color:inherit needed to accompany more background-colors
[edit]When | match_BOD_LIL = 0–4 is rendered at 2004 Tippeligaen, it renders as style="white-space:nowrap;font-weight:normal;background: #FBB;". Can someone please edit this module to add color:inherit; to this style declaration? Background colors without colors cause Linter errors. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:39, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
Winning percentage requests
[edit]- For the entire column not to be boldfaced. Standings tables that use this typically don't boldface it. See NBA, ESPN, NPb, PBA, NBL (scroll down) etc.
- Allow for customizable ways to denote "percentages"; most use .###, but some use ##.##% and ##.## (without "%"). See also [[#Winning percentage four digits above]

Accessibility problems
[edit]Looking at e.g. 2017 OFC Champions League, this module seems to be violating MOS:NOTOOLTIPS by producing table headers like "Pld" which are unintelligible without hovering over the text. The majority of readers, roughly speaking, are on mobile devices and cannot hover. -- Beland (talk) 01:47, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
Abbreviations are exempt from these requirements, so the
This module uses{{abbr}}template (a wrapper for the<abbr>element) may be used to indicate the long form of an abbreviation (including an acronym or initialism).<abbr>tags to generate the headers, so it is exempt. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 15:14, 1 November 2025 (UTC)- Hmm, this exception seems to have been designed in 2011 with screenreaders in mind, not mobile devices which have since become a lot more popular. I've started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Abbreviations and hover about changing it. -- Beland (talk) 09:00, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
Two teams in the same position
[edit]Please add an example of how I should insert rowspan=2 into the table. For example, when two teams finish together in 3rd place. Thanks, Maiō T. (talk) 14:36, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
- I'd just use
|pos_XXX=3=and|pos_YYY=3=for this purpose. (Sometimes the "=" is not necessary.) Howard the Duck (talk) 14:48, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know that trick. But a double, shared cell with one number would look better. Never mind, maybe later... Maiō T. (talk) 15:52, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
Dashes instead of zeros
[edit]Hello, please see the second sports table in this section. How could those two zeros in 23rd row be replaced with mdashes? Maiō T. (talk) 20:55, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
- Why should they? Tvx1 09:20, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Because now it says that Malta earned 0 points. But Malta didn't play at all. So they earned — points. This style looks more logical. Maiō T. (talk) 09:42, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- If they didn't play, why are they even in the table? Nthep (talk) 21:51, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Possibly ignored parameters
[edit]@Frietjes: I believe you worked on the parameter tracking for this module, I was wondering if there is any way to not add pages to Category:Pages using sports table with possibly ignored parameters when the #switch parser function is used (for templates containing multiple tables)? For example {{2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup group tables}}, which causes that page and 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup to end up in the tracking category for using the {{{1}}} parameter. Thanks! S.A.
