Use of goals parameters for red / yellow cards
[edit]There are semi-regular discussions on on WT:FOOTY about the use of |goals1/2= to show match details other than goals (i.e. red / yellow cards). Some examples are here, here and here. I have therefore added a note to the documentation to warn editors that use in this way may be controversial. Feel free to discuss here or there. Spike 'em (talk) 12:51, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- There's an example of {{yel}} being used this way in the template's documentation, along with instructions that it should be done. Those instructions have been present since the documentation was completed in 2009. I'm not advocating for or against it, but if you don't want people to use it that way, reaching a consensus to change the documentation is probably necessary, since it's been that way for 17 years. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:28, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
Bold links
[edit]Team1 and team2 are in bold. This fails MOS:BOLDBOLD, especially if the team name is a self link. Please remove the bold — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 08:56, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
Footnotes
[edit]Coming from discussion at WP:VPT#Duplicated footnote, is using |note= instead of a footnote always best practice? Is the issue reported there a bug or intended behavior with the template? LittlePuppers (talk) 21:38, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Why isn't apart of the Football Box template? Yeahimaboss413 (talk) 12:15, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- It is not recorded in most similar match summaries in press reports. Spike 'em (talk) 16:51, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- I get and understand that, but it seems to be a notable player stat. Yeahimaboss413 (talk) 21:33, 15 September 2026 (UTC)
