{{Olympic events sidebar}} is a base template for a series of navigational sidebars for articles on Olympic disciplines, designed to replace the aged Summer Olympics by year and Winter Olympics by year navigational sidebar series. The base template offers a simple, modern design that mimics the style of {{Infobox Olympic event}}, the infobox template in which {{Olympic events sidebar}} is designed to sit underneath. It offers a graphical representation of the Olympic discipline(s) featured, and a link to the discipline's article on Wikipedia. Its various sub-templates use {{#switch}} parser functions and collapsible lists to keep the sidebar short and not intrusive on the article's content, such as center-aligned tables and thumbnail images, while at the same time allowing just one template to be used for an entire discipline's Olympic history, rather than a separate template for each and every year the discipline was featured at an Olympics, unlike the predecessor Summer Olympics by year and Winter Olympics by year series did.

Parameters edit
| Parameter | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
events
|
Presents the list of events for a specified discipline in a collapsed format. | The input for the collapsed list of events of a discipline specified by the sport parameter at a games specified by the games parameter. The {{#switch}} parser function is used in the exact same way as used in the games parameter, which is {{#switch:{{{1}}}| }}. The input for the parser function is similar, but this time the input is the year followed by a formatted list of events. See the below example for more details.

games

Activates wikilinks to relevant articles in the headline, harmonious with sport
|
Sets the year of the Olympics and whether or not it is a Summer, Winter, Summer Youth, or Winter Youth Olympics. The {{#switch}} parser function is used to make this parameter work; the code {{#switch:{{{1}}}| }} is inputted to the games parameter and a combination of a year and an Olympic games type is inputted to the {{#switch}} parser function. For example, if the sub-template has a list for events at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the events parameter, input 2012 = 2012 Summer into the parser function. This allows the sub-template's input for the year and the Olympic type to be simply called by inputting the year only. See relevant sub-template documentation for further details.

sport
