Restructure of fixtures and results
After viewing the UEFA Champions League and Cup pages, I was thinking that it would be good to make use of the similar structure there to display the results in the table structure. This would align the team names and scores nicely for a better view. I noticed that it makes use of templates, so can anyone who knows how to use templates please show the way on how to do it?

Thanks in advance. Kiwi8 02:49, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Most of the templates used in the Champions League and UEFA Cup articles are for two-leg matches, and incorporate code to show national flags of each team, so they're not strictly relevant for domestic competitions. However, there is code for showing individual matches in the group stages which you can adapt here. For example:

produces


 * so, to explain what's going on, first we open the table (left curly bracket, vertical bar) then define the column layout of the table
 * {| width=100% cellspacing=1

!width=20%| !width=12%| !width=20%| !
 * we define that the table uses the full width of the article - width=100%, don't mess with the cell spacing. Then we define the width of non-standard colums with the "!width=" statement - the home and away team names get 20% of the available width and the result gets 12%, all other columns will have an equal share of the available space.


 * September 13, 2005
 * Now we force a new line with vertical bar, dash. Since we're happy with the default size and font, we don't need to provide any parameters. Start each field with a vertical bar, even if, as on this line, there's only one field - the date. Now to the detail line:
 * Now we force a new line with vertical bar, dash. Since we're happy with the default size and font, we don't need to provide any parameters. Start each field with a vertical bar, even if, as on this line, there's only one field - the date. Now to the detail line:


 * - style=font-size:90%
 * align=right|Rangers
 * align=center|3–2
 * Porto
 * 19:45
 * Ibrox Stadium
 * Force another new line with vertical bar, dash, and this time as we want a smaller font than normal we define it by saying "style=font-size:90%". Mark the start of each field with a vertical bar; by default all fields are left-justified, but as you can see here, they can also be aligned to the right or the "center" (sic); any entered parameters are also separated from the data with another vertical bar. For bold text, use triple single-quotes, as usual. For football results we usually use – (ndash) rather than an ordinary dash. Repeat this style of entry for as many matches as you want, then finally close the table with a vertical bar, right curly bracket.

Matches broadcast in the United Kingdom
I added a section on the matches that were broadcast in the United Kingdom. If you have a good memory on which match in a round was broadcast, could you please add them? Thank you! Wonderwizard (talk) 12:42, March 24 2015 (UTC)
