|honorific_suffix=
is for things like |honorific_suffix = [[Order of the British Empire|OBE]]
– honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as knighthoods and non-honorary doctorates; do not use it for routine things like "BA". It is not necessary to use the {{post-nominals}}
template in this parameter; doing so will make the output smaller (that template is intended for inline use in the article lead, and uses small-caps style).|image=ImageName.ext
– leaving out the [[...]]
bracketing markup causes a table layout error in Internet Explorer. The caption is handled as a separate template parameter, |caption=
, not a [[File:...]]
parameter.|Ranking wins=
and |Minor wins=
parameters, apart from the |World champ=
parameter, where you can list the years. The |Minor wins=
should only be used for minor-ranking tournaments.|Official maximums=
parameter is number of official maximum breaks achieved during the player's professional career.|Best finish=
parameter is for listing the best performance of players who have not won a ranking tournament. Generally use Runner-up, Semi-final, Quarter-final, Last 16, Last 24 or Last 32, followed by the number of times they have reached this stage, eg "(x1)". These achievements should be mentioned in the prose. Do not update until the player has "finished" in a tournament. This parameter is not used for players who have never reached the Last 32 stage.|Sport country=
parameter is used here to reflect the sporting nationality of players as competitors. These generally match those of FIFA. It is not the player's legal citizenship (which will often be the same but need not be). In snooker, as in association football, rugby, etc., players usually represent sovereign nation-states, but may represent non-sovereign sub-national entities, such as the constituent countries of the UK (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) for sporting purposes. It is not just Wikipedia that does this, as can be seen at the official International Billiards and Snooker Federation website here. The BBC have also adopted this usage as can be seen here. The Wikipedia usage reflects the real-life usage within the sport. This is a snooker player infobox, not a general biography box and its purpose is to express information about the player in relation to their sport. Finally, this parameter should not be used at all for snooker personages not notable as pro or top-flight amateur players, but for another role such as referee, announcer, etc.|Sport country=
parameter in the infobox. Format: |Sport country={{flag|CountryName}}
or |Sport country={{CountryCode}}
The infobox also contains a "Current ranking" field. Data for this field is not stored in the player's infobox but in a separate file: Template:Infobox snooker player/rankings.
The infobox also contains a "Nickname" field. Data for this field is not stored in the player's infobox but in a separate file: Template:Infobox snooker player/nicknames.
The infobox also contains a "Century breaks" field. Data for this field is not stored in the player's infobox but in a separate file: Template:Infobox snooker player/century breaks.
