General

Both [[square braces]] and '''triple quotes''' work to bold the subject of a page - though some older pages use square braces, triple quotes is likely simpler.

Categories should appear at the bottom of the page. The c template is a shorthand for writing categories.

Player pages

Infobox

In general, most players should have infoboxes (opt-out). The ib template provides a convenient shorthand.

Years active

Players should have all their years active at a given institution listed in their infobox. This should include all years the player was active - for instance, if a player played for their school from the fall of 2018 to the spring of 2021, their infobox should say (2018-2021).

The "(highschool/middleschool) Player active in (year)" categories should be used as well. The year specified by this template is the end of the competition year, so the "Player active in 2014" categories indicates that a player was active in the 2013-2014 competition year. This distinction is outlined in each of the category pages.

The active, activehs, and activems templates are useful shorthands.
