== Notes on column headers (e.g. Pts) ==

In the [[:Template:2018–19 Tahiti Ligue 1 table|2018–19 Tahiti Ligue 1 table]], which awards 4 points for a win, 2 points for a draw, 1 point for a defeat, I added a sentence so that the readers would be clear about the points system. But I think it would be aesthetically better if I can put this as a note next to the Pts column? Something like:

{| class="wikitable"

|-

!Pos!!Team!!Pld!!W!!D!!L!!GF!!GA!!GD!!Pts{{efn|4 points for a win, 2 points for a draw, 1 point for a defeat.}}!!Qualification or relegation

|}

{{notelist}}

And I can add the note using something like:

note_header_pts=4 points for a win, 2 points for a draw, 1 point for a defeat.

Also I think this may be helpful in the above discussions where many teams do not start with 0 points. We can just put all the starting points in this note and then there is no need for that extra column. What do you think? (pinging {{ping|Hhkohh|Frietjes|Sb008|S.A.

: For what you want, a parameter like "note_header_pts" would work. To use the same parameter to get a note indicating starting points, is not something I would prefer. This because the starting points are team specific and not, like in your case, a generic points rule. --[[User:Sb008|Sb008]] ([[User talk:Sb008|talk]]) 13:43, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

:: [[User:Chanheigeorge|Chanheigeorge]] and [[User:Sb008|Sb008]], the typical way to do this is with [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3A2018–19_Tahiti_Ligue_1_table&type=revision&diff=864162456&oldid=864154610 class_rules], which is aesthetically better than having the note at the top.

:::<s>Looks like using class rules is better to me</s> [[User:Hhkohh|Hhkohh]] ([[User talk:Hhkohh|talk]]) 14:16, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

::::But it is not a class rules? Also people in general do not read what is down at the bottom unless prompted. [[User:Chanheigeorge|Chanheigeorge]] ([[User talk:Chanheigeorge|talk]]) 14:19, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

:::::Also seems weird to me you can add a note to the "Qualification or relegation" column header with "{{para|note_header_res}}", but adding a note to another column header is viewed as not aesthetically good.

::::::{{u|Frietjes}} After I review that edit and above comments, maybe we should really add that parameter to make more sense [[User:Hhkohh|Hhkohh]] ([[User talk:Hhkohh|talk]]) 14:56, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

:::::::{{ping|Frietjes}} Nowadays people are reading Wikipedia on their tablets and smartphones, do you think some small prints at the bottom of the table is enough? [[User:Chanheigeorge|Chanheigeorge]] ([[User talk:Chanheigeorge|talk]]) 15:03, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

:::::::: you (1) want a footnote at the bottom of the table for the notes, which are always in small print, (2) you think that the notes should be at the top in large print. good luck making up your mind, I have better things to do.

::::::::{{u|Chanheigeorge}}, for me just leave it at the bottom is better [[User:Hhkohh|Hhkohh]] ([[User talk:Hhkohh|talk]]) 15:24, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
