Template:Cycling squad rider/doc

Usage

Cycling squad is a set of four templates that create a standardised cycling team squad list for use on the main cycling team article page. The four templates are:

• Template:Cycling squad start
• Template:Cycling squad rider
• Template:Cycling squad mid
• Template:Cycling squad end

The only one of these that has any parameters is {{Cycling squad rider}}.

Using the templates together

The templates create a list in two columns. Every list must start with {{Cycling squad start}}. Each rider needs a {{Cycling squad rider}} with parameters as set out below. The {{Cycling squad mid}} template marks the point where the list is split from the first column to the second. Finally, the list must end with {{Cycling squad end}} to close everything up.

Parameters of {{Cycling squad rider}}

{{Cycling squad rider |name= |nat= |birthdate= }}

• {{{name}}} - the rider's name wikilinked, with a piped link to a disambiguated name
• {{{nat}}} - the rider's UCI registered nationality, can either be the three letter code or full name. Do not wikilink
• {{{birthdate}}} - wikilinked birth date. Consider using {{birth date and age|year|month|date}} to enable the reader to quickly gain an insight into the average age of the squad

Style guide

Wikilinking

Rider names should be wikilinked, piped if necessary. Date of birth should not be linked. The use of {{birth date and age|year|month|date}} will show the date of birth and current age automatically and enable the reader to quickly gain an insight into the average age of the squad.

Example

{{Cycling squad start}}
{{Cycling squad rider|name=[[Thomas Dekker (cyclist)|Thomas Dekker]]|nat=Netherlands|birthdate={{birth date and age|1984|9|6}}}}
{{Cycling squad rider|name=[[Juan Antonio Flecha]]|nat=ESP|birthdate={{birth date and age|1977|9|17}}}}
{{Cycling squad rider|name=[[Óscar Freire]]|nat=Spain|birthdate={{birth date and age|1976|2|15}}}}
