Template talk:MLB Year

Parameter to link more than the year
Right now, this template can only link the year itself—but frequently, it is used in sentences like "in the 2001 MLB season", where it would be more appropriate to write "in the 2001 MLB season" in order to identify the season—and not the year—as the item being linked to.

To fix this, change the template code to the latest revision of User:TheFeds/template/fedsMLB Year. This will implement a parameter  which can be set to   to abbreviate "Major League Baseball" as "MLB", or   in order to display the full title of the article in the link.

Default behaviour is the same (linking the year only), to avoid breaking existing prose. At some later date, it might be worthwhile sending a bot to update the links to the  and   versions instead of the default. TheFeds 06:27, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I added another option— which generates "2001 season" for contexts where MLB is already obvious. TheFeds 06:34, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅. Please update the documentation. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:55, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
