New Table
The old table had one nice advantage, you could edit each individual row. The cost was an ugly table. With help from Technical_13 I created templates for each coach entry,


 * Coach list header Header template
 * Coach list entry one for each coach entry

Then templates were created for each conference


 * Wbb coaches/America East Conference
 * Wbb coaches/American Athletic Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Atlantic 10 Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Atlantic Coast Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Atlantic Sun Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Big 12 Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Big East Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Big Sky Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Big South Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Big Ten Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Big West Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Colonial Athletic Association
 * Wbb coaches/Conference USA
 * Wbb coaches/Horizon League
 * Wbb coaches/Independent
 * Wbb coaches/Ivy League
 * Wbb coaches/Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Mid-American Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Missouri Valley Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Mountain West Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Northeast Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Ohio Valley Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Pacific-12 Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Patriot League
 * Wbb coaches/Southeastern Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Southern Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Southland Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Southwestern Athletic Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Summit League
 * Wbb coaches/Sun Belt Conference
 * Wbb coaches/West Coast Conference
 * Wbb coaches/Western Athletic Conference

The result is that if one clicks the edit button at the end of each entry, one can edit the conference, and make the obvious changes. It isn't quite row by row editing, but easier than trying to edit the whole table, and better looking than the row by row option.

There were only a handful of individual seasons, so rather than a sea of red links, I only linked the few that existed.-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  17:04, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

One minor annoyance is that if you click on edit, the save will leave you in the underlying template, not back at the article, so best to open in new tab.-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  17:20, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

History of D1 wbb coaches
This page heading lists the number of new coaches in 2012–13, as well as 2013–14. The number in the current year is trivially calculated by sorting the table by date and counting. However, it is not that easy to count prior years. One can identify how many were new in the prior year if they are still active, but coaches new in 2012–13 but no longer active are not in the list. When the list was a simple list, updated occasionally, one could reconstruct the value by going to the history and picking an appropriate date. However, the page is now constructed by transcluding templates for each conference. As a consequence, the prior years numbers will not be trivial to verify, and if there are questions, not easy to support.

As a partial solution (if others have a better idea, let me know), I am going to save the current year list of the new coaches, so that as time progresses, the old lists can be verified.

Here is the list of new coaches:

I don’t know how to make these changes.

New Mexico State is now in Conference USA.

 * I have removed the external link. The bot attempt to locate the page in the Internet archive may well have been correct but is not useful. The WBCA maintains a list of current active coaches. The external link pointed to that list which would be a helpful resource for anyone interested in current active coaches. However, while the organization continues to maintain that list, they no longer publish it on their website. A link to a snapshot in time is not a helpful resource for anyone interested in current coaches, so I chose to remove the link rather than let it point to the Internet archive version.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  15:12, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

MEAC Conference
Whole conference isn't listed on the article, but Wbb coaches/Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference is working just fine. Brian (talk) 02:09, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
