The templates are used to create a list of team rosters of the professional basketball teams:

Documentation

Place this at the start of each roster.

Apply this template ONLY to each and every roster member.

pos = Basketball position. Use either C, G, F, PG, SG, and SF
pos2 = Use this for secondary position of the player (i.e. if a player is a combo guard, use "PG" for "pos" and "SG" for "pos2"; you can also simply use "G" in "pos" without using "pos2".
no = Jersey number.
country = Country of the player. You can use any convention (IOC, ISO, full name).
name = Name of the player.
note = Notes such as team captain, injured, rookie, etc.
school = College or school of the player.

Add this if you'd want to have 2 columns.

headcoach = Name of the head coach.
country = Country of the head coach. You can use any convention (IOC, ISO, full name).
assistants = Assistant coach/es. You can prefix {{flagicon}} before each name. (Optional)
legend = The letters or symbols used in the roster list, such as (C) for captain, for injured players, etc.
otherlabel = Add this for other staff members such as govenor, general manager, etc. This will display the position of the person/s.
others = The name/s of the person/s holding the position stated at "otherlabel".
teamname = Name of the team. If left blank, it'll display the article name.

Add this at the end of each roster.

You know if you hadn't added the two-column feature it would be easy to make these tables sortable. — CharlotteWebb 02:15, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno, I just emulated the football squad templates. If there's a way it could be done without screwing up pages it'll be great. Besides I think it may work if there's only one column. --Howard the Duck 05:53, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the reason two columns would suck is because they would sort separately rather than as a whole. Also I was thinking about adding height and weight to the rows, which would make them wider and less conducive to a two-column format. — CharlotteWebb 06:42, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I actually tried adding the sortable element but it'll screw up with {{Hoops team footer}}. --Howard the Duck 06:54, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That would work better as a separate table below the actual roster, I think. Or to the right, but not part of the areas being sorted. — CharlotteWebb 06:57, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tried using {{end box}} and {{start box}} right after {{Hoops team footer}} but it didn't screw up, it just needs a little formatting to make it work. However I'm concerned if the roster list is very long, it'll leave a lot of white space at the right side of the monitor, and it can be fixed by having 2 columns (although I have a big monitor so I won't know the case for smaller ones). How about having a fixed width for one column but it automatically goes to the 48%-1%-48% convention when it's split? --Howard the Duck 07:08, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would love to see the following optional parameters

Would it be possible to add the following parameters?

dob date of birth
height_ft height feet
height_in height (inches)
height_m height (meters)
weight_lbs weight (pounds)
weight_kg weight (kilograms)

there are conversion templates to do height and weight. there is a very poorly named template out there doing something very similar to this one: {{Player2}}. Check it out. Rolando 05:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can it between player and school... but I'm too lazy to do that and it might screw up... --Howard the Duck 05:59, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I will give it a shot. I will need to make some additional parameters in the header template to show the columns, and then show them. I have confidence. Let me know how I break it! :-) Rolando 17:23, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh. What fun. There is now too much white space and I can't figure it out. If you want, you can revert this. I do think the changes to {{Hoops team footer}} are improvements. They make it more flexible. Rolando 01:52, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It took me hours to figure this one out, good luck on this. --Howard the Duck 02:14, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The template is screwed up. However, I'm too dumb on how to fix it. The gaps should be removed so that they'll stretch vertically for only 100 pixels. --Howard the Duck 13:10, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I think it is good now. Let me know if/where there are problems, and I will try to address them. Thanks! Rolando 17:13, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's largely fixed but I don't why FIBA Asia Championship 2007 squads is still screwed up... --Howard the Duck 17:16, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
