Template:Cbb link

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template employs intricate features of template syntax. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. Remember that you can conduct experiments, and should test all improvements, in either the general Template sandbox or your user space before changing anything here.

Due to a server limit of 100 calls to the parser function #ifexist per page, this template will only work properly for the first 33 uses on a single page. Try to use it sparingly

This template will allow you to link to a college basketball team page that may not yet exist. It will display the best available link.

For example, if I want to link to the article about the 2010-11 Richmond Spiders men's basketball team that may or may not exist, I would make this call:

{{cbb link|year=2010-11|sex=men|team=Richmond Spiders|school=University of Richmond|title=Richmond}}

This would yield: Richmond

Important - whitespace cannot be included or it will be added to the wiki link and it will not function properly.

[edit] When the template should not be used

To help limit the calls to #ifexist, it is strongly recommended that a direct link be used for specific team season articles instead of this template. Thus,

{{cbb link|year=2007-08|team=Kansas Jayhawks|school=University of Kansas|title=Kansas}}

should be changed to

[[2007-08 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team|Kansas]]

once that page is written. Templates used in cases such as this are listed at Category:Excessive uses of cbb link and should be changed as described.
