Template:StandingsStart/doc

Code Explanation
In the  template, you will specify: These arguments can be anything supported by the template Color.
 * Unnamed Argument, the title of the chart (defaults to Season Standings)
 * through, where   is the total number of teams in the league
 * through, where   is the total number of teams in the league (only specify to denote clinching, otherwise leave blank)

All line templates first take an unnamed argument which is the team. Each template then has a unique set of arguments that follow.

Here's an explanation of each argument:

Placement Color and Background Color
The arguments  through   and   through   create the background colors for the place number and for the rest of the line (pl for place and bg for background). The color of the place should be the color corresponding to the final placement of the team that's in that slot, while the background color is the minimum extreme either up or down that the team has clinched. At the end of the season, all backgrounds should be filled in.

The colors available are listed at Color. Some colors there are for usage in prize pools and are not intended for use with this template. Contact a wiki administrator or staff member if you have any questions about what colors should be used.

Adding a Legend
If you wish to add a legend to your code, then add: |legend=true And then add the text that you want the legend to be, one line per color used in the placement backgrounds.

The code used to generate the above is: 

Your choice of line does not affect how to create a legend.
