I'm proposing a couple changes to ((WWE superstar))
- To extend the external link to include "profile" and move the external link icon there
- To add an optional parameter
|suffix=' to suppress the additional s on possessives of plurals ending in an s or z sound.
This is essentially applying a fix recently implemented on ((YouTube)) which is discussed here. (This will allow for correction of template-introduced typos, eg: The Nasty Boys's → The Nasty Boys'.) You can check my work on the sandbox and testcases. Thanks. - Reidgreg (talk) 15:03, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- While I have your attention, I've noticed a couple other templates which might benefit from some cosmetic alteration. ((Roh roster)), ((NJPW profile)) and ((Cagematch)) could have their output reformatted to
Name's profile at site, moving the external link icon to after profile. - Reidgreg (talk) 18:26, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the contribution. I've been thinking, and I don't know if we need the word profile at all. That would mean you woudn't need a possesive, and be consistent with other external link templates such as ((IMDb_name)). The link would look like "John Cena at WWE.com". I think the other templates could be similar. The NJPW one would be "Matt Sydal at the New Japan Pro Wrestling official website. I've notified WP:PW in case anyone else wants to comment.

- Another option to remove the possessive would be to phrase it as: Profile of John Cena at WWE.com - Reidgreg (talk) 11:10, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I think "Profile of John Cena.." would work too, instead of "John Cena's profile", but I think just "John Cena at.." is better than both as it is more succinct, and I don't think profile adds anything to the description as i think most people would expect an external link to be some sort of profile.
