This template is meant to be used for abbreviated regular season results with expandable details. The goal with this template is to only consume one line of text (when collapsed) for each match. Therefore, avoid using line breaks (<br />) in parameters that are still visible when the box score is collapsed.

Parameters

rætta

Required parameters: team1, team2, score (if the match has occurred), and report. Everything else is optional, though goals1, goals2, referee, location, and stadium are highly encouraged wherever this template is used.

Content Parameters

rætta
  • attendance - Match attendance as reported in the match report.
  • date - Date of the match. Use {{Start date}} (with df=y or mf=y; see: WP:ENGVAR)
  • location & stadium - If location is not specified, the value of stadium will appear at the top of the far right column "above the fold". If location is specified, then only the location value will appear "above the fold" on the right, and the value of stadium will be shown with the prefix "Stadium:" beside it only when the box score is expanded.
  • goals1 and goals2 - Goals scored and optionally cards issued. Use {{goal}}, {{yel}}, and {{sent off}} with the last name (or professional name) of the player involved. Create a list (lines starting with *) if multiple players are listed. If a player scores more than one goal (or cards) these can be grouped together so that the player's name only appears once. This is not required though. Preference should be given to listing goals (and cards) in chronological order.
  • penaltyscore - The result of the penalty shootout.
    • penalties1 and penalties2 - List of the results of each penalty kick taken. Use {{pengoal}} and {{penmiss}} with the last name (or professional name) of the player taking the kick. Create a list (lines starting with *) if multiple players are listed.
  • score - The final score of the match. If the match went into extra time (and possibly penalties) the aet parameter should be set to yes.
  • aet - Set this parameter to yes if the match went to extra time.
  • aggregatescore - Optionally, the aggregate score if the match is the second of a two leg tie. Example: |aggregatescore = 4[[Away goals rule|a]]–4, which produces (4a–4 agg.)
  • time - Time of the match. The local time of the match (local to the stadium it took place in). Either 24h or 12h formats are acceptable.
  • team1 and team2 - Typically team1 is the home team. Both should be wikilined to a team page if there is one.
  • referee - Name of head referee (wikilinked only if there is a page for the referee or you intend to create it soon). The referee's national federation in parenthesis is optional but recommended when the box score is for an international competition.
    • assistantreferees, fourthofficial, fifthofficial, & goallineassistants - Further detailed referee information. Same guidelines apply as referee.
      • assistantreferee2 & goallineassistant2 - For use when putting both officials name in the parameter takes too much space. If this field is used, only one referee should be in "assistantreferees" or "goallineassistants", and the other should be in this parameter. An example of a use for this is when putting the national football association which the referees belong, and running out of space.
  • motm - Man of the match.
  • mvp - Most valuable player.
  • report - An external link to an official match report or box score. It is important that match information be referenced, so please use this parameter! (See also: Verifiability and No Original Research)
  • round - For use when the match is part of a tournament with various rounds of play, such as Preliminary Round, First Round, Group Stage, etc. Wikilinking to the appropriate tournament page/section is recommended.
  • note - For use when a short explanation is needed. It creates text in italics in the bottom left hand corner.

Formatting Parameters

rætta
  • format - Set to 1 to allow more space for round/date and location, 1.1 and 1.2 are variations of 1 which allow very long team name; 1.1 for team1, and 1.2 for team2
  • bg - Use this param to specify a custom background color (ignored if result is specified). Use RRGGBB values without the # sign. Example: |bg=99C0B0
  • nobars - Set this parameter to 1 if you don't want the one pixel bars to show above and below the template. Example: |nobars=1
  • result - Adjusts background color to indicate win (green), draw/tie (yellow), loss (red) or void/postponement (grey). Possible values: W, L, T, D, V or P. See the Legend section below when using this parameter. See competition parameter below for custom values of the result parameter.
  • size - By default Footballbox_collapsible is 100% wide. Use this param to specify a different width. Example: |size=80%
  • class - Use this if you do not want the template collapsed. The options are "uncollapsed " (removal of collapse function), "collapsible " (box can be collapsed, but by default is not) and "collapsible collapsed " (box is initially collapsed). If unused, the parameter will default to "collapsible collapsed ". Example: |class=collapsible
  • competition - Used with result parameter to define custom background colors in derby and competition articles. Case sensitive.

Legend

rætta

Simple coloring legend recommended when an article makes use of result parameter:

{{legend2|#BBF3BB|Win|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}}
{{legend2|#FFFFBB|Draw|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}}
{{legend2|#FFBBBB|Loss|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}}
{{legend2|#BBBBBB|Void|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} <!-- optional -->
{{legend2|#BBBBBB|Postponed|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} <!-- optional -->

Which produces:

      Win       Draw       Loss       Void       Postponed


Note: Given the rarity of voided results and postponements, those entries are optional and can be omitted in most cases.
