# வார்ப்புரு:கால்ப்பந்தாட்ட வீரர் 2/doc

This is a fork of with the club appearances split into individual attributes for accessibility reasons. The eventual goal is for this to be the default template.

## Parameters

All parameters are optional.  

; }: The commonly used name of the player. If this is omitted, it will be inferred from the title of the article.  
; }: The player's complete name.  
; }: A picture of the player, ideally on the pitch in the strip of his 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 markup, a size, and alt text. Do not use the "" or "" attributes.  
; }: A caption for the image.  
; }: The player's date of birth. A template (, ) should be used to add the date, but be sure to use the appropriate parameters to present the date in the same format as used in the text. The date should not be wikilinked.  
; }: The location of the player's birth.  
; }: The country of the player's birth.  
; }: The player's height in the units most common within the country he plays. *(see Units of measurement)*  
; }: The player's **most common** position (as a player). If a player is known for playing in multiple roles then the author should elect which is the most significant and explain the point more fully within the article.  
; }: The club for which the player currently plays, or is employed by. If the player now works in a non-playing role at the club, add this after the club in brackets. For retired players not employed by any club or federation, leave blank.  
; }: The shirt number of the player at his current club.  
; }, }... }: A list of youth clubs that the player has been a member of, one per attribute, earliest to latest.  
; }, }... }: A list of years that the player has been at each youth club, one per attribute, earliest to latest.  
; }, }... }: A list of years that the player has been contracted at each professional club, one per attribute, earliest to latest.  
; }, }... }: A list of professional clubs that the player has been contracted at, one per attribute, earliest to latest.  
; }, }... }: A list of appearances that the player has been awarded in **league competition** only for each professional club (note: Playoff matches are **not** counted as league matches by most statistical sources (e.g. Soccerbase and the Sky Sports (Rothmans) Football Yearbook, so they should not be included in this infobox), one per attribute, earliest to latest. If including a **total** number of caps, use } rather than faking it with a club called "total".  
; }, }... }: A goals that the player has been awarded in **league competition** only for each professional club (note: Playoff matches are **not** counted as league matches by most statistical sources (e.g. Soccerbase and the Sky Sports (Rothmans) Football Yearbook, so they should not be included in this infobox), one per attribute, earliest to latest. If including a **total** number of goals, use } rather than faking it with a club called "total".  
; }, }... }: A list of years that the player has been a participant in each national team, one per attribute, earliest to latest.  
; }, }... }: A list of international teams that the player has been a member of, including non-senior teams such as U21, one per attribute, earliest to latest.  
; }, }... }: A list of appearances that the player has been awarded in **all competitions and friendlies** for each national team, one per attribute, earliest to latest.  
; }, }... }: A list of goals that the player has been awarded in **all competitions and friendlies** for each national team, one per attribute, earliest to latest.  
; }, }... }: A list of clubs that the person has served with in the capacity of team manager. Please **do not** list positions other than team manager (such as assistant or coach positions, or director of football roles where this role is not considered managerial) unless that position is a significant part of the person's career; this will apply primarily to those with significant or perhaps primary experience in management. Clubs listed can be both local and national and should be restricted to those ordinarily considered notable in themselves.  
; }, }... }: A list of years to accompany the above clubs.  
; }: Olympic medal templates can be added here. See for a list of templates. *MedalTop* and *MedalBottom* are not needed.  
; }: A timestamp of the last time the player's infobox career statistics were updated (not needed if the player has retired).  
; }: A timestamp of the last time the player's infobox national statistics were updated (not needed for former players).

## 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 entry on linking, years should not be linked as they do not provide much benefit to the user.  

As per the the player's height should be in the units most common within the country he 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 (&amp;nbsp;) between the value and the unit symbol, for example <code>1.98&amp;nbsp;m</code> not <code>1.98m</code>. 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 template, which automatically converts units between formats and handles the presentation of units. In this case, use the <tt>|abbr=on</tt> flag to ensure that units are presented in their short forms.  

Some examples of correct usage:  
- 2.00&nbsp;m
- 5&nbsp;ft&nbsp;10&nbsp;in (1.78&nbsp;m)
- 1.78&nbsp;m (5&nbsp;ft&nbsp;10&nbsp;in)

and using :  

- <tt></tt> produces
- <tt></tt> produces

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