    Parameters[edit]

    Name[edit]

    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
    
    fullname

    Player's full name, if possible. No nicknames should be included. Example:

    | fullname = Christopher Dylan Judd
    
    nickname

    Player's nickname(s). If not widespread, should be backed up by a reliable source, otherwise deleted.

    | nickname = Whiskas
    

    Image[edit]

    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
    
    image_upright

    The scaling factor for the image.

    | image_upright = 0.5
    
    alt

    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.
    
    caption

    Image caption. Example:

    | caption = Matthew Pavlich kicking for goal in 2006
    

    Age, birth and death[edit]

    birth_date

    Use {{birth date and age|yyyy|mm|dd|df=y}}. Example:

    {{birth date and age|1971|05|23|df=y}}
    

    produces 23 May 1971 (age 40)

    birth_place

    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]]
    
    death_date

    Use {{death date and age|yyyy|mm|dd|yyyy|mm|dd|df=y}}. Note the death dates go before the birth dates. If alive, leave blank. Example:

    
    
    death_place

    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]]
    

    Playing information[edit]

    originalteam

    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
    
    draftpick

    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'' AFL draft|''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. Example:

    | draftpick = No. 40 ([[Father–son rule|F/S]]), [[2001 AFL draft|2001 national draft]]
    
    height

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

    | height = 195 cm
    
    weight

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

    | weight = 100 kg
    
    position

    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 = [[Ruckman]], [[full-forward]]
    
    currentclub

    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 = {{AFL Ess}}
    
    guernsey

    The current guernsey number of the player. Example:

    | guernsey = 6
    

    Umpires[edit]

    The following additional parameters are available for AFL umpires

    | umpireleague1   = <!-- e.g., [[West Australian Football League|WANFL]] -->
    | umpirerole1     = <!-- e.g., Field umpire -->
    | umpireyears1    = <!-- e.g., 1952-1964 -->
    | umpiregames1    = <!-- e.g., 20 -->
    | umpireleague2   =
    | umpirerole2     = 
    | umpireyears2    =
    | umpiregames2    = 
    | umpireleague3   = 
    | umpirerole3     =
    | umpireyears3    = 
    | umpiregames3    =
    

    Sources[edit]

    A link to either, or both, of AustralianFootball.com and AFLTables.com will be inserted into the infobox automatically if the article's wikidata item contains the respective IDs. The ID for Australian Football is the numbers at the end of the URL after "http://australianfootball.com/players/player/John+Smith/", normally in the form of 12345. The ID for AFL Tables is the URL segment after "http://afltables.com/afl/stats/players" in the form of J/John_Smith, without the .html.

    If you want to override the automatically added links, then this can be done by using the source parameter. Example:

    | source = [https://australianfootball.com/players/player/evie%2Bgooch/20227 AustralianFootball.com]
    

    Use as a child template[edit]

    The embed parameter is used when embedding this infobox into another.

    This infobox may be used to create a genre-specific section within {{Infobox person}} (or similar biographical infobox templates) for cases where a person may be notable in more than one field; a generic example is shown below.

    Microformat[edit]

    The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book or database. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

    Sub-templates[edit]

    Date-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {{birth date}}, or {{birth date and age}} are used in the infobox. (Do not use these if the date is before 1583). Be cautious about using these if the person is still living, per WP:DOB.

    To include a URL, use {{URL}}.

    Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

    • adr
