:: {{u|AFC Vixen}} okay, now fixed. [[User:Frietjes|Frietjes]] ([[User talk:Frietjes|talk]]) 15:23, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

== Is there a way to create a version of this template that uses the word "games"? ==
I note the footer that refers to the standings being updated through "match(es)" played on a particular date. I know that word is common in soccer parlance. It's less common as to various other sports. What prompts me to raise the issue is the new [[2023 NBA In-Season Tournament]], which will (uniquely for North American pro sports leagues) use a group stage. A version of this template is therefore in use in that article, but it uses the word "match(es)" and I'm trying to figure out how to change it to the more-appropriate word "game(s)." If anyone can explain what to do, I would appreciate the help! Thanks in advance. [[User:1995hoo|1995hoo]] ([[User talk:1995hoo|talk]]) 21:46, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
:Yeah, U.S. leagues use "games" instead of "matches". Yes "matches" can be perfectly understood, but "games" are more natural. See for example "[[Games behind]]". [[User:Howard the Duck|Howard the Duck]] ([[User talk:Howard the Duck|talk]]) 11:33, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
::The functionality is already there. There's a parameter called {{para|matches_text}} which defaults to matches, just set it to <code>|matches_text=games</code> and it will solve the issue for you. [[User:Nthep|Nthep]] ([[User talk:Nthep|talk]]) 11:51, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
:::Thanks very much! That indeed did the job. Much appreciated. [[User:1995hoo|1995hoo]] ([[User talk:1995hoo|talk]]) 18:44, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
