Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage[edit]

This template is designed to collect information, which is used in several articles, in one location. The 2017 Major League Soccer season tables are shown on the overall season article, as well as the articles for each conference, if not other pages as well. This template should replace the need to update the same information on several articles.

In article[edit]

To add this table to an article, type {{2017 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table}}.

Display options[edit]

Smaller table[edit]

If a smaller displayed table is desired, the parameter |only_pld_pts= can be defined in the template call to display only the position, team, games played, and points columns. This display may be desired if displaying both conference tables side-by-side. Valid values of |only_pld_pts= to display a truncated table are 1, yes, y, true, and t. For example:

What you type

{{2017 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table|only_pld_pts=true}}

What you see

Pos	Team v t e	Pld	Pts
1	Toronto FC	34	69
2	New York City FC	34	57
3	Chicago Fire	34	55
4	Atlanta United FC	34	55
5	Columbus Crew	34	54
6	New York Red Bulls	34	50
7	New England Revolution	34	45
8	Philadelphia Union	34	42
9	Montreal Impact	34	39
10	Orlando City SC	34	39
11	D.C. United	34	32

Display on team articles[edit]

Smaller sections of the table can be placed in team articles |showteam= and |show_limit= parameters. Use the abbreviation for the team that is used in the code, e.g. DCU for D.C. United, and the number of teams you wish to display – note that even numbers will be increased to an odd number to show symmetry in the table. For example:

What you type

{{2017 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table|showteam=DCU|show_limit=5}}

What you see

Pos	Team v t e	Pld	W	L	T	GF	GA	GD	Pts
7	New England Revolution	34	13	15	6	53	61	−8	45
8	Philadelphia Union	34	11	14	9	50	47	+3	42
9	Montreal Impact	34	11	17	6	52	58	−6	39
10	Orlando City SC	34	10	15	9	39	58	−19	39
11	D.C. United	34	9	20	5	31	60	−29	32
