message: How about standardizing all those templates on the bottom of most of the football related articles? I've thought about this for a while, and my proposition is pretty simple, the bottom page template boxes are started with a  template, and ended with a  template. All other templates, for national leagues, international competitions, club history series, and anything other, should then be modified so that they can be placed between the start and end tags to produce a good looking infobox. An example of the written code could look something like this:
 




And it would produce this result. See the 1-5 links on the page for examples on how , , ,  and  could look like. The whole meaning of this would be a system where any infobox could be placed on any page without having to have them as separate boxes, or rewriting the templates, meaning that in theory it should be simple to group into one infobox the listing of the teams in the FA Premier League with the listing of the Asian football federations and the Man Utd infobox, together with standard links for Swedish football.
Standard colours for header rows, standard methods for listing teams, and other standardizations should also be introduced to make these boxes look good when combining several different pieces. Comments? -- Elisson • Talk 19:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  Great! I've spent this evening modifying some 500 pages to go with the standard. I've changed the ,  and  templates, the templates for national teams and national associations for all six confederations, and a few more. I think these were the thoughest to get through, so even though there are several dozens of templates left, they should be easier to handle as they aren't scattered all over Wikipedia, which means you olny need to modify a few pages at a time (which was not the case with the International football template ;) ). -- Elisson • Talk 22:00, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Help please!
I'm trying to add national team squads for the countries competing in this years Asian Cup finals.  I'm using the template which is used for the World Cup squads but I'm running into problems with the players numbers.  The World Cup squads are required to number their players sequentially (ie 1-23).  However the same rules don't apply for the Asian Cup.  I created Australia fine as they have followed the 1-23 principal but some of the other teams miss lower numbers and issue their players with others (ie Oman has no 16, 19, 22 or 23, but they have 24, 25, 26 & 28).  But if I skip past the missing numbers, the template won't show the players beyond number 23.
Can anyone please help me get past this problem?  I could have used the standard club template, however I chose to use the national team template because the national team's flags are included automatically.Nicko edo...TALK... 00:24, 13 July 2007
I think you shouldn't make more of the templates. The discussion has been made before here and a lot of continental championship templates are deleted. I was not involved in the discussion before but I'm pretty sure that they will nominate your template for deletion soon as they only keeping the world cup squad templates. You can also take a look at User:Neier/Soccer templates for deletion discussion archive. Martin tamb 15:31, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Haven't been able to find one in the categories of templates, and that's the new format for the Championship Stage of the 2015 J1 League this year.  The current bracket being used is for single leg only.  Can someone clever make a new template for this, or have knowledge of some other competition where its been used before ?
