Category:Teamnames Templates

This category contains Teamnames templates.

What do these templates do?
Teamnames templates work as a "dictionary" for the wiki to "look up" what some variables are when you use the team template. For example, if you write, the wiki knows that you're talking about Flipsid3 Tactics due to an entry in the template Teamnames/F.

How do they work?
Each template is its own  statement. When you use team, the wiki looks up your input in a template based on the first letter of your input and then executes the code after the, in this case, defining 4 variables which are used by team to display the information that you want it to.

What variables are defined?
Four variables are defined:
 * , the full name of the team
 * , the abbreviated name of the team (max 6-7 characters depending on how wide each character is)
 * , usually the full name of the team but if it's especially long, it will be slightly abbreviated - e.g. S Avengers instead of Supersonic Avengers
 * , the link of the team page. This is the same as  except in the case of two teams having the same name, but for the occasions when a disambiguated link is needed, it's a lot easier to have it defined for every team anyway.

What template do I put the code in?
Say you're doing the code for Team Orbit. Then you might want to be able to write  or. As noted above, the wiki looks at the template depending on the first letter of your INPUT. That means that you need to put:

|team orbit=

in Teamnames/T, and

|orbit=

in Teamnames/O.

Standard Images
Once a team has an entry in Teamnames, the wiki expects it to also have a "standard image." You can see examples of images here. As their description suggests, these images are extremely standardized.
 * All standard images must be exactly 60px wide by 25px top
 * All standard images must be  files
 * All standard images must be named EXACTLY . Note that there is NO space between the   and " ". For example, F3's standard logo is.

If you absolutely cannot find a team logo, and it must have a short name defined, then you may create a redirect from  to.

Square Images
Square images (such as the ones used by Scoreboard/Game and TeamRoster/Simple) require both an entry in the appropriate Teamnames template as well as an entry in the appropriate TeamImage template. See Category:TeamImage Templates for more information.
