Parameters
All parameters are optional.
name
- The name of the sport; this is usually the same as the name of the article, unless it has been disambiguated. E.g.,
Association football
. Capitalization should match article title. If this attribute is omitted, the name will be inferred from the page title. image
- the filename of an image to use (without "Image:" or "File:" prefix), e.g.
football iu 1996.jpg
imagesize
- the width in pixels for the image, e.g.
275px
Larger that 300 is not recommended. If this attribute is omitted, the image will default to 125px width. caption

. Omit this field entirely when non-relevant (e.g. medieval games that are now exinct).obsolete
- Is this game obsolete? Any value, such as
y
oryes
will cause this field to display as "Yes" Leave this field empty or omit it entirely if not obsolete; do not useno
