[edit] Wikilinked years in sports

I wikilinked the years to the article on the year in sports. Leave me a message if there's any problems with this. --Jtalledo (talk) 22:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

This only becomes a problem when the founding "season" is spread over two calendar years, such as "1936-37". See recent edits to American Hockey League. Flibirigit 09:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
We'd have to follow the calendar year. You don't say the NBA was founded on 1946-47. --Howard the Duck 09:30, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Singles?

I have removed the "singles" parameter because it is showing up in every instance of this template. The parameter is not documented, and I'm not clear what it might mean. If you're going to add it back, please document it and make it optional. Rolando 23:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

After explanation by Valoem, added back as an optional parameter. Rolando 00:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
