Module:Team appearances list/doc

This module implements Team appearances list. Check there for usage documentation.

Modules
Module:Team appearances list is invoked by Team appearances list to display a horizontal list showing the years a specified team participated in a specified competition. Each year of attendance is wikilinked to a corresponding article, while years the team did not compete (absences) are shown as disabled.

The names of the competition and team must be specified. Optionally, information for a competition can be defined in Module:Team appearances list/data, and team information can be included:
 * – The first year to be shown.
 * – The last year to be shown.
 * Years the team did not attend the competition.

If  or   are defined for a team, they set default values that can be overridden with parameters in the template.

If a team is defined for a particular competition, any absent years in the templace call are ignored (instead, the absences defined in the data module are used).

Module:Team appearances list/show is used for testing. It shows the results for all competition/team pairs defined in the data module. The results are displayed at Module talk:Team appearances list/show.

Changes should be performed in the sandbox modules, using the following for testing:
 * Team appearances list/sandbox – Uses the sandbox main and data modules.
 * Module talk:Team appearances list/show – Results for all competition/team pairs defined in the sandbox data module.

Errors
Parameters provided by the template are validated using the following rules. Always: competition  required : non-empty string team         required : non-empty string

If competition is defined in data module: begin_year   optional : number from 1800 to 2100 inclusive end_year     optional : as above (and end_year >= begin_year) else: begin_year   required : as above end_year     optional : as above interval     required : number from 1 to 30 inclusive

An invalid parameter causes an error to be displayed and places the page in the hidden category Category:Pages with script errors.
