[edit] Restructure of fixtures and results
After viewing the UEFA Champions League and Cup pages, I was thinking that it would be good to make use of the similar structure there to display the results in the table structure. This would align the team names and scores nicely for a better view. I noticed that it makes use of templates, so can anyone who knows how to use templates please show the way on how to do it?
Thanks in advance. Kiwi8 02:49, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- Most of the templates used in the Champions League and UEFA Cup articles are for two-leg matches, and incorporate code to show national flags of each team, so they're not strictly relevant for domestic competitions. However, there is code for showing individual matches in the group stages which you can adapt here. For example:
{| width=100% cellspacing=1
!width=20%|
!width=12%|
!width=20%|
!
|-
|[[September 13]], [[2005]]
|- style=font-size:90%
|align=right|'''Rangers'''
|align=center|'''3–2'''
|'''Porto'''
|19:45
|[[Ibrox Stadium]]
|- style=font-size:90%
|align=right|'''Artmedia Bratislava'''
|align=center|'''0–1'''
|'''Inter'''
|19:45
|[[Tehelné pole]]
|}
produces
| September 13, 2005 | ||||
| Rangers | 3–2 | Porto | 19:45 | Ibrox Stadium |
| Artmedia Bratislava | 0–1 | Inter | 19:45 | Tehelné pole |
- so, to explain what's going on, first we open the table (left curly bracket, vertical bar) then define the column layout of the table
- {| width=100% cellspacing=1
!width=20%|
!width=12%|
!width=20%|
! - we define that the table uses the full width of the article - width=100%, don't mess with the cell spacing. Then we define the width of non-standard colums with the "!width=" statement - the home and away team names get 20% of the available width and the result gets 12%, all other columns will have an equal share of the available space.
|-
|[[September 13]], [[2005]]
- Now we force a new line with vertical bar, dash. Since we're happy with the default size and font, we don't need to provide any parameters. Start each field with a vertical bar, even if, as on this line, there's only one field - the date. Now to the detail line:
|- style=font-size:90%
|align=right|'''Rangers'''
|align=center|'''3–2'''
|'''Porto'''
|19:45
|[[Ibrox Stadium]]
- Force another new line with vertical bar, dash, and this time as we want a smaller font than normal we define it by saying "style=font-size:90%". Mark the start of each field with a vertical bar; by default all fields are left-justified, but as you can see here, they can also be aligned to the right or the "center" (sic); any entered parameters are also separated from the data with another vertical bar. For bold text, use triple single-quotes, as usual. For football results we usually use – (ndash) rather than an ordinary dash. Repeat this style of entry for as many matches as you want, then finally close the table with a vertical bar, right curly bracket.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FA Cup 125 Logo.gif
Image:FA Cup 125 Logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
