Template:Infobox professional bowler/doc

Template:Infobox professional bowler has a very specific use: for individuals who are members of a professional league, such as the Japan Professional Bowling Association, Ladies Bowling Organization, etc. Other non-professional bowlers should not use this template - as it contains fields that normally do not pertain to a non-professional.

It is best to add the template at the very beginning of an article.

Parameters

General information

This template accepts all parameters accepted by {{Infobox sportsperson}}, see here for a complete list. Common parameters include:

name

The (romanized) name of the bowler. Use the Wikipedia naming conventions (ex: for Japanese names, it should be first name followed by the surname.)

image

The name of the image file on Wikipedia or other MediaWiki project. All other parameters for the image (pixel size, framing, etc.) are already fixed into the infobox.

image_size

alt

caption

logogram

The type of logogram used for the bowler's name. Examples: kanji, hangul, hanja, simplified/traditional Chinese, etc.

logogramname

The name of the bowler written using the logogram format mentioned in logogram.

spacedtype

The furigana method used the spaced parameter. It would be either "Spaced hiragana" or "Spaced katakana".

spaced

Meant to be used more for Japanese names. A more simplified logogram method of writing the bowler's name. Can be written using hiragana or katakana.

nationality

birth_date

The date the bowler was born. Enter it using {{Birth date and age}}, as {{Birth date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|mf=yes}}. The month should be in numerical format (ex: January=01, February=02, etc.)

For living people supply only the year unless the exact date is already WIDELY published, as per WP:DOB. Treat such cases as if only the year is known, so use {{birth year and age}} ({{birth year and age|YYYY}}) or a similar option.

birth_place

death_date

The date the bowler died. Use {{Death date and age}}.

death_place

years_active

height

The height of the bowler. Apply in meters using {{convert|m=height in meters}}.

website

Bowling information

affiliation

The association in which the bowler is a member. This could be the JPBA, LBO, etc.

license

The professional license number assigned to the bowler. All professionals and associates have this number.

classno

The graduating class number of the association. The JPBA and LBO uses this number instead of the year the bowler "passed" and was accepted.

rookieyear

The year the bowler joined the association.

hand

The bowler's dominant hand, i.e. the hand used to throw the bowling ball the most. Although one can actually use both hands when bowling, this is the hand that has its fingers go into the bowling ball.

championships

Also known as simply "wins", this is the total number of tournament wins credited to the bowler. Report only the total wins published by the JPBA.

300games

The number of 300 games rolled by the bowler. This number should be what the JPBA publishes. If the bowler has never rolled a 300 game, leave this field blank, and instead use the highgame parameter.

highgame

The highest score rolled by the bowler, other than 300. If the bowler rolled a 300 game, this parameter should be left blank, as the 300games field indicates that he has rolled at least one 300 game.

highseries

The highest 3-game series rolled by the bowler.

videourl

The full URL pointing to either a video file, or a page containing a sample video, of the bowler's form. It should not be a complete game; just one or two shots is enough.

sponsors

A list of one or more of the bowler's sponsors.

blogurl

The full URL pointing to the bowler's official blog page. Use {{URL}}
