User:Serafimul: full_local_name = same as local name of the country in HT
name_(english) = name of the country in English
image_flag = an image of the country flag
image_coat = an image of coat of arms
zone = zone in HT ehre this country belongs (Western Europe, Easter Europe...)
link_to_map = a link to a map (I used maps.google.com but anything can go)
continent = continent
season = what season is now in this country
number_of_teams = the approximate number of teams (like 10k, 23k, 105k...). Nobody can keep this accurate with Hattrick so approx numbers will do :)
level_of_series = does this country has 3 (newer one) levels or 11 (very old)?
number_of_regions = ...
top_serie_name = Allsvenskan, Dizvizia A, Serie A...
national_trainer = name him/her/it :)
u20_coach = ...
currency = name of the currency
parity = USD1 = 1€
htt_offset = offset to Hattrick time

See România for an working example.

Heh, I was just about to write that ;) Anyway, it's worth noting that parameters can be left empty, which could be very useful for htt_offset so you don't have to write +0 or something. --Catalyst2950 07:57, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

We have a problem. The "link to map" is below the zone, and I feel that it should represent, well, the map of the zone. That's logical. The country is highlighted anyway. What do we do now? --Catalyst2950 08:20, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, it seems logical to me to be there but if someone can find a better spot... we'll change the template. As long as the vars remain, there should be no problem.--Serafimul 08:26, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't understand Wiki tables, so I can't change it. But I would add the map link above the Zone section, and make sure it clearly states that it's a Google maps link so people don't click accidentally. --Catalyst2950 08:31, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Done.--Serafimul 08:46, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

can someone sort things out so the stuff I have added doesn't duplicate on all pages, but does appear on those pages with no more info. Still new to this wiki lark! --Dancing rob

I have used this template in España and in my opinion we should encourage the use of this template (and others) when documenting the wiki. Perhaps we could follow (up to some point) the guidelines at the wikimedia Help:Template page, and add an explanation of how to use this template and its parameters to this talk page. It would make it easier to use, i think.
