When I add a qualifying parameter like <code>|note_header_res=</code> to a table this generates a footnote equivalent to using {{tl|efn}} ({{tl|efn-la}}). Is it possible to vary the footnote style to allow the use of {{tl|efn-ua}}? The reason being that when the module is used in a page or a template it is often desirable to keep the footnotes relating to the table with the table rather than in the article general footnotes. Unless any general footnotes in the article are set to use {{tl|efn-ua}} then they get mixed. I know changing the footnote style for an article is an easy option but enforcing it in articles which are likely to be edited by less experienced editors is more difficult that making the swap in the table which is likely to be edited by fewer people. As an example see [[Super League XXVI]] where the table is a transcluded template with footnotes and to keep the footnotes from the article appearing in the same notelist the article has to use {{tl|efn-ua}} and {{tl|notelist-ua}}.

:Further, it seems like this template emits {{tl|notelist-ua}} which resets the footnotes for the rest of the article -- expected footnotes defined before this template invocation are reset, leaving them undefined when used later in the article. How can that be prevented? See [[2020–21 Atlético Madrid season]] for the article, and {{diff||1017682630|1017461925|the fix I had to make}}. -- [[User:Mikeblas|Mikeblas]] ([[User talk:Mikeblas|talk]]) 03:03, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

== Soccer Leagues with Playoffs ==

Since there are many European leagues with playoffs currently (including the 9th and 10th leagues on UEFA rankings - [[2020–21_Belgian_First_Division_A]] and [[2020–21_Austrian_Football_Bundesliga]]), where the first tiebreaker is actually wether teams points were rounded, there seems to be a need for a new optional column for soccer standing.

I suggest adding it as either points without rounding (i.e. 25.5 in the case of Rapid Wien), or just the rounding itself (i.e. -0.5, 0 or 0.5).

Currently the solution for these scenarios are very wordy and not approachable for the reader:
