Usage
Use this template to link to "NBA season" articles from a particular year. The first parameter is the starting year of the season. By default, the template displays text in the form "yyyy–yy"; except for the 1999–2000 season, which is in the form "yyyy–yyyy" to comply with MOS:YEAR and MOS:DATERANGE.
A second parameter may be used if only one year is to be displayed (does not work if nolink is passed in).
{{nbay|...}} is the other name of this template.
Named parameters
- app
- Text to be appended after the year, with a space in between.
For the parameters below, passing in any non-empty text will produce the same result, so as a matter of style, only pass in "y" (without quotes).
- nolink
- Text must not be linked.
- full
- Text must be in "yyyy–yyyy" format.
- trunc
- The 1999–2000 season is to be displayed as "1999–00" instead of "1999–2000".
- baa
- The link target should direct to a BAA season article.
