Template:Infobox figure skater/sandbox

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is an infobox for a biographical article on a figure skater, summarizing personal information and the skating career. It is compatible with {{Figure skating infobox medals}}, which can be used to list medals at major international skating competitions. This template can be used as a stand-alone infobox or be embedded as a child template into a parent infobox.

Based on the proposals and majority votings on WikiProject Figure Skating in October 2023, various parameters have been removed from this template, including ISU personal best scores as well as the full world standing and season's best lists. Please help updating the infoboxes for all skaters, following these guidelines. If you notice any issues with this infobox template, please leave a message on the talk page.

country	Country the skater represents in competition. Use IOC country codes like {{JPN}} for Japan. If the skater represents multiple countries, list them in reverse order from last to first with the period in parentheses. For multiple countries, it is recommended to use the template {{unbulleted list}}, see example below.

coach	The current coach or coaching team of the skater. For a coaching team, it is recommended to use the template {{hlist}}. Only use this parameter if the skater is still an active competitor. For professional or retired skaters, mention coaches in the prose part of the article, supported by reliable secondary sources.
skating club	The current main skating club represented in competition, using the format "club, location". Only use this parameter if the skater is still an active competitor. For professional or retired skaters, mention clubs in the prose part of the article, supported by reliable secondary sources.

medals	Old parameters to list medals that can be used in combination with {{Infobox medal templates}}. However, they require a much longer markup code than the new template and manual linking of each competition. So it is recommended to use the parameter |medalrecord= instead.
medaltemplates
module	A module slot to embed optional infobox templates like {{Infobox YouTube personality}}.
