:I just put it back because without it some tables in articles like [[England at the UEFA European Championship|this]] won't show up properly. [[User:Mediocre Legacy|Mediocre Legacy]] ([[User talk:Mediocre Legacy|talk]]) 19:01, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
:: {{ping|Mediocre Legacy}} no idea what you are talking about, the [[England_at_the_UEFA_European_Championship#UEFA_Euro_2012:_Poland–Ukraine|UEFA Euro 2012]] tables in that article are showing up just fine. [[User:Frietjes|Frietjes]] ([[User talk:Frietjes|talk]]) 22:24, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
== What's the difference between status letters "A" and "Q"? ==
And "T" as well. Presumably "Q" and "T" should be together, but never "A" and "T". Is that right? [[User:Howard the Duck|Howard the Duck]] ([[User talk:Howard the Duck|talk]]) 22:43, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
:Fairly semantic between A and Q. The next match might not be another round but could be another tournament altogether. T is for when you know the team have qualified for something but not sure what. For example, rugby league in the UK has post-season play-offs. The stage at which a club might start the play-offs depends on where they finish in the regular season. T is the status used when we know they will definitely make the play-offs but, as yet, not sure which bit of it they will start at.

::I reason I asked this is there's a dispute on what to use between A and Q. I'd argue that if there's a T, Q should be exclusively used, and if there's no confusion on what the "next round" should be, use A.

:::That sounds context specific and not something where there is a 100% definite answer. [[User:Nthep|Nthep]] ([[User talk:Nthep|talk]]) 07:56, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
::::Okay; there should be guidance on this. FWIW, I've noticed that A is used if all teams are competing for the same set of berths on the next round (like FIFA World Cup teams in the group stages all gunning for a knockout stage berth), while Q and T if there are several types of berths, or if some teams wins byes or has an easier path to the title, or advance to a more prestigious competition based on its seeding (like in the UEFA Champions League where a team can advance to the knockout stage, to the Europa League, or be eliminated altogether).
::::This is not always clear-cut and there it should be distinguished when we should use Q/T and A. [[User:Howard the Duck|Howard the Duck]] ([[User talk:Howard the Duck|talk]]) 22:17, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
