Template:Speedway squad/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Usage

{{Speedway squad/doc}} is designed to be used within squad list templates (typically placed at the bottom of a player page) in order to make editing and standardisation easier. If you want to use this template first set up a new template for your squad, typically called something like Template:(team name) squad. For an example of the template in use see Template:Sheffield speedway team.

The full blank template is as below -

{{Speedway squad
 | bgcolor = 
 | bordercolor = 
 | textcolor =
 | teamname =
 | alttitle =
 | squadtitle =
 | name1 =
 | name2 =
 | name3 =
 | name4 =
 | name5 =
 | name6 =
 | name7 =
 | name8 =
 | managername =
 | managertitle =
 }}

[edit] Parameters

• bgcolor: Color of the header background. Can be either a name (for example red) or in hexadecimal (for example #ff0000)
• textcolor: Color of the header text. Can be either a name or in hexadecimal
• bordercolor: Color of the header border. Can be either a name or in hexadecimal
• teamname: Name of the team. Use the name of the team's article.

• squadtitle:(optional): Enter this parameter to change the title of the box to something other than Current squad.
• name: Typically a direct or Piped link to the person's article on Wikipedia.
  For people with a space in their name, such as Jason Crump, the use of a piped link with   instead of a space ensures that the name will appear on one line:
  • [[Jason Crump]] becomes [[Jason Crump|Jason Crump]].. See Non-breaking space for further details.
    All names are optional just in case the squad is not complete, it will allow you to leave out an entry if you so wish.
• managername:(optional) Gives you the ability to add a Team manager to the squad if desired
