Transparent background[edit]

OK, so I took 34 of the .png logos for the various Super Bowls (I didn't do some of the hard ones, but I did 34 of them, so that counts for something), and changed the white background to a transparent background. Then, I came here and removed the white background placed around the image, because it looks better like this with transparent backgrounds. True, it doesn't quite look as good on the few that I didn't mess with, but it looks better on the vast majority. I just thought it would be a good idea to tell the people who may care... -Platypus Man | Talk 04:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Game time and weather[edit]

Would it be possible to add parameters for each game's start time and weather conditions? Mdumas43073 (talk) 17:07, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This information is farther down in the "Game summary" section, "Box score" subsection using Template:Americanfootballbox. But it would be helpful to readers to also show the kickoff time (scheduled or actual) in this box since it appears at the top of the page; adding optional parameter "kickoff_time" (with displayed link to Kickoff time) after the "date" parameter would be great.

Teams season record[edit]

Parameter for record of teams in regular season? 71.146.15.241 (talk) 06:28, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

These parameters (visitor_record and home_record) were added around 2007. However, just a couple minutes ago I added these parameters to the documentation here. Facts707 (talk) 07:40, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Contents[edit]

This seems to be overfilled with some information not appropriate for an infobox. Opinions? Infinite mission (talk) 04:09, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you decided to remove several parameters. Because that change broke many articles, I've reverted it. The problem is that reference definitions are sometimes/often declared in the infobox parameters, and then re-used in the article. When the parameter disappears, the reference definition no longer enters the text stream of the article and leaves the article with undefined reference errors. Maybe some of the parameters should stay, maybe they could be deleted -- but if deleted, we have to embrace the work of fixing the affected articles.

Here is a list of articles that look like they were affected:

1946 NFL Championship Game
1947 NFL Championship Game
1949 NFL Championship Game
1953 NFL Championship Game
1954 NFL Championship Game
1955 NFL Championship Game
1956 NFL Championship Game
1957 NFL Championship Game
1958 NFL Championship Game
1960 American Football League Championship Game
1960 NFL Championship Game
1961 American Football League Championship Game
1961 NFL Championship Game
1962 American Football League Championship Game
1962 NFL Championship Game
1963 American Football League Championship Game
1963 NFL Championship Game
1964 American Football League Championship Game
1964 NFL Championship Game
1965 American Football League Championship Game
1966 American Football League Championship Game
1967 American Football League Championship Game
1968 American Football League Championship Game
1969 American Football League Championship Game
1995 AFC Championship Game
1998 NFC Championship Game

Maybe it's incomplete or inaccurate, but after reverting your change to this template, those articles seem to be in better shape. -- Mikeblas (talk) 22:42, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Add Kickoff time after Date[edit]

It would be helpful to readers to also show the kickoff time (scheduled or actual) in this box since it appears at the top of the page. Adding optional parameter "kickoff_time" (with displayed link to Kickoff time) after the "date" parameter would accomplish this. Facts707 (talk) 12:28, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
