:: I added {{para|ranking_style|forpts}} which bolds the goals for column. I could have it unbold the points column, but the looking at the logic for {{para|ranking_style}} in the other cases, I would expect it to bold both. to selectively turn on and off bolding, we should have a different parameter for clarity. but, in this case, the ranking is first by points scored, and second by points, so it seems okay to have both bolded.

:::{{re|Frietjes}} Ok, great thank you! I will note that for this article, only head-to-head points is a tiebreaker. Therefore, the points column doesn't really need to be emphasized, but it's not a big deal if it requires too many changes for another parameter. [[User:S.A. Julio|S.A. Julio]] ([[User talk:S.A.

== Totals check ==
 
{{ping|Frietjes}} One other quick question: often this module will be used to show how teams rank from different groups, for example: [[UEFA Euro 2016#Ranking of third-placed teams]]. However, then the totals check will give a number of warnings when previewing an edit that the wins/losses, goals for/against, etc. do not total each other. Is there any way the totals check feature could be disabled when groups are present? Would be really appreciated if possible! Thanks, [[User:S.A. Julio|S.A. Julio]] ([[User talk:S.A.

:@[[User:S.A. Julio|S.A. Julio]] try adding {{para|notracking|yes}} to the table. [[User:Nthep|Nthep]] ([[User talk:Nthep|talk]]) 21:07, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
::{{re|Nthep}} The only issue is that there are hundreds of such tables, having a simpler way of disabling the totals check would be nice. I would say almost all tables with the 'group' column do not need a total check. [[User:S.A. Julio|S.A. Julio]] ([[User talk:S.A. Julio#top|talk]]) 21:17, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
:::The test to display total checks could be set to depend on either of the {{para|show_groups}} or {{para|notracking}} parameters without too much difficulty (I think). But there would need to be a way to allow total checks to be shown, if wanted, on tables with groups so the logic would need to allow that.
:::There's probably more investigation needed into how many tables there are that use groups and how many of those don't need total checks. [[User:Nthep|Nthep]] ([[User talk:Nthep|talk]]) 21:51, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
