Usage

Current roster

This section is an excerpt from Template:Sports roster/doc § WNBA usage.[edit]

The standard usage for a WNBA roster starts by creating a main roster template, which will contain the list of players, coaches, and trainers. To demonstrate the usage, here is the source code for Template:Washington Mystics roster as of May 19, 2020.

{{sports roster
| template_name = Washington Mystics roster

Since the value for |format= is not specified, it shows the default detailed table view of the roster. Now, the source code for Template:Washington Mystics roster is very simple, since it just transcludes Template:Washington Mystics roster with a different value for |format=

{{Indiana Fever roster|footer|state={{{state|autocollapse}}}}}
