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

. Capitalize only the first nickname (unless one or more other ones are proper names). first
- Year (or century, if year unknown) and location the game was first played in some recognizable form. For very specific modern games (e.g. snooker plus), use as specific a date as possible, for that particular game not any ancestral forms.

, if any. Other values can be used, e.g.1904; removed from program in 1904
, orProposed for [[2010 Winter Olympics|2010]]
. 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
(that will not work). A game is obsolete if it has zero or near-zero living players. Just because a folk game has been "replaced" by a standardized game with a national governing body does not necessarily mean that it is obsolete (cf. stickball, which evolved into baseball but is still played).
