"GIs"

I can't find out what "GIs" stands for, and I guess I'm not the only one. Best guess, the G stands for goal, so why not use that?

If it is necessesary, how can it be explained? --2003:EA:E704:9311:B463:F4AA:33A:DCCC (talk) 00:23, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's short for "Goals". If you hover your mouse over it, a tooltip is displayed showing an expansion of the term. Try hovering over these, which I've copied from the template code: Gls; Gls; Gls. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:29, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't work on MacBook btw... Giant Snowman 17:35, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Works on my MacBook Pro. Are MacBooks different in that regard? – Pee Jay 11:30, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Works on my MacBook Air. Will be a software/browser limitation. Seasider53 (talk) 12:32, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The tooltip is not visible on mobile, so that doesn’t help everyone. I am also confused about what “GIs” means. “Goals” would be much clearer. BenMathews (talk) 09:16, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any problem with writing it out like that. It's only two extra characters. – Pee Jay 20:23, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

College update parameter

Can we add a "college-update" parameter that goes at the bottom with the update date for the college stats like we have with the club stats and national team stats. RedPatch (talk) 01:46, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just update the club parameter. Giant Snowman 08:45, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

I suggest the addition of a field "Nationality", as defined by the legal bond between an individual and a State (UN definition). Frenchl (talk) 06:15, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fifth college year

While college is often four years long, players may have more years of eligibility. For instance, Kennedy Wesley had five years of eligibility at Stanford because of the NCAA's rules during COVID-19 and her registration as a graduate student in her fifth year. I would like to use this template to show all of her years, not just four of them. Thank you! Runner1928 (talk) 18:48, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
