Team Templates

From Liquipedia Hub Wiki


Team Templates are broadly used on Liquipedia. Whenever a team attends an event, or is mentioned in general, it's likely a team template will be used for that.

This page aims to assist you on how to create them, as well as how to use them.

Creating a team template

[edit]

To create a team template you will need the following:

  • The team's name
    • Do not include the game name in team names; e.g. Team Liquid VALORANT should just be Team Liquid
    • All team templates should be in Latin script (where possible), and without special characters; e.g. *, =, &, !, %
    • In case a team name is too long, you should set a shorter name version (recommended up to 15 characters) in the Bracket Display Name field
  • The team's short name
    • Short names are also commonly called team tags
    • They usually have between 1 to 5 letters
    • Some of our wikis have unique standards for short name. For example, making sure all team short names consist of 3 uppercased letters
  • The team's logo uploaded on Commons (please check our File Standards before uploading)
    • This should consistent of one logo with support for both light and dark themes, or two logos for each theme individually
