Template talk:MedalSummary

Usage[edit]

This template is intended to standardize the appearance of the small summary table found near the top of most "Country at the xxx Olympics" articles. (As an aside, my opinion is that only countries that have a non-zero total for a specific Games should use have this table on the page. An empty table may add some colour to the page, but doesn't add enough value to warrant its inclusion).

Form[edit]

{{MedalSummary
|gamesyear=
|gamesloc=
|NOC=
|flag=
|gold=
|silver=
|bronze=
|total=
}}

Talk[edit]

I really like what you've done with this template, and I think it will really help on the pages. The only thing I dislike are those silly icons for the medals. I think they are ridiculous and it would look a lot cleaner with them gone. Sue Anne 18:54, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gone! I didn't like them either, but I thought that's what the unofficial standard was. Thanks for the vote of confidence, Andrwsc 04:11, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
