Template:Infobox AFL biography/doc

Usage


Name
Player's common name (first and last). Should be the same as the article's title, except with no disambiguation. Example: | name = Mark McVeigh Player's full name, if possible. No nicknames should be included. Example: | fullname = Christopher Dylan Judd Player's nickname(s). If not widespread, should be backed up by a reliable source, otherwise deleted. | nickname = Whiskas
 * name
 * fullname
 * nickname

Image
Name of image. Note you should not include "File:" or wikilink it – the template does this automatically. Example: | image = Joel Selwood playing for Geelong.JPG Alternative text for the image. Example: | alt = A tall, fair-skinned man with brown eyes, dark hair and a goatee, wearing a red polo shirt and blue jeans, stands against a white background. Image caption. Example: | caption = Matthew Pavlich kicking for goal in 2006
 * image
 * alt
 * caption

Age, birth and death
Use yyyy. Example: May 23, 1971 produces 23 May 1971 (age 40)
 * birth_date

If unknown, leave blank. The wikified placename and state of Australia should be included. If overseas-born, include the country of birth. Example: | birth_place = Bendigo, Victoria
 * birth_place

Use yyyy. Note the death dates go before the birth dates. If alive, leave blank. Example:
 * death_date

If unknown, leave blank. The wikified placename and state of Australia should be included. If died overseas, include the country of death. Example: | birth_place = Westonia, Western Australia
 * death_place

Playing information
The original team from which the player was recruited. This will usually be a junior or country football club. Do not include previous AFL clubs. State league teams should not be used unless no other information is available. Wikify if possible. Example: | originalteam = Mandurah Junior Football Club
 * originalteam

The pick(s) used to select the player in the VFL/AFL draft, if applicable. The format should be as follows: No. aa in the bbbb ccccccc ; where aa stands for the draft pick, bbbb stands for the year of the draft (note: the rookie and pre-season drafts are described as occurring for the next season e.g. the 2005 rookie draft occurred in 2004.), ccccccc stands for the type of draft (national, rookie, pre-season, mid-season, pre-draft selection). Players drafted more than once should be listed more than once. Players selected under zoning should be described as a zone selection. Players selected as a priority pick or the father-son rule should be listed as such in small text. Example:
 * draftpick

| draftpick = No. 40 (F/S), 2001 national draft

The player's height in centimetres (cm). Example:
 * height

| height = 195 cm

The player's weight in kilograms (kg). Example:
 * weight

| weight = 100 kg

The position(s) the player played during their career. More specific roles (full-forward, rover) are preferable to general terms (midfielder, defender). Wikified is also preferable. "Interchange" or "substitute" should not be listed as a position. Example:
 * position

| position = Ruckman, full-forward

The current club the player is playing with. If more than one, select the highest level of playing e.g. Darren Glass is listed both at Perth and at West Coast. West Coast plays in a higher competition, so use West Coast. Example:
 * currentclub

| currentclub =

The current guernsey number of the player. Example:
 * guernsey

| guernsey = 6
