You shrunk the squad too much so I reset so it is now to the standard size of squad templates like Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham.
A reserve squad template sounds like a good idea.
I also fixed an error where there was a } next to Joleon Lescott.
Vidarsson is off both the reserve and first team squad lists on the official site. This could be an error on their part but I am keeping it up to date with that (hence also removing David Weir for now) —Preceding unsigned comment added by SenorKristobbal (talk • contribs)
:You're welcome to change things like size and so on, but please be careful, your edits caused breakage across every page that includes the box. The |} after Lescott is the result of a Wikipedia shortcoming regarding the <noinclude> directive, it doesn't appear when the template is used on a page. ⁂veila# 09:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
The only thing that happened was the box is right at the bottom (i.e. below profile at the side) This is standard for all teams so use fb start/end templates only cause the box to be harder to read and stop it being standard (like Liverpool, Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea , etc.)

Stop shrinking the template. I fail to see how it is "broken" and if it is fix it by keeping it standard size and stop shrinking it as it is hard to read and non-standard. Other things I have done to the template were removed for being none standard so I don't see why you should be any different. SenorKristobbal 12:50, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I'm not sure what simply adding the fb start/end templates does to the squad templates. I don't think there's any need to use them unless they make noticeable improvements. My original squad template was a change of use of :Template:Arsenal F.C. which doesn't use the fb start/end things either.
Template:England Squad 2006 World Cup has been changed to a more standardised input thingy. I do quite like it, but it has two faults:
- The blank spaces around the flag is wider than usual. (See Owen Hargreaves for an example)
- It's limited to 23 players.
I'm not sure, but I think it may be possible to create one of indefinite length for club squads.
Some clubs squads have new players without assigned squad numbers, and I would say there's no need for logos or flags on the club templates.
I've noticed that the german version (:de:Vorlage:Navigationsleiste Kader des FC Arsenal) uses no club colours, no squad numbers, and a pointless open/close button. It is, however, a standardised format, (not just for football squads) which could be a good idea.

Yes pretty much what I'm saying. I've reverted back to my old template with improvements suggested: Everton F.C link fixed, | next to Lescott gone and I also fixed the end so it doesn't merge with other parts of the article (I think this is what you meant by breaking but you weren't 100% clear). All adding fb does to it is squash it and as Slumgum says theres need to use them unless they make noticeable improvements. I also removed the flag and emblem before even reading this Slumgum comment as I also think there isn't really a need for them.
As for the German standard idea I doubt people would like a lack of numbers and colours. You could get around the numbers thing by staying with standards (perhaps using Tim Cahill|17. Cahill but I'm not sure about colours. SenorKristobbal 20:10, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
