Template:2016 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table/doc

Usage

This template is designed to collect information, which is used in several articles, in one location. The 2016 Major League Soccer season tables are shown on the overall season article, as well as the articles for each conference, if not other pages as well. This template should replace the need to update the same information on several articles.

In article

To add this table to an article, type {{2016 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table}}.

Display options

Smaller table

If a smaller displayed table is desired, the parameter |only_pld_pts= can be defined in the template call to display only the position, team, games played, and points columns. This display may be desired if displaying both conference tables side-by-side. Valid values of |only_pld_pts= to display a truncated table are 1, yes, y, true, and t. For example:

What you type	{{2016 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table|only_pld_pts=true}}
What you see	Pos Team Pld Pts 1 New York Red Bulls 34 57 2 New York City FC 34 54 3 Toronto FC 34 53 4 D.C. United 34 46 5 Montreal Impact 34 45 6 Philadelphia Union 34 42 7 New England Revolution 34 42 8 Orlando City SC 34 41 9 Columbus Crew SC 34 36 10 Chicago Fire 34 31 Source: MLS

Display on team articles

Smaller sections of the table can be placed in team articles |showteam= and |show_limit= parameters. Use the abbreviation for the team that is used in the code, e.g. DCU for D.C. United, and the number of teams you wish to display – note that even numbers will be increased to an odd number to show symmetry in the table. For example:

What you type	{{2016 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table|showteam=DCU|show_limit=5}}
What you see	Pos Team Pld W L T GF GA GD Pts Qualification 2 New York City FC 34 15 10 9 62 57 +5 54 MLS Cup Conference Semifinals 3 Toronto FC 34 14 9 11 51 39 +12 53 MLS Cup Knockout Round 4 D.C.
