{{Edit extended-protected|Template:Infobox baseball team season|answered=yes}}
Could someone please change the link text "BB-reference" here to "Baseball Reference"? I don't think that site ([[Baseball Reference]]) abbreviates its name that way, and there's plenty of space in the infobox to show the full name.

Before:
<pre>

| data17 = {{#if:{{{espntn|}}}|[https://www.espn.com/mlb/team/stats/_/name/{{{espntn|}}}/season/{{{season}}}/seasontype/2 ESPN.com] [https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/{{{brtn|}}}/{{{season}}}.shtml BB-reference]}}
</pre>

After:
<pre>
| label17 = Stats
| data17 = {{#if:{{{espntn|}}}|[https://www.espn.com/mlb/team/stats/_/name/{{{espntn|}}}/season/{{{season}}}/seasontype/2 ESPN.com] [https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/{{{brtn|}}}/{{{season}}}.shtml Baseball Reference]}}

== Dablinks created by template ==

I've reverted a recent change ([[Special:Diff/1266855481]]) where this template was automatically generating links based on the name of each baseball team. Unfortunately, it was also creating a large number of dablinks because there are a few teams (specifically the Texas Rangers and the Washington Senators) where the article title has a name other than just the team's name; the Texas Rangers article is at [[Texas Rangers (baseball)]], and the Washington Senators have multiple articles representing the different incarnations of their team.

:Ah, you're right. Good catch. Any other way to insert the a team wikilink there? Maybe adding a data field that editors can manually add the correct article page to as the link? I was surprised when there wasn't an actual wikilink to the team article in the baseball season infoboxes. --[[User:Torsodog|Torsodog]][[User talk:Torsodog|Talk]] 02:46, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
