Template talk:OlympicEventRow

Usage

This template is designed to be used on Olympic-related tables, possessing an {{OlympicYearHeader}}-derived header, which display the historical evolution of events of a specific sport at the Summer or Winter Olympics. It creates an unique table row where the event name and the years it featured on the Olympic programme can be input as parameter values, saving time and preventing complicated table formating problems.

The template code is developed so that:

1. Cells corresponding to a sport's Olympic non-competing years appear shaded in gray;
2. Cells corresponding to years where an event was not part of the sport's programme appear blanked;
