সাঁচ:Infobox football biography/doc

{{Infobox football biography}} is intended to provide a quick overview of an association football player's or manager's details to enable a reader to extract the most oft-needed information without trawling through the article proper.

This is a replacement for {{Infobox football biography/old}} (which is now deprecated, and has been removed), with the club appearances split into individual attributes for accessibility reasons.

{{{image}}}

A picture of the player, ideally on the pitch in the strip of his or her most recent team (or the team the player is most well-known for, in the case of retirees). Use the full image syntax, including the [[File:]] markup, a size, and alt text. Do not use the "thumb" or "frame" attributes.

{{{caption}}}

A caption for the image.

{{{birth_date}}}

{{{birth_place}}}

The location of the player's birth.

{{{height}}}

The player's height in the units most common within the country he or she plays. (see Units of measurement)

{{{position}}}

The player's most common position or positions. If a player is known for playing in multiple roles then explain the point more fully within the article.

If including a total number of caps, use {{{totalcaps}}} rather than faking it with a club called "total".

Clubs listed can be both local and national and should be restricted to those ordinarily considered notable in themselves.

{{{manageryears1}}}, {{{manageryears2}}}... {{{manageryears30}}}

A list of years to accompany the above clubs.

{{{medaltemplates}}}

Honours can be added here using the templates {{MedalTeam}}, {{MedalW}}, {{MedalRU}}, and {{Medal3rd}}. These work in much the same way as the Olympic medal templates.

Style guide

Try to always consider that an infobox exists to support an article and provide a quick synopsis of important facts. This becomes vital when considering that the amount of space available within an infobox is significantly less than that available outside of it.

As per the manual of style entry on linking, years should not be linked as they do not provide much benefit to the user.

Do not add flag icons to the birth_place, death_place, club, national team or other fields. See: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (flags).

As per the manual of style the player's height should be in the units most common in the country in which he or she plays. Units should be abbreviated in the infobox and spelt out in the article text. Use standard abbreviations when using symbols such as metre is m, centimetre is cm, inch is in (not " or ″), foot is ft (not ' or ′). Put a non-breaking space ( ) between the value and the unit symbol, for example 1.98 m not 1.98m. Do not append an s for plurals of unit abbreviations. For example, kg, in, yd, lb not kgs, ins, yds, lbs.

Ideally, measurements should be presented using the {{convert}} template, which automatically converts units between formats and handles the presentation of units. In this case, use the |abbr=on flag to ensure that units are presented in their short forms.

Some examples of correct usage:

• 2.00 m
• 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m)
• 1.78 m (5 ft 10 in)

and using {{convert}}:

• {{convert|5|ft|10|in|abbr=on}} produces 5 ফুট 10 ইঞ্চি (1.8 মিটাৰ)
• {{convert|1.78|m|abbr=on}} produces 1.78 মিটাৰ (U=ft}})

If providing a total row for goals scored, enter the Total in a new years column - do not add it in the clubs column.

Microformats

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Date-of-birth ("bday") parameters will only be included in the microformat if {{Birth date}} or {{Birth date and age}} are used in the infobox.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

• adr
• bday
• county-name
• fn (required)
• honorific-prefix
• honorific-suffix
• label
• locality
• nickname
• note
• org
• role
• vcard
