BTCC Wiki:Table Symbols

Within the BTCC Wiki, we use a number of symbols in articles to help both improve the look of tables and make them easier to read. This page contains an explanation of each of those symbols, as well as their associated templates.

Race Templates

Should you be editing, or reading, about a BTCC driver's racing career, then the table below contains the symbols you may be needing to complete it. These are used, primarily, to keep the Table Width from exceeding 700 pixels (though this, of course, is sometimes unavoidable) and are explained below.

Race Templates
Symbol	{{Template}}	Name	Explanation
N	{{DNE}}	Did Not Enter	If a driver failed to attend an event in a season in which they had (or would later) compete in, then the result for that race may be shown with this template.
bgcolor="white" style="color:black; font-size:90%; border-radius:5px;"|DNS	{{DNS}}	Did Not Start	Should a driver have entered a race and qualified, but failed to start, then this template should be used.
bgcolor="black" style="color:white; font-size:90%; border-radius:5px;"|DSQ	{{DNS}}	Disqualified	If a driver is disqualified from a race, then this template is to be used
bgcolor="Purple" style="color:white; border-radius:7px;"|NC	{{NC}}	Not Classified	When a driver finishes a race, but has neither retired or completed the full race distance (ie not been given a finishing position) then this template may be used.
R	{{R}}	Retired	This template is to show that a driver retired from the listed race.
WD	{{WD}}	Withdrew	If a driver withdrew from a race meeting, then this template is appropriate

Class Templates

Essential for both driver and season pages, Class Templates are used to convey which class a driver competed in, in a given season. As the BTCC has used different class structures and regulations at different times, each Class will have to be explained (in individual season articles).

Class Templates
Symbol	{{Template}}	Name	Explanation
bgcolor="#E52525" rowspan="2" style="border-radius:5px; color:white;"|A	{{A}}	Class A	If a driver entered a race using a car that was classified for that season (generally between 1958 and 1990) as a Class A car, then this template is to be used.

C	{{Constructor}}	Constructor	If a driver entered a race using a car that was classified for that season (generally from 1990) as a Constructor run car, then this template is to be used.
I	{{Independent}}	Independent	If a driver entered a race using a car that was classified for that season (generally from 1990) as an Independently run car, then this template is to be used.

S2000	{{S2000}}	Super 2000	Cars built from 1991 until 2013 may have been built to Super 2000 specifications.

Flagicons

The BTCC Wiki also uses Flagicons, a system of templates which allows a specific flag to be displayed to show a driver's (or car or team) country of origin. This list will be added to when a flag is required.

Flagicon Templates
Flagicon	{{Template}}	Name	Explanation
	{{AUS}}	Australia	Australian national flag.
	{{BEL}}	Belgium	Belgian national flag.
	{{BRA}}	Brazil	The Brazilian national flag.
	{{CHE}}	Switzerland	Swiss national flag.
	{{FRA}}	France	French national flag.
	{{FIN}}	Finland	The Finnish national flag.
	{{GBR}}	Great Britain	British national flag.
	{{GER}}	Germany	German national flag
	{{IND}}	India	Indian national flag.
	{{IRE}}	Ireland	Irish national flag.

	{{TUR}}	Turkey	The national flag of Turkey.
	{{USA}}	United States of America	American national flag.
	{{FL?}}	Flag Unknown	Should a driver's nationality be unknown, then this template should be used.

For circuits, it is preferable (as all races take place within the British Isles) to use the national flags of each of the UKs nations.
