Parameters and instructions

• name - self-explanatory
• hof - if the person is inducted into the hall of fame, enter their name here, replacing spaces with hyphens (i.e. "Antoine Delacour" becomes "Antoine-Delacour").
• hof-type - if the person was inducted into the hall of fame but not as a player, enter the type here (should be either "user" or "gm")
• user - enter the username of the person who created/controlled this person (i.e. for the player "Antoine Delacour", "37thchamber" would be listed under user)
• image / image_size / alt / caption - used in conjunction to display images. All are independent and thus can be included or left out on an individual basis. Width defaults to 200 pixels, so there is no need to use it unless this value needs to be changed. If an image is used, alt should describe the visual appearance of the image for visually impaired readers. The caption field automatically displays small text, so there is no need to specify font size in the field. When specifying an image, do not wikilink the information.
• current_team - used to display the team that currently employs the subject player. This field also automatically determines the team colors used in the infobox for active players. If player is unemployed (but potentially will play again), complete this field as "Free agent"; if the player is retired, remove this field. When specifying the player's current team, do not wikilink the information.
• number - used to display the player's current jersey number or past NFL jersey numbers. If the player's number is not currently known, fill the field with two dashes (--). Do not wikilink the information.
• position - used to display the player's most frequently played position. For a player who regularly plays multiple positions (e.g., Cornerback / Safety), the link should be pipelinked to display only the position name (e.g., "[[wp:Guard (American football)|Guard]]"). Do not specify positions beyond the basics. For example, use only "Safety" rather than "Free safety" or "Strong safety," or "Linebacker" rather than "Outside linebacker" or "Middle linebacker," as these positions are susceptible to change and therefore may cause inaccuracies in the infobox.
• birth_date - used to display the player's date of birth. Recommended format relies on the {{Birth date and age2}} template in conjuction with the {{CurrentDate}} template. For example {{birth date and age2|{{CurrentDate/yy}}|{{CurrentDate/mm}}|{{CurrentDate/dd}}|1993|10|10}} will return a date of birth of October 10 1993, with the corresponding age (according to the value set in CurrentDate).
• birth_place - used to display the player's place of birth.
• death_date - used to display the player's date of death. Recommended format relies on the {{Death date and age}} template. If adding a date of death, make sure that the birth date field does not use the {{Birth date and age2}} template, but uses the {{Birth date}} template instead.
• death_place - used to display the player's place of death which may be wiki linked.
• height_ft / height_in / weight_lb - used to display the player's physical dimensions as listed on the player's profile page. Weight_lb should be the player's weight in pounds per standard American usage. Only enter the numerical value. Do not wikilink the information.
• high_school - used to display the player's high school. Use wp to link this to an existing wikipedia page for the school. For example: Acadiana High School where the school name does not need to be displayed differently. Use Breckenridge (TX), or Long Beach (CA) Poly where the full school name would not normally be used.
• college - used to display the university or college institution that the player attended prior to joining the NSFL. If a player attended multiple colleges, usually only the last college team is displayed (usually the one listed on NFL.com); however, if important to understanding a player's college career history, an additional college team may be included. College teams should be wikilinked.

• Links should be as specific as possible. For example, "Alabama" should be linked to Alabama Crimson Tide football, rather than the main University of Alabama article, in this field. If a particular college football team article does not exist, create a redirect to the school's sports article (per WP:NOPIPE).
• University and college names displayed should be consistent with their common name used in sports, meaning words like "University," "University of" or "College" are usually omitted and only the unique name elements are used. For example, the University of Pittsburgh would only be displayed as "Pittsburgh," Florida State University as "Florida State," and so on. Schools with ambiguous names should be listed as they are on NFL.com, such as "Miami (Fla.)" for the University of Miami and "Miami (Oh.)" for Miami University.

• draftyear / draftround / draftpick - used to display the player's NSFL Draft information. Do not wikilink the information. Null fields can be removed from the box.
• dsfldraftyear / dsfldraftround / dsfldraftpick - used to display the player's DSFL Draft information. Do not wikilink the information. Null fields can be removed from the box.
• NOTE: there are also fields for supplementary drafts, and expansion drafts ("suppdraftyear" and "expansiondraftyear" respectively).
• undraftedyear - can be used in favor of draftyear if player went undrafted. The year should correspond to the first year a player was eligible for the draft, regardless of when they first signed with an NSFL team or played in the league.
• pastteams - used to display the teams which the players has played for and his current team. A timeline effect is preferred to keep all things in chronological order, meaning different stints with one team are listed separately. The generally accepted bullet point is *. Teams from other professional leagues should be listed in sequence with NFL teams.
• pastteamsnote - When invoked by placing "yes," the template will automatically add the following indented, small text message at the bottom of the "past teams" section: "*Offseason and/or practice squad member only". Editors are responsible for denoting practice and/or offseason squads with an asterisk following the tenure (i.e. the year span) for each practice or offseason squad.

