வார்ப்புரு:கால்ப்பந்தாட்ட வீரர் 2/doc

{{கால்ப்பந்தாட்ட வீரர் 2}} is intended to provide a quick overview of a football player's or manager's details to enable a reader to extract the most oft-needed information without trawling through the article proper.

This is a fork of {{கால்ப்பந்தாட்ட வீரர் 2}} with the club appearances split into individual attributes for accessibility reasons. The eventual goal is for this to be the default template.

Usage

Note: all the field names ending in 1 should be repeated for each team, e.g. youthyears1 and youthclubs1 should be followed by youthyears2 and youthclubs2 and so on, as needed.
For current players {{கால்ப்பந்தாட்ட வீரர் 2 | playername = | image = | caption = | fullname = | dateofbirth = | cityofbirth = | countryofbirth = | height = | position = | currentclub = | clubnumber = | youthyears1 = | youthclubs1 = | years1 = | clubs1 = | caps1 = | goals1 = | totalcaps = | totalgoals = | nationalyears1 = | nationalteam1 = | nationalcaps1 = | nationalgoals1 = | medaltemplates = | club-update = | nationalteam-update = }}	For former players {{கால்ப்பந்தாட்ட வீரர் 2 | playername = | image = | caption = | fullname = | dateofbirth = | cityofbirth = | countryofbirth = | dateofdeath = | cityofdeath = | countryofdeath = | height = | position = | youthyears1 = | youthclubs1 = | years1 = | clubs1 = | caps1 = | goals1 = | totalcaps = | totalgoals = | nationalyears1 = | nationalteam1 = | nationalcaps1 = | nationalgoals1 = | medaltemplates = }}

Style guide

Try to always consider that an infobox exists to support an article and provide a quick synopsis of important facts. This becomes vital when considering that the amount of space available within an infobox is significantly less than that available outside of it.

As per the manual of style entry on linking, years should not be linked as they do not provide much benefit to the user.

As per the manual of style the player's height should be in the units most common within the country he plays. Units should be abbreviated in the infobox and spelt out in the article text. Use standard abbreviations when using symbols such as metre is m, centimetre is cm, inch is in (not " or ″), foot is ft (not ' or ′). Put a non-breaking space ( ) between the value and the unit symbol, for example 1.98 m not 1.98m. Do not append an s for plurals of unit abbreviations. For example, kg, in, yd, lb not kgs, ins, yds, lbs.

Ideally, measurements should be presented using the {{convert}} template, which automatically converts units between formats and handles the presentation of units. In this case, use the |abbr=on flag to ensure that units are presented in their short forms.

Some examples of correct usage:

• 2.00 m
• 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m)
• 1.78 m (5 ft 10 in)

and using {{convert}}:

• {{convert|5|ft|10|in|abbr=on}} produces 5 அடி 10 அங் (1.78 m)
• {{convert|1.78|m|abbr=on}} produces 1.78 m (5 அடி 10 அங்)

If providing a total row for goals scored, enter the Total in a new years column - do not add it in the clubs column.

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book or database. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

Date-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {{birth date}}, or {{birth date and age}} are used in the infobox. (Do not use these if the date is before 1583).

To include a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

• adr
• agent
• bday
• birthplace
• category
• country-name
• deathdate
• deathplace
• extended-address
• family-name
• fn (required)
• given-name
• honorific-prefix
• honorific-suffix
• label
• locality
• n
• nickname
• note
• org
• role
• url
• vcard

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
