Cleanup/still needed?

@Frietjes: I am not too good with Modules yet so I'm wary of editing this... Category:Pages using infobox cyclist with deprecated parameters is now empty and I have removed support for the deprecated params from the template. I also added Module:Check for unknown parameters to the template so any instances of the 6 deprecated params that are added in the future will show up as unknown params. Can you help clean up this module? Lines 149 through 157 can certainly be removed... I also question the need for the rest of this module. Do we really need a module to check that all year params have a matching team param? If so, those should go to a different category as it is not a deprecation issue. Perhaps a Category:Pages using infobox cyclist with effed up params cuz people suck? Let me know your thoughts and let me know how I can help. --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 18:21, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:Zackmann08, looks like the new syntax was introduced in July 2014‎, which is probably long enough in the past that we can safely remove the old syntax. the module checks for a bunch of things like (1) mismatches between the numbering of the years and teams parameters, which was a common mistake during the conversion to the new syntax, (2) people still trying to use the old syntax br-tag or list syntax but wedged into the new parameters, and (3) malformed weight/height parameters. I will take a closer look later today and see if we can safely kill this. thank you. Frietjes (talk) 18:28, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

for the atypical weight/height stuff, the task is this sort of thing. basically, use auto unit conversion. Frietjes (talk) 18:32, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
