Details edit
These examples are for a proposed new template, based on {{nft}} / {{nfa}}.
The aim is to add a shortcut to give link to national cricket teams, in a similar way to {{cr}} but without the flags! These will probably be best used with {{subst}} rather that left in situ. See WT:CRIC#Infobox_question
Aim would be to mover User:Spike 'em/sandbox/Tcrtl to {{crtl}} and User:Spike 'em/sandbox/Tcrtl/code to {{crtl/code}} and hence in the below any occurrence of User:Spike 'em/sandbox/Tcrtl would be replaced with crtl.
