Template:Cycling squad rider/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

Cycling squad is a set of four templates that create a standardised cycling team squad list for use on the main cycling team article page. The four templates are:

The only one of these that has any parameters is {{Cycling squad rider}}.

Using the templates together

[edit]

The templates create a list in two columns. Every list must start with {{Cycling squad start}}. Each rider needs a {{Cycling squad rider}} with parameters as set out below. The {{Cycling squad mid}} template marks the point where the list is split from the first column to the second. Finally, the list must end with {{Cycling squad end}} to close everything up.

Parameters of {{Cycling squad rider}}

[edit]
{{Cycling squad rider |name= |nat= |birthdate= }}
  • {{{name}}} - the rider's name wikilinked, with a piped link to a disambiguated name
  • {{{nat}}} - the rider's UCI registered nationality, can either be the three letter code or full name. Do not wikilink
  • {{{birthdate}}} - wikilinked birth date. Consider using {{birth date and age|year|month|date}} to enable the reader to quickly gain an insight into the average age of the squad

Style guide

[edit]

Wikilinking

[edit]

Rider names should be wikilinked, piped if necessary. Date of birth should not be linked. The use of {{birth date and age|year|month|date}} will show the date of birth and current age automatically and enable the reader to quickly gain an insight into the average age of the squad.

Example

[edit]
{{Cycling squad start}}
{{Cycling squad rider|name=[[Thomas Dekker (cyclist)|Thomas Dekker]]|nat=Netherlands|birthdate={{birth date and age|1984|9|6}}}}
{{Cycling squad rider|name=[[Juan Antonio Flecha]]|nat=ESP|birthdate={{birth date and age|1977|9|17}}}}
{{Cycling squad rider|name=[[Óscar Freire]]|nat=Spain|birthdate={{birth date and age|1976|2|15}}}}
{{Cycling squad mid}}
