[edit] Parameters
- name - defaults to the variable {{PAGENAME}}, however it is advised that the name field is always entered to preserve the player's name in the infobox should the article be disambiguated at a later date. When specifying, do not wikilink the information.
- image / width / caption - used in conjunction to display images. All are independent and thus can be included or left out on an individual basis. Width defaults to 200px, so there is no need to use it unless this value needs to be changed. Caption displays small text, so there is no need to specify font size in the field. When specifying, do not wikilink the information. Null fields can be removed from the box.
- currentteam - used to display the team that currently employs the said player. This also determines the colors used in the infobox. If player is unemployed, fill in as "Free Agent." When specifying, do not wikilink the information.
- currentnumber - used to display the players current jersey number. If number is not currently known, fill in as two dashes (--). When specifying, do not wikilink the information.
- currentpositionplain - used for players who play multiple positions (ex. Wide Receiver / Linebacker) or players that play a position with an article located at a disambiguated page (ex. Guard (American football), Fullback (American football), etc.). Additionally, do not specify positions beyond the basics. For example, use only "Safety" rather than "free safety" or "strong safety," or "Linebacker" as opposed to "Outside linebacker" or "middle linebacker," as these things are susceptible to change and therefore may cause inaccuracies in the infobox.
- birthdate - used to display the players' date of birth. Recommended format relies on the {{birth date and age}} template. Wikilinks are acceptable.
- birthplace - used to display the players' place of birth. Do not use flag icons, per Wikipedia:Manual of style (flags). When specifying, do not wikilink the information.
- heightft / heightin / weight - used to display the players physical dimensions as listed at official team websites. (Preferred contingency source is ArenaFootball.com). Use either height is or heightft+heightin. Weight should be the players weight in pounds. Only enter the numerical value. When specifying, do not wikilink the information.
- debutyear / debutteam - used to display the relevant information for when the player first appeared in a regular season or postseasonNational Football League game. (Preseason games do not count.) Also, note that being on an active roster does not constitute a debut, nor does dressing for a regular season game. For the purposes of this template, debuts are only actual playing time in a regular season or postseason game. When specifying, do not wikilink the information.
- college - used to display the college institution the player attended prior to joining the AFL. If a player attended multiple colleges, only the most recent is displayed. Wikilinks are acceptable.
-
- Links should be as specific as possible. For example, Southern California should be linked to University of Southern California Trojans football, rather than the main university article. If a school football article does not exist, link to the school's sports article. If that does not exist as well, link to the appropriate section of the school article. For example, Marshall would link to Marshall University#Athletics.
- Schools names displayed should be consistent with how they are presented at ArenaFootball.com, meaning things like "University," "University of" or "College" are typically dropped and only the unique name is given. For example, the University of Pittsburgh would only be displayed as "Pittsburgh," the University of Georgia as "Georgia," and so on. Schools like the University of Miami should be listed as they are on ArenaFootball.com, as "Miami (Fla.)."
- pastteams' - used to display the teams which the players has played for and his current team. A timeline effect is preferred to keep all things in chronological order, meaning different stints with one team are listed separately. (However, all teams are only linked the first reference.) The <nowiki></nowiki> text is included as a workaround, do not remove it. The generally accepted bullet point is *. Teams from other professional leagues (Canadian Football League, National Football League, etc.) are acceptable.
-
- Additionally, practice squad and offseason stints are also preferred to be represented, however they should be denoted with an asterisk following the year(s). When at least one practice squad or offseason stint is present in an infobox, the following note should be placed after the last team in the list:
:*Offseason and/or practice squad member only
-
- An example of a player's full list of teams is:
- *Offseason and/or practice squad member only
- status - Used to describe whether a player is on the active roster, practice squad, or a reserve list. Appropriate entries to this field should be Active, Practice Squad, Suspended, Injured Reserve, or any other reserve list.
- highlights - used to display career awards and highlights for the player. Wikilinks are acceptable. The <nowiki></nowiki> text is included as a workaround - do not remove it. The generally accepted bullet point is an asterisk (*). If a player does not have any notable achievements, it is advised that "No notable achievements" is manually written in the field so that the field remains in the event of future accomplishments.
-
- The standard for writing an achievement is to display the achievement, followed by the year earned in parentheses. Achievements go in chronological order, from earliest to most recent. Examples of how certain achievements would be written:
-
- statdate - Used in the heading for the selected statistics section to describe how current the statistics are. Do not wikilink entries in this field.
- statlabel# - Used to describe the statistic being entered, such as Touchdowns, Receiving yards, Games played, etc. Wikilink and pipe when appropriate. Up to six statistics can be entered by changing the number to 1 through 6, with each corresponding to the appropriate statvalue# entry.
- statvalue# - Used for the number a player has in a given statistic. Up to six statistics can be entered by changing the number to 1 through 6, with each corresponding to the appropriate statlabel# entry.
- afl / pfr / cbs / espn / si - used to link to an external link for the player's statics. ArenaFootball.com links are preferred. Only one site can be used at a time. Null fields can be removed from the box.
-
- "afl" links to the players' profile on ArenaFootball.com or
- "pfr" links to the players' profile on pro-football-reference.com or
- "cbs" links to the players' profile on sportsline.com or
- "espn" links to the players' profile on espn.com or
