List of Infoboxes used by U.S. men's national teams articles and primary image support
Infobox Top image parameters & sizes Flag use guidelines[b][c] Notes
{{Infobox A1 Grand Prix team}} |flag_name= auto-generated mini flag Flag is automatically sized to 45 px. There is no option for an editor to change that.
{{Infobox sports team}} |logo= or |image= |logo_size= or |pixels= None
{{Infobox national futsal team}} |Badge= |Badge_size= None |Badge= is for "Shirt badge/Association crest"
{{Infobox rugby team}} |image= |image_size= None Documentation shows |countryflag=<!-- Three letter country code for the team -->, but there is no support in the code for that parameter and if set, it is silently ignored.
{{Infobox national football team}} |Badge= |Badge_size= None |Badge= is for "Shirt badge/Association crest"
{{Infobox national hockey team}} |Badge= |Badge_size= None |Badge= is for "Shirt badge/Association crest"
{{Infobox cricket team}} |image= |logo= |image_size= None |logo= is used unless |image= is used. As of Jan. 1, 2023, |logo= is used in 7 articles, |image= in 696.[1]
{{Infobox national handball team}} |Badge= |Badge_size= None |Badge= is for "Shirt badge/Association crest"
{{Infobox national lacrosse team}} |logo= |logo_size= None |logo= is for "Logo, Badge, Crest or any other symbol"
{{Infobox national softball team}} |Image= |Logo= |imagesize= None Example in template doc shows use of a flag icon in |name=
{{Infobox national motorcycle speedway team}} |image= |image size= None |image= is for "The official badge/logo of the team."
{{Infobox squash team}} |Image= |Image_size= None
{{Infobox national beach handball team}} |Badge= |Badge_size= None Documentation contains no guidance for any parameter (i.e., it is blank)
{{Infobox floorball club}} |image= |imagesize= None |imagesize= is not shown in the documentation, but is supported in the template code.
{{Infobox national wheelchair rugby team}} |logo= |logo_width= Mixed While there is some language in the documentation about use of the flag, the template code does not explicitly support that language. For example:
  • |logo=: "Optional: An image for the team or the national federation (optional; default is country flag)", there is no explicit support in the code for automatically using the country flag if logo is unspecified. Saying the parameter is "optional", but has a "default" appears ambiguous or contradictory.
  • |country=: "The country represented by the national team. Should correspond to the image Flag of country.svg", but there is no support in the code for this. Whatever value is set for |country= is displayed as the title/name of the Infobox, which could include a flag if an editor added, for example, a flag icon to that parameter.
{{Infobox national basketball team}} |logo= |logo_size= Mixed Documentation for |logo= says "Optional: An image for the team or the national federation (optional; default is country flag))". According to the template code, the "default" to use the country flag is only available if |logo= is not used and the undocumented |country1= parameter is set to the country's 3-letter code. The infobox then uses {{flagicon|<<country's 3-letter code>>|size=121px}}.
{{Infobox national baseball team}} |Image= or |Logo= |logo_size= None

Notes

  1. ^ Non-free images cannot be displayed except in mainspace, so those images that are non-free are merely referenced rather than displayed.
  2. ^ Focusing on use of flags at the top of an infobox. This ignores promotion or use of flag icons in various other parameters throughout the infobox.
  3. ^ "None" equates to the documentation being silent on the use of a flag as a primary infobox image. It does not state whether it allows or restricts the use of a flag as a primary infobox image. However, the name of the parameter does indicate the intent for the image to use (i.e., |badge= and |logo= versus a generic |image= parameter).
