| Beta | This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected. | 
|  | To test changes, please do so at Module:PHL sports team/PBA/sandbox first, and then implement them here. | 
This is the data module used by Module:PHL sports team.
Data structure edit source
Most lines will be of the following form:
["TEAM CODE"] = {"Team full name", "Team short name"},
For teams whose article is disambiguated:
["TEAM CODE"] = {"Team full name", "Team short name", dab="Disambiguated title"},
For teams with multiple or historical names (where Template:Code represents the 4-digit start year and Template:Code represents the 4-digit end year):
["TEAM CODE"] = {"Team full name", "Team short name",
  ["XXXXthruYYYY"] = "Name 1",
  ["XXXXthruYYYY"] = "Name 2",
  ["XXXXthruYYYY"] = "Name 3",
  ..
  ["XXXXthruYYYY"] = "Name n",
},
Aliasing – a team having more than one code is also supported:
["ALIAS CODE"] = "TEAM CODE",
Trailing comma in each element is significant.
Advanced structure edit source
Template:Code must match to the team's article title. For case of disambiguation, for example:
ALA = {"Alaska Aces", "Alaska", dab = "PBA"},"
Sample demo: Template:Demo-inline Instead of linking to ambiguous article Alaska Aces, the Template:Code parameter will appropriately link it to Alaska Aces (PBA).
