Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The AthResult template is for usage on athletics and track and field athlete biographies. It must be used in conjunction with the AchievementTable template to work properly.

AthResult is a semi-automated, non-intrusive method of quickly inserting a particular athlete's performance at a major competition. It must always be substituted to allow for easy future reading and editing, and to reduce template recall overheads.

Usage

See Template:AchievementTable for basic usage of that template

The basic usage of the template is as follows: {{subst:AthResult|YEAR|COMPETITION|LOCATION|RESULT|GENDER|EVENT}}

The information appears in the template in roughly the same order as it appears when placed on a page. Once the substituted template is saved on to a page, the resulting entry will automatically become plain text, matching entries done in the usual manual style.

Location

The third parameter denotes the location of the competition. Typical usage is to link the host city followed by its country unlinked (e.g. [[Berlin]], Germany).

Result

The fourth parameter corresponds to the finishing position of the athlete at that event (e.g. 1st, 2nd, 9th). Medal colours are automatically added. Qualifying statements may also be added if desired, for example, "20th (heats)".

Gender

The fifth parameter denotes the gender of the competition in which the athlete is competing: either Men or Women. This parameter is used to generate links to event result articles when they are present.

Event

The sixth parameter denotes the specific athletic event in which the athlete is competing (e.g. 100 metres, shot put, decathlon, marathon). This should not be linked.

Example

The code listed below will produce the following table. The first entry demonstrates how to insert notes alongside the template. The Olympic and European entries demonstrate how event result articles are automatically linked. The Asian Games entry links to the larger "Athletics Results" page.

{| {{AchievementTable|Event=yes}}
|-
{{subst:AthResult|2003|MWG|[[Catania]], Italy|1st|Women|10,000 metres}}
|33:42.10
|-
{{subst:AthResult|2004|OG|[[Athens]], Greece|2nd|Men|Discus throw}}
|-
{{subst:AthResult|2006|IBC|[[Ponce, Puerto Rico]]|3rd|Women|100 metres}}
|-
{{subst:AthResult|2010|AG|[[Beijing]], China|4th|Men|Javelin throw}}
|-
{{subst:AthResult|2011|EIC|[[Paris]], France|5th|Women|3000 metres}}
|}

Year	Competition	Venue	Position	Event	Notes
2003	Military World Games	Catania, Italy	1st	10,000 metres	33:42.10
2004	Olympic Games	Athens, Greece	2nd	Discus throw
2006	Ibero-American Championships	Ponce, Puerto Rico	3rd	100 metres
2010	Asian Games	Beijing, China	4th	Javelin throw
2011	European Indoor Championships	Paris, France	5th	3000 metres

Fixing rowspan issues

If several entries refer to the same year then the rowspan parameter can be used. If omitted this defaults to 1 and will enter the year for a single line as normal. For example, the following code produces the following result:

{| {{AchievementTable}}
|-
{{subst:AthResult|2000|OG|[[Sydney]], Australia|1st|Men|200 metres|rowspan=3}}
|-
{{subst:AthResult|2000|OG|[[Sydney]], Australia|1st|Men|400 metres|rowspan=0}}
|-
{{subst:AthResult|2000|OG|[[Sydney]], Australia|1st|Men|800 metres|rowspan=0}}
|-
{{subst:AthResult|2004|OG|[[Athens]], Greece|1st|Men|1500 metres}}
|}

Year	Competition	Venue	Position	Notes
2000	Olympic Games	Sydney, Australia	1st	200 metres
	Olympic Games	Sydney, Australia	1st	400 metres
	Olympic Games	Sydney, Australia	1st	800 metres
2004	Olympic Games	Athens, Greece	1st	1500 metres

Known issues

Where a table has both "Event" and "Notes" columns, notes can be manually added by placing them after a vertical bar "|" on the line below the AthResult code.

For athletes who compete in just one event specifically (high jumpers for instance), this template will still generate the event name for each and every entry.
