Template:Olympic events sidebar/doc

Olympic events sidebar is a base template for a series of navigational sidebars for articles on Olympic disciplines, designed to replace the aged ' and ' navigational sidebar series. The base template offers a simple, modern design that mimics the style of Infobox Olympic event, the infobox template in which Olympic events sidebar is designed to sit underneath. It offers a graphical representation of the Olympic discipline(s) featured, and a link to the discipline's article on Wikipedia. Its various sub-templates use  parser functions and collapsible lists to keep the sidebar short and not intrusive on the article's content, such as center-aligned tables and thumbnail images, while at the same time allowing just one template to be used for an entire discipline's Olympic history, rather than a separate template for each and every year the discipline was featured at an Olympics, unlike the predecessor Summer Olympics by year and Winter Olympics by year series did.
