Speedway

Hi, I noticed you are the creator of Template:Infobox Speedway team and I've been playing around with the idea a little to get things to hide etc. Please have a look at my mockup on User:Foxhill/content to add/Test and the example of it used on User:Foxhill/content to add/sandbox. Any comments would be welcome.

Also, I have created the page for the Speedway Elite League and Template:Speedway Elite League to go with it. As I'm not a follower of Speedway can I ask you to have a look at both and make sure they are correct?

Many thanks - Foxhill 03:13, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Speedway Template

I've knocked one up quickly at User:Foxhill/content to add/Test3 which is basically the same kind as the football one but a bit more user friendly.

e.g. you can use it as a standalone inclusion such as

or call it as a template like

You'll notice it's a little more configurable than the other variant, but if I've made a huge mistake somewhere - shout.

If everything is OK then I'll move it into template space later on today. Foxhill 02:35, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Adding year, you can already do this with the squadtitle = parameter in the template, i.e.

{{User:Foxhill/content to add/Test3
 | bgcolor = #0000FF
 | bordercolor = yellow
 | textcolor = yellow
 | teamname = Sheffield Tigers
 | squadtitle = 2007 riders
 | name1 = [[Ricky Ashworth|Ricky Ashworth]]
 | name2 = [[Ben Wilson (speedway rider)|Ben Wilson]]
 | name3 = [[Andre Compton|Andre Compton]] (c)
 | name4 = [[James Birkinshaw|James Birkinshaw]]
 | name5 = [[Joel Parsons|Joel Parsons]]
 | name6 = [[Paul Cooper (speedway rider)|Paul Cooper]]
 | name7 = [[James Cockle (speedway rider)|James Cockle]]
 | managername = [[Reg Wilson|Reg Wilson]]
 }}

gives

I'll also move this from my test space into {{Speedway squad}} in a minute - Foxhill 12:59, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

National team userbox

You might be interested to know i'v been playing around with the Infobox Speedway team and created Template:Infobox Speedway national team. I'v also started off a Great Britain speedway team page but it needs a bit more content! Joe p15 14:00, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
