Parameters

Name

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

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

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

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

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

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]
