Module:RoundN/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Module:RoundN.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page.

Usage

Basic form:

{{#invoke:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|main|columns = number of columns (3 columns for Round8, 4 columns for Round16, etc.)}}

Parameter List

bold parameter names are required
italicized parameter names are required in some cases

Parameter name Description

columns

Number of columns/eliminations (3 columns for Round8, 4 columns for Round16, etc.)

Note

For columns less than 4 (i.e. Round2-Round8), the 3rd Place match box is hidden by default. For columns greater or equal to 4, the 3rd Place match box is visible by default. This reflects the behavior of the templates prior to this module's release.

{{{#}}}

Unnamed parameters (i.e. a value not prefixed by [param_name] =) are read sequentially in groups of 5 such that:

Template 1

{{#invoke:RoundN|main|columns=2
 |Day 1|A|'''7'''|B|5
 |Day 2|C||D|
 |tdb|A|||
}}

Semi-finals		Final

Day 1

A	7
		tdb
B	5
		A
Day 2

C

D

Placing each group of 5 on a new line is optional, but does make it easier to read. Also, consider adding the comments such as  on top and  above the first group of 5 in the finals round, etc.

skipmatch[#]

No boxes will be shown for the #th match group. For example, adding |skipmatch2=yes to Template 1 will result in

Semi-finals		Final

Day 1

A	7
		tdb
B	5
		A

Useful for playoffs or when the number of teams playing in a round is not a power of 2. Unlike in the original template, this module does not require leading zeroes in this parameter, i.e. skipmatch001 is the same as skipmatch1 (though it may make your template code easier to read if lead with an appropriate number of zeroes).

Note:

The next 5 unnamed parameters will be ignored regardless of value unless omit_blanks is set to 'yes' (see below).
Skipping is currently only allowed in the first round (in this case, the 'Semi Finals'). For example, setting columns=3 normally has 4 matches in the first round; thus, skipmatch5 and beyond will be ignored.

omit_blanks

Add |omit_blanks=yes|skipmatch2=yes to Template 1 and all parameters that would have been skipped will instead be shifted to the next non-skipped box. (This is turned off by default because most templates made before the release of this module were required to use empty parameters as placeholders.)

A	7
		Day 2

bold_winner

Instead of using wikimark-up to bold the names/scores, just set bold_winner like in the following:
