AGM: New Template for Trades (7/16)

9
Vote


Fast on the heels of my Triple Crown templates, I've created a series of templates to allow us to easily summarize trades. I've created templates involving up to 8 teams in a trade. The Templates are:


  • Template:2TeamTrade
  • Template:3TeamTrade
  • Template:4TeamTrade
  • Template:5TeamTrade
  • Template:6TeamTrade
  • Template:7TeamTrade
  • Template:8TeamTrade

And they work like this:
{{2TeamTrade | Team1=Sometown Team | PlayersToTeam1=John Smith, Jack Smith, Bill Smith, Dave Smith<br> ''Player to be named later'', ''cash considerations'' | Team2=Anothertowns Team | PlayersToTeam2=John Doe, Jack Doe, Bill Doe, Dave Doe<br> ''Player to be named later'', ''cash considerations'' }}

The above code becomes:

Players Traded To Sometown Team
John Smith, Jack Smith, Bill Smith, Dave Smith

Player to be named later, cash considerations

Players Traded To Anothertowns Team
John Doe, Jack Doe, Bill Doe, Dave Doe

Player to be named later, cash considerations

Note that miscellaneous, non-personnel additions to the trade should be included in the Players field. Also note that standard wiki formatting, like [[Johnny Damon]], would be used in an actual article. These templates should be especially useful for some of those huge NBA trades that can happen.

With the baseball trade deadline looming, these templates should get used often. Well, maybe not the 8-team trade template.

What are the odds that two teams would have four players with the same name each and then trade them?! :-)

It's certainly a blockbuster.
