The |2= parameter in {{URL}} is deprecated per its documentation. Removing this would consequently remove the generic "Official website" label, allowing readers to see and understand what the domain name of a club's website is, without forcing them to click through to it. — AFC Vixen 🦊 20:20, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Partly done: I agree that the reader should see the URL itself, rather than generic text. For consistency across all infobox templates, I've removed the {{URL}} wrapping the input. Uses of the template will have to wrap it with URL or {{Official website}}. Very few articles ought to break. Most of the time people will add https:// to the URL, and the parser will generate an HTML link. I suspect somewhere someone has put a URL without a URI scheme, and that will need to be fixed.

Clubs in two leagues

[edit]

Hi all,

I cover the New Zealand National League and the Southern League, two same but different league. The Southern League is a regional winter qualifying league for the national spring league and the same for the Central and Northern League. 10 team (11/12 team now) participate in the National League.
For example take Coastal Spirit, what we need to do to show the leagues is:

| league      = [[Southern League (New Zealand)|Southern League]]<br>[[New Zealand National League|National League]]
| season      = [[2024 New Zealand National League#2024 Southern League|2024]]
| position    = [[Southern League (New Zealand)|Southern League]], 2nd of 10<br>[[New Zealand National League|National League]], 7th of 10

Result
League Southern League
       National League
2024   Southern League, 2nd of 10
       National League, 7th of 10

What I'm suggesting is for it to be like:

| leagues     = [[Southern League (New Zealand)|Southern League]]<br>[[New Zealand National League|National League]]
| season1     = [[2024 New Zealand National League#2024 Southern League|2024]]
| position1   = [[Southern League (New Zealand)|Southern League]], 2nd of 10
| season2     = [[2024 New Zealand National League#Championship phase|2024]]
| position2   = [[New Zealand National League|National League]], 7th of 10

Result
Leagues Southern League
        National League
2024    Southern League, 2nd of 10
2024    National League, 7th of 10

Breakdown: Add another Season and Position label/data parameter and one for Leagues or have League like League(s) similar to Nickname(s). Was going to say that doing this would also help show international competitions; champions league and display that? just a thought that will not go anywhere.

Chairman

[edit]

Hi Frietjes, SWinxy, Paine Ellsworth, Jonesey95 and anyone else willing to help. Can someone please add the option to use "Chair" and "Chairwoman" as opposed to just "Chairman" into the template please? There are football clubs with women chairs and currently only "Chairman" can be used. Helper201 (talk) 21:05, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Helper201: it appears that this has already been done. Editors may use the |chrtitle= parameter to change "Chairman" (the default) to "President", "Chairperson", "Chair" or anything that applies. What else would you see as an improvement to that?
