Template talk:Standings table start

Edit request

I don't see the need to hide the template/output on the actual {{Template:Standings Table Start}} page with the includeonly tags. Why not just make the code (without the extra nowiki and br tags, and with the {doc} template not commented out, in the internal code on this page) look like this (basically with both includeonly tags removed, and a two-char table closer added to the noinclude section):

{| class="infobox" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:25em; text-align:center; font-size:88%; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em 1em"
|-
| colspan="99" style="background:#CCCCCC; font:#000000" | '''{{#if:{{{2|}}}|[[{{{2|}}}|{{{1|}}}]]|{{{1}}}}}'''
|-
! align="left" width="50%"| {{navbar|{{{1}}}|mini=1|nodiv=1}} !! {{#if:{{{div-standings|}}}|{{Standings Table Start/colspan|ties={{{ties|}}}|pct={{{pct|}}}}} width="1%" {{!}} {{tooltip|Div|Division record}} !!   !!   !!|}} {{Standings Table Start/colspan|ties={{{ties|}}}|pct={{{pct|}}}}} width="1%" {{!}} {{tooltip|Conf|Conference record}} !!   !!   !! {{Standings Table Start/colspan|ties={{{ties|}}}|pct={{{pct|}}}}} width="1%" | Overall
|-
!align="left"| <u>Team</u> !! {{#if:{{{div-standings|}}}|{{Standings Table Start/colheader|ties={{{ties|}}}|pct={{{pct|}}} }} !!   !!   !!}}{{Standings Table Start/colheader|ties={{{ties|}}}|pct={{{pct|}}} }} !!   !!   !!{{Standings Table Start/colheader|ties={{{ties|}}}|pct={{{pct|}}} }}<noinclude>
|}
{{documentation}}
<!-- Add cats and interwikis to the /doc subpage, not here! -->
</noinclude>


So editors can see:

{{{1}}}
	Conf							Overall
Team		W		L					W		L

I think it would also be better if "Overall"->"{{tooltip|Overall|Overall record}}". It would make the underlining less uneven, as well as explicitly state information that is otherwise just implied (and mostly just to people very familiar with sports, especially US college sports). 71.197.244.119 (talk) 01:09, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
