Participants

General strategy and standardization

If you wish to use an infobox, consider Template:Infobox Figure skater, which works well for many skaters--see Sarah Hughes and Shizuka Arakawa for examples.

Olympic medal information also has a template: Template:MedalTop.

Articles on skaters with long careers or other irregularities may require something else (see Michelle Kwan). Feel free to experiment or add to the templates as necessary.

Competitions: See Template:Infobox Figure Skating Competition CoP and Template:Infobox Figure Skating Competition 6.0.
