Template:MMAevent bout

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

This template is part of a series of MMA event templates to make it easier to record the results of a MMA event. This particular template is used to record the result a single bout within an event. Multiple bout template can be used to record all bouts for a specific event/card.

Usage

This template should be used after the {{MMAevent}} event header and {{MMAevent card}} event card header templates with the {{MMAevent end}} event footer template to close the table.

The template itself does not use named parameters, only positional parameters. Given the number of parameters, it's best to put each one on a new line. To record a result, you would use the template like below in the article.

{{MMAevent bout
|Weight class
|Winning fighter name
|Outcome
|Losing fighter name
|Decision
|Round
|Time
|Notes}}

For example, to record a fight between Graceful Kelly and Clumsy Bob that Bob won via TKO 1:05 into the first round, you would put this:

{{MMAevent bout
|No weight
|Clumsy Bob
|def.
|Graceful Kelly
|TKO (Slipped, caught Kelly on the way down)
|1
|1:05
|}}

Which produces:

Main event
Weight class				Method	Round	Time	Notes
No weight	Clumsy Bob	def.	Graceful Kelly	TKO (Slipped, caught Kelly on the way down)	1	1:05

More examples are below.

Examples

Event without notes

Many times no note is needed for a bout. If that's the case, don't put anything in that

{{MMAevent}}
{{MMAevent card|Preliminary (Facebook)}}
{{MMAevent bout
|Another weight
|'Ard Enuff
|def.
|Go Fasta Red
|KO (Ork elbow)
|2
|2:49
|}} 
{{MMAevent bout
|Lots of weight
|Clumsy Bob
|def.
|Graceful Kelly
|TKO (Slipped, caught Kelly on the way down)
|1
|1:05
|}}
{{MMAevent end|notes=no}}

produces:

Preliminary (Facebook)
Weight class				Method	Round	Time	Notes
Another weight	'Ard Enuff	def.	Go Fasta Red	KO (Ork elbow)	2	2:49
Lots of weight	Clumsy Bob	def.	Graceful Kelly	TKO (Slipped, caught Kelly on the way down)	1	1:05

Event with notes

Often it's needed to add notes for a particular bout. To do this, put the notes as the last parameter in the template. They'll automatically be put in a list at the end of the event with a placeholder link at the end of the line for the bout. At the end of the event section, don't put any parameters on the {{MMAevent end}} template.

{{MMAevent}}
{{MMAevent card|Main event}}
{{MMAevent bout
|Another weight
|'Ard Enuff
|def.
|Go Fasta Red
|KO (Ork elbow)
|2
|2:49
|}} 
{{MMAevent bout
|Lots of weight
|Clumsy Bob
|def.
|Graceful Kelly
|TKO (Slipped, caught Kelly on the way down)
|1
|1:05
|Referee missed that Bob [[slapstick|slipped]] on [[banana peel]] thrown by fan}}
{{MMAevent end}}

produces:

Main event
Weight class				Method	Round	Time	Notes
Another weight	'Ard Enuff	def.	Go Fasta Red	KO (Ork elbow)	2	2:49
Lots of weight	Clumsy Bob	def.	Graceful Kelly	TKO (Slipped, caught Kelly on the way down)	1	1:05

Event with multiple cards

Some MMA events will have multiple cards. For these events, use {{MMAevent card}} to start each card, putting the bouts for that card under each.

{{MMAevent}}
{{MMAevent card|Main event}}
{{MMAevent bout
|Some weight
|Max von Maxi
|def.
|[[Joe Snuffitelli]]
|KO (boot to the head)
|1
|:30
|For the Wikipedia championship}}
{{MMAevent card|Preliminary (Facebook)}}
{{MMAevent bout

|2:49|}} 
{{MMAevent bout
|Lots of weight
|Clumsy Bob
|def.
|Graceful Kelly
|TKO (Slipped, caught Kelly on the way down)
|1
|1:05|}}
{{MMAevent end|notes=yes}}
