Template:OGMedalList/doc

The OGMedalList template is designed to provide a simplified way of entering various year's Olympic medallists in medal tables on Olympic list articles.

Usage

This template has seventeen possible input fields:

{{OGMedalList|sport=|year=|place=|sex=|event=|g=|gn=|s=|sn=|b=|bn=|g2=|g2n=|s2=|s2n=|b2=|b2n=}}

• The sport field is for the relevant overall Olympic sport for the event (e.g. "Athletics" for the 100 metres – see for example Athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Men's 100 metres)

• The year field is for the relevant Olympic year (e.g. 2012 Summer Olympics = "2012")

• The place field is for the relevant Olympic host (e.g. 2012 Summer Olympics = "London"). This field is optional as a label – if omitted only the year will be displayed in the Olympics link.

• The sex field clarifies the sex of the competition and must be either "Men" or "Women". It is used to generate the event's article link.

• The event field specifies the given Olympic competition (e.g. 100 metres). It is used to generate the event's article link.

• The remaining twelve fields are for listing the medalling athletes.
  • The field names denote the medal (g, s or b = gold, silver or bronze) and the plain article title should be inserted here. **The corresponding "n" fields (gn, sn, bn) represent the nation to the corresponding athlete and the three-letter IOC code should be inserted here.
  • In the event of shared medals, the 2 fields (g2, g2n, s2, s2n, b2, b2n) can be used to insert the athlete name and nation of those who shared the podium.

• NB: When inserting the athlete's name, the full page name must be given in plain text with no wikilinks or piped links. The relevant name will appear without disambiguators (see example below with Thomas Burke (athlete)).

Example

The below code will produce the following outcome:

{| {{MedalistTable}}
