[edit] Style guide

[edit] Density of information

Try to always consider that an infobox exists to support an article and provide a quick synopsis of important facts. This becomes vital when considering that the amount of space available within an infobox is significantly less than that available outside of it. Adding all seventy three nicknames that a player might have is highly informative, but will defeat the purpose of the infobox.

[edit] Wikilinking

As per the manual of style entry on linking, years should not be linked as they do not provide much benefit to the user.

[edit] Season year format

In order to keep the infobox from ballooning laterally, it is wise to keep date formats as compact as possible. Highly accurate dates are more useful in the article itself. Typically editors will use the 2005–2006 incarnation but when very pressed for space, 05–06 may be useful. Utilising the &ndash; character instead of a hyphen will help prevent line breaks creeping into the season.