An example of a player's full list of teams and tenures is:

• Tijuana Luchadores (2019)
• Baltimore Hawks (2020)*
• Orange County Otters (2020-2022)
• New Orleans Second Line (2023–present)

*DSFL send-down only

• status - used to describe whether a player is on the active roster, or suspended. Appropriate entries to this field should be Active or Suspended.
• pastcoaching - used to display the teams for which a coach has worked and his current team, and each entry is set off with a bullet point. A timeline effect is preferred to keep all things in chronological order, meaning different stints with a single team are listed separately. The generally accepted bullet point is *. Teams from other professional leagues should be listed in sequence with NSFL/DSFL teams.

An example of a (fake) coach's list of teams and tenures is:

• Orange County Otters (2017)
  Assistant General Manager
• Chicago Blues (2018-2019)
  General Manager
• San Jose Sabercats (2020)
  Assistant General Manager
• Baltimore Hawks (2021)
  General Manager

• highlights - used to display career awards and highlights for the player. Wikilinks are acceptable. The generally accepted bullet point is an asterisk (*). If a player does not have any notable achievements, leave the field blank so that the field remains in the event of future accomplishments.

• The standard for writing an achievement is to display the achievement, followed by the year earned in parentheses. Achievements should be listed in the following order:

• NSFL championships
• NSFL Pro Bowls
• NSFL League MVPs
• Other NSFL honors (Offensive POY, etc.)
• NSFL Season statistical leaders
• DSFL championships
• DSFL Pro Bowls
• DSFL League MVPs
• Other DSFL honors (Offensive POY, etc.)
• DSFL Season statistical leaders
• Pro career honors (retired number, etc.)

Examples of how certain achievements would be written:

• 3× Ultimus champion (I, II, III)
• 2× NSFL Pro Bowl (2017 (S2), 2018 )

• Additionally, Pro Bowl selections are to be linked to the appropriate league and season. For example, a Pro Bowl selection during season 2 should be written as "[[NSFL Pro Bowl]] ({{nsfly|2||pb}})" so that it creates "NSFL Pro Bowl (2017 (S2))".

• statleague - used in the heading for the statistics section to display the league where the statistics were accumulated. Default is NSFL. Do not wikilink entries in this field.
• statseason - used in the heading for the statistics section to describe how current the statistics are. Only to be used for active NSFL players, where statistics are subject to future change. Do not wikilink entries in this field.

Do not wikilink entries in this field.

• statlabel# - used to describe the statistic being entered, such as Touchdowns, Receiving yards, Games played, etc. Up to eight statistics can be entered by changing the number to 1 through 8, with each corresponding to the appropriate statvalue# entry.
• statvalue# - used for the number a player has in a given statistic from NSFL games only. Up to eight statistics can be entered by changing the number to 1 through 8, with each corresponding to the appropriate statlabel# entry.
• dsflstatseason - used in the heading for the statistics section to describe how current the statistics are. Only to be used for active DSFL players, where statistics are subject to future change. Do not wikilink entries in this field.
• dsflstatlabel# - used to describe the statistic being entered, such as Touchdowns, Receiving yards, Games played, etc. Up to eight statistics can be entered by changing the number to 1 through 8, with each corresponding to the appropriate dsflstatvalue# entry.
• dsflstatvalue# - used for the number a player has in a given statistic, from DSFL games only. Up to eight statistics can be entered by changing the number to 1 through 8, with each corresponding to the appropriate dsflstatlabel# entry.
• regular_record - used to display the career regular season record for a head coach in the "wins−losses" format (i.e. 10−2). Use Template:Winning percentage to automatically calculate winning percentages from entered wins, losses, and ties. For example, "{{Winning percentage|15|11|2|record=y}}" renders "15–11–2 (.571)".
• playoff_record - used to display the career postseason and/or playoff record for a head coach in the "wins−losses" format (i.e. 1−2).
• overall_record - used to display the total career record for a head coach, including regular season and postseason games, in the "wins−losses" format (i.e. 11−4). DO NOT combine win-loss records across different leagues (e.g., combined DSFL and NSFL win-loss records).
• nsfl links to the player page on nsfl.jcink.net (uses the topic ID)
