This template formats year ranges in a way that is not in compliance with the guideline at MOS:YEARRANGE. In nearly all cases, year ranges should be in the form YYYY–YYYY, not YYYY–YY. Two-digit ending years are allowed only for single seasons of sports or for places where space is limited. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:18, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

This template is exclusively used to produce tables that serve as listings of coaches; infoboxes and tables are specifically listed as the exceptions for use where space is limited. fuzzy510 (talk) 06:22, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
The guideline says infoboxes and tables where space is limited (using a single format consistently in any given table column). In the four pages where this template is used, horizontal space is not limited (YYYY–YYYY is only slightly wider than the word "Tenure" at the top of the column, so YYYY–YY is not saving any space; multiple ranges can and should be stacked vertically instead of separated by commas, for easy skimming in the vertical direction), and a single format is not used consistently in the year range column. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:41, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
