Does it have to be a page about a season?[edit]

Several smaller, new or minor leagues like Major League Rugby, American Basketball Association and National Lacrosse League have cancelled or postponed their seasons this year, but they don't have individual pages about the seasons. At least not yet. I've added the category to the MLR page but I'm afraid it sticks out like a sore thumb. Anybody have any objections to putting the category on the league page itself if there is a prominent citation announcing the suspension on the page? User:Kire1975 21:15, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kire1975 My suggestion- and I've done it myself for a few events, is to create a redirect from the season to main article, and add this category to the redirect i.e. 2020 National Lacrosse League, 2020 Major League Rugby. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:44, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate title for the category[edit]

Some of these were curtailed, but not cancelled: others are, at least for now, postponed, with the hope of them being rescheduled. This title is not suitable for the events that are being put into it. Kevin McE (talk) 18:51, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

More subcategories?[edit]

There are currently subcategories for three sports, but there could be more - ice hockey and cycling, for examples, have many articles which could move to a subcat for the sport - should we look to do that? Happy to set some new ones up. --Bcp67 (talk) 08:21, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cycling, ice hockey and basketball all have a number of articles, so would be good candidates for separate categories in my opinion. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:42, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply, I'll add some more subcategories. --Bcp67 (talk) 14:07, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've created a few more subcats, where we had more than about 20 articles for a sport. Possibly we need one for athletics, or maybe just marathons too. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:24, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
