Templates are not the way to go here.

Do we really need a template? Templates like this are best used for things that remain constant across multiple articles, like the Intro to quizbowl template. Seeing that this template is currently being used for the "2013-14 HSQBRank" article, I assume that means there will also be a 2014-15 one and a 2015-16, and so on. We can't use this same template there, because then we'd be updating the 13-14 article with incorrect info. It's harder to edit, too. (I had to type in the template name in the search bar to get access to this.) I really think the table should just be moved to the main article, with this template page being deleted entirely. Alternatively, if we want to be ambitious here, we can go for an infobox template, kind of like what Wikipedia has going here, in which we can just fill out some details and let the template do the rest.

Haha I figured that there could be a template out there just in case anybody wanted to post it else where on the wiki, which apparently isn't the case--Zachary Yan (talk) 10:42, 13 December 2013 (PST)

So is it alright if we just move it to the main article? Alex Liu (talk) 12:40, 14 December 2013 (PST)

Someone should go through and check the highest ranks for each team.--Fred Morlan (talk) 16:28, 3 May 2014 (PDT)
