What have you done to this?
All the football player inboxes have been reformatted and now the columns don't line up - they are all over the place! Look at the state of these Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham. This one has ventured outside the box itself Kylian Mbappé. Needs fixing or reverting asap!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rcclh (talk • contribs) 22:22, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Nobody has done anything to this template. The problem is at a global level, see WP:VPT. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 22:25, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Inconsistency on appearances
indicates all competitions, but  i.e. for pro clubs indicates only league competitions. Would that exclude national competitions such as FA Cup or continental club competitions such as Europa League?

And meanwhile, adding even more to the inconsistency,  indicates not only all competitions, but friendlies as well?

Why all this inconsistency? Keith D. Tyler &para; 06:52, 25 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Most sources give college statistics for all competitions, and do not differentiate between the regular season and tournaments. Meanwhile, while there often is data for club appearances in national leagues, statistics for cup competitions are notoriously more difficult to source, especially for the pre-internet era. For consistency's sake it was decided to only include league statistics. As for national teams, caps are awarded for all official appearances by a player for their country, regardless of whether it is a competitive or friendly match.
