Template:NBA Year/doc

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Usage

Use this template to link to "NBA season" articles from a particular year. The first parameter is the starting year of the season. By default, the template displays text in the form "yyyy–yy"; except for the 1999–2000 season, which is in the form "yyyy–yyyy" to comply with MOS:YEAR and MOS:DATERANGE.

A second parameter may be used if only one year is to be displayed (does not work if nolink is passed in).

{{nbay|...}} is the other name of this template.

Named parameters

app
Text to be appended after the year, with a space in between.

For the parameters below, passing in any non-empty text will produce the same result, so as a matter of style, only pass in "y" (without quotes).

nolink
Text must not be linked.
full
Text must be in "yyyy–yyyy" format.
trunc
The 1999–2000 season is to be displayed as "1999–00" instead of "1999–2000".
baa
The link target should direct to a BAA season article.

Examples

  • {{NBA Year|1999}}1999–2000
  • {{NBA Year|1999|app=season}}1999–2000 season
  • {{NBA Year|1999|start}}1999
  • {{NBA Year|1999|end}}2000
  • {{NBA Year|1999|trunc=y}}1999–00
  • {{NBA Year|1999|nolink=y|trunc=y}} → 1999–00


  • {{NBA Year|1998}}1998–99
  • {{NBA Year|1998|full=y}}1998–1999
  • {{NBA Year|1998|full=y|nolink=y}} → 1998–1999


Bad examples

  • For style, only pass in "y" for the optional parameters: {{NBA Year|1999|nolink=NO}} → 1999–2000
  • full and trunc conflict: {{NBA Year|1999|full=y|trunc=y}}1999–2000
  • start/end and nolink are incompatible: {{NBA Year|1999|start|nolink=y}} → 1999–2000
  • trunc is useless for years other than 1999: {{NBA Year|1998|trunc=y}}1998–99
  • full is useless for 1999: {{NBA Year|1999|full=y}}1999–2000
