Usage
This template is designed to collect information, which is used in several articles, in one location. The 2016 Major League Soccer season tables are shown on the overall season article, as well as the articles for each conference, if not other pages as well. This template should replace the need to update the same information on several articles.
In article
To add this table to an article, type {{2016 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table}}.
Editing
Until the season starts, the order of teams and the |update = and |start_date= parameters should not be changed. Once the season starts, remove the |start_date= parameter and set |update= to the appropriate date.
During season
After each match, update the table and ensure the order of teams and the |update= parameter are also updated. For example:
| What you type | {{#invoke:Sports table|main|style=football
|update=30 October 2014 |source=EM EL ESS
|teamwidth=200
|team1=BBB |team2=CCC |team3=DDD |team4=AAA
|result1=1st |result2=CSF |result3=PO
|win_AAA=0 |draw_AAA=0 |loss_AAA=2 |gf_AAA=4 |ga_AAA=7 |status_AAA=
|win_BBB=2 |draw_BBB=0 |loss_BBB=0 |gf_BBB=9 |ga_BBB=1 |status_BBB=
|win_CCC=1 |draw_CCC=1 |loss_CCC=0 |gf_CCC=4 |ga_CCC=3 |status_CCC=
|win_DDD=0 |draw_DDD=1 |loss_DDD=1 |gf_DDD=2 |ga_DDD=8 |status_DDD=
|res_col_header=Q
|col_1st=green1 |text_1st=[[2016 MLS Cup Playoffs|Conference Semi-finals]] & [[2017–18 CONCACAF Champions League]]
|note_res_1st=If the conference champion is from Canada, then the best American team qualifies directly to the CONCACAF Champions League
|col_CSF=green2 |text_CSF=[[2016 MLS Cup Playoffs|Conference Semi-finals]]
|col_PO=green3 |text_PO=[[2016 MLS Cup Playoffs|Knockout round]]

|
To change the order of the teams, set |team1= to the team in first place in the conference, |team2= to the team in second place, etc. The order of data entry does not need to be changed. The status of a team can also be set during the season if the outcome is known:
- If a team will definitely advance to the conference semi-finals, set
|status=A - If a team will definitely finish sixth or better, set
|status=T - If a team will definitely finish seventh or lower, set
|status=E - Otherwise, set
|status=
After season complete
When the season is complete, set |update=complete and clear |status= for all teams.
Display options
Smaller table
If a smaller displayed table is desired, the parameter |only_pld_pts= can be defined in the template call to display only the position, team, games played, and points columns. This display may be desired if displaying both conference tables side-by-side. Valid values of |only_pld_pts= to display a truncated table are 1, yes, y, true, and t. For example:
| What you type | {{2016 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table|only_pld_pts=true}}
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Display on team articles
Smaller sections of the table can be placed in team articles |showteam= and |show_limit= parameters. Use the abbreviation for the team that is used in the code, e.g. DCU for D.C. United, and the number of teams you wish to display – note that even numbers will be increased to an odd number to show symmetry in the table. For example:
| What you type | {{2016 Major League Soccer Eastern Conference table|showteam=DCU|show_limit=5}}
