your request very well. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:39, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
www. in template
[edit]BoxRec doesn't use the "www." part of the url, and all boxers records are http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=###&cat=boxer. I think the template would be better if that part were removed. Jfgslo (talk) 19:13, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
