This template is used on
many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's
/sandbox or
/testcases subpages, or in your own
user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the
talk page before implementing them.
For articles about an individual team during a season; not to be confused with {{Infobox NFL}}, which is for the article about a season as a whole.
Usage
{{Infobox NFL season| team =| year =| record =| division_place =| conference place =| league place =| owner =| president =| coach =| general manager =| stadium =| playoffs =| pro bowlers =| AP All-pros =| All-AFL =| AFL allstars =| MVP =| ROY =| uniform =}}
Parameters
Mandatory
These fields will be shown regardless of whether a value is given
team
The franchise name this article describes. This parameter will automatically code the color of the infobox. This should generally match the title of the team's Wikipedia article.
year
The year of the season this article describes.
record
The record the franchise had this season in win-lost
division place
The place that the franchise had within their division. The division name ought to be wikified if there is an article for it.
coach
The name of the head coach of the franchise for this season. The head coach's name ought to be wikified if there is an article.
stadium
The name of the stadium that the franchise played their home games at during this season. The stadium name ought to be wikified.
playoffs
The playoff game(s) that the franchise played during this season. It should be '''W''' or '''L''' followed by Wild Card and/or Divisional and/or Conference and/or Super Bowl ?, where the ? is the Roman numeral of the Super Bowl, or NFL Championship. The Super Bowl and the NFL Championship should be wikified to the correct article and if more than one playoff game was played enter a <br/> after each game played. If the franchise did not play in the postseason enter "did not qualify".
Optional
These fields will not be shown if the parameter is omitted or if no value is given
owner
The majority owner or owners for the franchise during the season. The owner(s) name(s) ought to be wikified if there is an article.
president
The team president for the franchise during the season. The president's name ought to be wikified if there is an article.
general manager
The general manager for the franchise during the season. The GM's name ought to be wikified if there is an article.
conference place
The place that the franchise had within their conference. The conference name ought to be wikified.
local radio
The broadcast radio flagship(s) during the season.
pro bowlers
Players who were selected to play in the NFL
Pro Bowl. The Pro Bowl year is always the following year of the season.
If more than one or two players are listed, consider using a
Template:Collapsible list, for example:
| pro bowlers = {{Collapsible list|title = 3
|1 = ILB [[James Farrior]]|2 = OLB [[James Harrison (American football)|James Harrison]]|3 = SS [[Troy Polamalu]]}}
AP All-pros
Players who were selected to the Associated Press
All-Pro team. As with Pro Bowlers, consider using a collapsible list (see example above) if more than a couple of players are listed.
All-AFL
Players who were selected to the Associated Press
All-AFL team. As with AP All-pros, consider using a collapsible list (see example above) if more than a couple of players are listed.
AFL allstars
Players who were selected to play in the AFL All-Star Game (1960–1970).
MVP
The player selected as the team Most Valuable Player.
ROY
The player selected as the team Rookie of the Year.
MOP, MOC, MOR
For CFL players selected as their teams' nominees.
uniform
Used just like the parameter in
Template:NFL team. Makes a new infobox section with a uniform image, the name of which is used for the parameter.
shortnavlink
Defines what will be displayed on the link to (generally) the "List of <Team> seasons" article. If this parameter is not defined the link will default to either "<Team> seasons" (e.g.
Dallas Cowboys seasons) or to "<Team>" depending on whether a "List of <Team> seasons" article exists.
previous
Rarely necessary. The franchise's previous season (-1) is automatically linked without using this parameter. It should only be included to override when the franchise had a break in their season chronology and/or changed names, where the automatic link would point to the wrong article.
next
Rarely necessary. The franchise's next season (+1) is automatically linked without using this parameter. It should only be included to override when the franchise had a break in their season chronology and/or changed names, where the automatic link would point to the wrong article.
teamdisplay
Rarely necessary. This parameter is used only in cases where the "team" parameter contains some sort of disambiguation that you don't want to be displayed in the infobox. (see e.g.
1939 Pittsburgh Pirates (NFL) season)
no_prevseason
Rarely used. This parameter should be set to "true" on any article covering a team's inaugural season.
no_nextseason
Rarely used. This parameter should be set to "true" on any article covering the final season of a team that has folded.
no_seasonslist
Rarely used. This parameter if set to "true" allows one to suppress the display of the "List of <Team> seasons" link which normally appears between the links to the next and previous season articles. This can be useful in cases where a team has a very short existence.
alternatenav
Rarely used. This allows one to completely bypass the logic that defines the previous/next seasons navigation. This is useful primarily at unusual junctions for a franchise where the default logic doesn't work well. A good example of the use of this parameter is
1950 Hamilton Tiger-Cats season.
Deprecated
teamcolor
This was used in conjunction with
Template:Gridiron primary color,
Template:Gridiron secondary color,
Template:Gridiron alt primary color, and
Template:Gridiron alt secondary color in cases when a different color scheme is needed from the current one (i.e. for historical season infoboxes). The color templates have since been re-written to use the year parameter to determine the historically-appropriate color scheme, so this parameter was removed here. If you see an implementation of this template using this parameter, please know that it can (and should) be removed.
Microformat
The
HTML mark-up produced by this template includes an
hCard microformat that makes an organization's details readily
parsable by computer programs. This aids tasks such as the cataloguing of articles and maintenance of databases. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please visit
