Template:2015 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table/doc

Usage

This template is designed to collect information, which is used in several articles, in one location. The 2015 Major League Soccer season tables are shown on the overall season article, as well as the articles for each conference, if not other pages as well. This template should replace the need to update the same information on several articles.

In article

To add this table to an article, type {{2015 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table}}.

Display options

Smaller table

If a smaller displayed table is desired, the parameter |only_pld_pts= can be defined in the template call to display only the position, team, games played, and points columns. This display may be desired if displaying both conference tables side-by-side. Valid values of |only_pld_pts= to display a truncated table are 1, yes, y, true, and t. For example:

What you type	{{2015 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table|only_pld_pts=true}}
What you see	Pos Team Pld Pts 1 New York Red Bulls 34 60 2 Columbus Crew 34 53 3 Montreal Impact 34 51 4 D.C. United 34 51 5 New England Revolution 34 50 6 Toronto FC 34 49 7 Orlando City SC 34 44 8 New York City FC 34 37 9 Philadelphia Union 34 37 10 Chicago Fire 34 30 Source: MLS

Display on team articles

Smaller sections of the table can be placed in team articles |showteam= and |show_limit= parameters. Use the abbreviation for the team that is used in the code, e.g. DCU for D.C. United, and the number of teams you wish to display – note that even numbers will be increased to an odd number to show symmetry in the table. For example:

What you type	{{2015 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table|showteam=DCU|show_limit=5}}
What you see	Pos Team Pld W L T GF GA GD Pts Qualification 2 Columbus Crew 34 15 11 8 58 53 +5 53 MLS Cup Conference Semifinals 3 Montreal Impact 34 15 13 6 48 44 +4 51 MLS Cup Knockout Round 4 D.C.
