Paralympics

[edit]

The Paralympics can be displayed using the season and type parameter from 1960 for the Summer edition and from 1976 for the Winter edition

The Summer Paralympics can be displayed without specifying the season for 1960 to 1972, and both Winter and Summer Paralympics can be displayed without the season from 1994 onwards.

Youth Olympics

[edit]

The Youth Olympics can be displayed using the type parameter from 2010 for the Summer Youth Olympics and from 2012 for the Winter Youth Olympics.

The Youth Olympics can also be displayed by only using the season parameter as they run on an opposite schedule to the main Olympic and Paralympic games

Special Cases

[edit]

The 1906 Intercalated Games can be displayed with 1906.

The year 2021 is valid to display the delayed 2020 Olympics and Paralympics

Canceled Games

[edit]

The template does not have display options for 1916, 1940, or 1944 for the Summer and Winter Olympics and 2022 for the Summer Youth Olympics as those games were canceled.
