 | This template is used on approximately 21,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
This subtemplate of {{Infobox basketball biography}} is used to generate the colored headers corresponding to the team colors for the individual's current professional team.
Usage
{{Infobox basketball biography/style|team}}
or
{{Infobox basketball biography/style|team|team_link}}
How it works
The template checks to see if the team is known by checking the return code from the 'check' function in Module:Sports color. If the team is known by the module, then it will return known, and the template uses coloring specified by the 'colorcell' function in Module:Sports color. If the team is not known by the module, then it will return nothing, and the template uses the coloring specified by the 'header' function in Module:College color.
If a second team_link parameter is passed, this style statement is used to generate a colored link, otherwise the template simply returns the style statement.
Tests
The following are tests to make sure the template has not been broken. The tests check the last team in a few sections of the module, and in the NCAA color template.
| Test | League | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Blank | N/A | background-color: #DCDCDC; color: #000000; |
| Retired | N/A | background-color: #DCDCDC; color: #000000; |
| Free Agent | N/A | background-color: #DCDCDC; color: #000000; |
| Washington Wizards | NBA | background-color: #002B5C; color: #FFFFFF; |
| Žalgiris Kaunas | Euroleague | background-color: #146734; color: #FFFFFF; |
| Wollongong Hawks | NBL | background-color: #EC2227; color: #FFFFFF; |
| Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters | PBA | background-color: #0D0DBF; color: #FFFFFF; |
| Smart Gilas Pilipinas | PBA | background-color:#DCDCDC;color:#000000; |
| s.Oliver Baskets | European leagues | background-color:#DCDCDC;color:#000000; |
| Wonju Dongbu Promy | KBL | background-color: #00703C; color: #FFFFFF; |
| South Korea national basketball team | KBL | background-color:#DCDCDC;color:#000000; |
| Youngstown State Penguins | NCAA | background-color:#C8102E;color:#FFFFFF; |
| Moncton Magic | Canada | background-color: #000000; color: #FFFFFF; |
| Raleigh Firebirds | The Basketball League | background-color:#DCDCDC;color:#000000; |
The third column in the table above should not be blank for any of the queries. Only the first three should return DCDCDC/000000 (the default).
Complexity
In principle, more leagues could be added, but there is a risk that this would increase the module's complexity, and either (a) reduce rendering speed, or (b) trigger the dreaded script error.
