A lot of stuff on the wiki is automated using something called "Semantic MediaWiki" which encodes information into a database that is queryable in other places. So if we encode the current roster on one page, we can then query it elsewhere and display the information that was encoded in a new format. So {{Listplayer/Current}} encodes the information that's put into it as the team's current roster. {{Listplayer}} and {{Listplayersp}} don't. We ONLY want current players' information encoded, so it's important to use the two separate templates exactly as described above.
Usage with starting and ending templates
You MUST use {{Listplayer/Current}} with {{Listplayer/Current/Start}} and {{Listplayer/Current/End}}. IF YOU DO NOT USE THESE SISTER TEMPLATES, YOUR CODE WILL NOT WORK!!! See above for templates to use with former and organization. If you use current templates in the wrong place, everything will break!!!
Updating Pages[]
If a page is currently using {{Listplayer}} for everything, please do all of the following:
Add official Riot residency as the |res= argument (if unknown write |res=Unknown
Change |contractdate= to |contract= (syntax updated for future simplicity)
Remove the |{{{1}}} argument (this is no longer needed)
Ensure that no player uses the syntax of link{{!}}name and instead use the syntax |name|link=link
Good
Bad
|Amazing|link=Amazing (Maurice Stückenschneider)
|Amazing (Maurice Stückenschneider){{!}}Amazing
Optional but encouraged: update former players and organization sections manual table starts and ends to {{Listplayer/Start}} and {{Listplayer/End}}. If you use "current" outside of "current roster" you will break stuff so be careful!
Example[]
{{listplayer/Current/Start|res=yes|contract=yes}}

Additional Notes[]
The Semantic MediaWiki used in {{Listplayer/Current}} and its sister templates will only within the Main namespace (i.e. pages that don't start with Template: or User: or Category: etc.) That means you don't have to worry about causing problems from using this template within your user namespace.
