I think 'Heart of Midlothian' and 'Hibernian' should be used as they ARE they official names of the clubs. --

No-one's denying that; however, the full names are seldom used by the public. Heart of Midlothian is invariably shortened to Hearts and Hibernian to Hibs. I think they're more useful - and far less wordy - in their shortened, common form.

your point is well put however this is an encyclopaedia. Could we please stick to the facts. Hibernian and Heart of Midlothian is proper.

On the contrary, I'm offering a suggestion that's far more likely to be useful in an encyclopedic sense. The object of the template is to provide the information as a quick-reference - the articles themselves can go into the naming detail.
Erath 09:21, 17 November 2005 (UTC)reply
can't argue with that. Hibs and Hearts it is then

Use of fair use images
As clubs' logos are
copyrighted with no free licence, their use in Wikipedia is subject to the
Fair use policy. The relevant guideline states:
9. Fair use images should only be used in the article namespace. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages.
Therefore I've removed the logos from this template. Please do not replace them.

Change to SPL seasons
Rather than link to football in every Scottish division for each season, I've created pages for 2006/07 and 2005/06 for the SPL. Could others make similar pages for previous seasons? Table data
here.

Suggested change
Can I suggest that this template be broken into to separate templates? Since this template links to all the top-flight season articles I would suggest that it be changed to just include that, following examples of the templates for
Allsvenskan seasons (Sweden) and
Tippeligaen seasons (Norway). Then creating a separate new template for the Scottish Premier League which would include the former teams, SPL league seasons (1998 to 2013) and all the related pages such as
List of Scottish Premier League stadiums (included at the bottom of the existing template). CalUmbra 09:55, 25 July 2013 (UTC)reply

Agreed: Nothing is gained by the unnecessary longer name on the template.

Support - yep, template name should match the article name.
