[edit] Using the template properly

For the head coaches' pages: {{BrownsCoach}}

For the team's seasons' pages: {{Cleveland Browns seasons}}

For the template in general: {{Cleveland Browns}}

The general template should only be used on general pages; please use the Coach template and the Seasons template on their respective pages. Try not to use the general template on those pages. Wlmaltby3 03:02, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

For the starting quarterbacks' pages: {{BrownsQuarterback}} Wlmaltby3 02:34, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Creation of the template

I've created this template based upon the templates for the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts, though I simplified its design. I noticed that the templates used within those templates (that is, {{fb start}}, etc.) were for soccer, and not gridiron football. Therefore, I removed those elements; however, if it is necessary that they be in the template: by all means, add them in there the way they should be in there. I also simplified the seasons portion of the template, as it seemed too messy on the other templates. That is all there is to say from me, but I shall contribute to the articles as best I can.
