This is just a short note, to list all the other related alternative templates for showing a current/specific squad:

The 3 versions above, currently also exist in a parallel variant called "recent", to show the "recent squad" of a national team with inclusion of a special extra coloumn to also note the "latest match". If you visit the links listed above, you will also find the related examples of the 3 different "recent squad" versions. As a general rule of thumb, the goal should be only to have as few templates in use as possible. However, there was a need to create the newest version 2 and version 3 of the template, for those Nations where the national FA also have chosen to post the exact field position the selected player is supposed to play (because when this info is included by the box, there was a "layout" call, to convert the long "Date of Birth" coloumn into a much shorter "Age" column). In example, version 3 of the template has now been implemented by the Denmark national football team article, to also show the exact field position of each player.

Bottom border

edit

Hello, I would like to recommend changing the template so that the resulting table has a bottom border line. This is because all of the other tables (e.g., coaching history, most capped players, etc.) typically also have a bottom border line. This would present a more consistent style.

As far as I see, this table does in fact have a border at the bottom, at least if it is used correctly (like here). Could you show an article where this does not occur? –Sygmoral (talk) 07:20, 10 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Sygmoral, thank you for kindly helping on this. I am not seeing the bottom border at the linked page, or at any national football team page (I have checked several). Perhaps the problem is that I am using a somewhat dated Macintosh? 173.50.127.215 (talk) 12:12, 10 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
