This Lua-based module is meant to build match result tables. Note that this module is used extensively, so test potential changes rigorously in the sandbox and please ensure consensus exists before implementing major changes. Also note that the module is called from وحدة:Sports table and check for potential issues there as well after making changes. The rest of this documentation explains how to use this module in an article or template, check the table of contents for specific items.

The template can be used as follows:

Updated to match(es) played on 1 January 1900. Source: Wikipedia

The main command is {{#invoke:Sports results|main}}, which calls the module and sets the basic structure up. Then you list the order in which the teams are listed as |team1=, |team2=, etc for however many teams you need in the table. If you set |showteam= to a team, then that team's results are highlighted as in the example. The display of team names for team TTT is now governed by |name_TTT= and |short_TTT= for the row and column headers respectively. The results for the game TTT vs. SSS can now be input by |match_TTT_SSS=. The table is build this way, future games can be listed with their date or they can be left blank.

The source is controlled by |source=. The update date can be set by |update=date when the season is active; can be removed after the season with |update=complete and can be set for a future start date by using |update=future and setting the start date with |start_date=.

The width of the columns can be set by |match_col_width=.

Another example is:
