New template (under construction)[edit]
AthleteTimeline is used to summarise the seasons or major events of an athlete's or team's career or participation in a regular series of events, which are documented elsewhere on Wikipedia.
Usage[edit]
The template may be used by using the following basic format
{{User:Bamkin/AthleteTimeline
| sportSeries =
| debutYear =
| result1
| result2
| result3
...
| retired =
}}
Parameters[edit]
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sportSeries | yes | Defines the sport series or series of athletic events.
The parameter and capitalisation must match the Wikipedia pages for that series e.g. e.g. |
| debutYear | yes | The year of the athlete's first full or half season
e.g. |
| athleteName | no | The name of the athlete as it should display in the template output
e.g. If the parameter is blank, no name or link to the athlete page is displayed |
| athletePage | no | The name of the Wikipedia page on this athlete
The default is the |
| result1 | yes | Results are expressed as a series of special words:
(All special words begin with a capital letter) |
| result2,
result3 ... result25 |
no | Formatting is the same as result1. Each result is separate by a vertical bar (i.e. as a separate parameter).
For example: HalfSeason|Season|P3|P2|P1|P1|Break|Break|Season|P3 |
| currentSeason | no | If the athlete or sportsperson is competing in a current season or event, special words are used
If used, the following parameter should be |
