Todo list: edit · history · watch · purge Here are some tasks you can do: Requests: Average (sports) (crucial article explaining the concept, nomenclature, math; redir to it from Average (sport); use Batting average as starting point for ideas) Cleanup: Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state) Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) Skeleton (sport) (bizarre tone which could do with some copyediting) Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show." Other: Assess: newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status. Split: Cross-training into Cross-training and Cross-training (business); Hockey puck into Puck (sports) (w/ Puck (sport) redir) and Hockey puck (and update Puck DAB page) Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project Photographs for pages listed in Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of sports and games, Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Society#Sport and referenced categories.

What do the NBA and other sports have to do with the NHL? Also, we should add a link to the World Cup of Hockey.--Sonjaaa 04:11, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Standardization

I'm working on standardizing the various major North American leagues into a standard template, for the ease of viewing. As a result, I've been taking ideas from one and transplanting them to others. Here, I modified the box to break the teams down into divisions, like in the NBA box. I think it makes it easier to find teams, organized by division. Feel free to leave comments. -- Kermitmorningstar 06:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Margin

The template needs a margin so that when templates are placed successively on pages such as the NHL page that there is a minimal amount of space between them. The alternative to include the space in the mage but that leaves too much space, and is usually cleaned up when people make changes with AWB, etc. -- Jeff3000 21:53, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Division vs. Alphabetical

I think we should change the box so its more like the other league boxes. Put the teams in by division instead of putting them in alphabetically. Agreed? Disagreed?Portlygrub 11:06, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. The Trophies and Defunct teams sections should also be included as a single link at the bottom of the template (and maybe moved into their own templates) like the other three major sport templates {{NFL}}, {{MLB}}, and {{NBA}}... Paul^C/_T+ 07:22, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

1. Moved individual trophies/awards to {{NHLawards}} and replaced with link to awards page. Y Done
2. Moved defunct teams to {{NHLdefunct}} and replaced with link to defunct page. Y Done
3. Converted to new {{Navbox with columns}} template and implemented same format/color scheme as {{NFL}}, {{MLB}}, and {{NBA}}. Y Done
I also added a link to the WHA, but I believe that was the only change I made (unless I lost track). There are a few issues with the new {{Navbox with columns}}, such as I am not happy with the way I placed the Conferences, but the template does not allow a title to span more than one column (as of yet). Please feel free to add/delete/revert and provide feed back. Regards.--Old Hoss 18:40, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conference colours

Aren't the Conference colours reversed? Red is Eastern and West is blue. --Hasek is the best 02:55, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links

Should the links for each individual team link to the respective current season? Jmlk17 19:29, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Add one more item

Hey I created a new page on the NHL YoungStars Game I am just wondering if you want to place it in the template. 13:41, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question about template use

Hi. Just a quick note - doing minor tweaks to a couple of related articles - 1924-25 NHL season and 1981-82 NHL season, I noticed this template at the end. All well and good, but it seems to appear on those articles as 'National Hockey League (2007-2008)'. I don't know if this is intended, or some weird side effect of templates - but it looks odd to have an article about the sport in the 1920s apparently using a template which is related to the 2000s... CultureDrone (talk) 22:37, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I do agree. I think the template would suffice without a date in the header. Flibirigit (talk) 18:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] East - West

Wouldn't it be logical to have Western Conference on the left, and the Eastern Conference to the right? I mean, that's how it appears on a map. LarRan (talk) 20:28, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Hmm ... I guess that would make sense, but I guess I don't mind either way. - Rjd0060 (talk) 20:52, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] One more interwiki

Hello. Can anyone user make interwiki link to fi:Malline:NHL? Thanks. --Nurtsio (talk) 18:31, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
