As I am in jersey making mode, it would be wise if you have any requests to quickly get them on my talk page, as I don't like making jerseys really, and only make them in batches. So if you miss me now, you'll probably have to wait until this time next year for me to create them. Hope you like these anyways.  The Windler talk  08:50, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

They look great SW, well done. LunarLander // talk // 15:46, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Club Infobox Consensus

I think we need a discussion to decide on the correct infobox to use for clubs. Some pages such as Wigan Warriors are using {{Infobox rugby league team}}, whilst others such as St Helens RLFC are using {{Infobox rugby league club}}.

I think the {{Infobox rugby league club}} looks a bit dated, it looks old and ugly, there is also too much information such as the years all the championships were won, the infobox should be a quick high level overview of the club, more detailed information should be contained within the article. For example the infobox should just list the number of premierships/minors/cup competitions won etc, if the user then wants to know exact year they where won they should navigate to the honours section within the article.

Personally I prefer the {{Infobox rugby league team}}, it looks a lot more contemporary, fresh and clean, it also fits in with the existing wiki style that is used by for the content box on the top left of article pages. It is also a similar style to the infobox {{Infobox Football club}} used for football clubs such as Liverpool F.C.

I think we should review the template and update/add any new fields, maybe bring the template in line with the new look and feel of the {{Infobox rugby league team season}} infobox that is used on season articles such as 2010 Widnes Vikings season so that we have some style consistency between articles?

--VikingJohn (talk) 09:00, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

The only reason St Helens and Widnes have those infoboxes is because they have images for kits (i.e. ones that SpecialWindler has made.) If he can be persuaded to mass make Super League jerseys then this infobox should and would become more common, but it's a lot to do (both NRL and Super League as well as State of Origin and internationals).

I agree with what you say John, in that the ones seen on SL articles are very old and somewhat aesthetically unattractive. However, the "years" part of the honours section of these boxes are used on all NRL articles if I'm not mistaken, including Sydney Roosters (featured article.) Therefore, I think this part should remain, as well as the fact that I personally find it useful.

Thanks,

Ymron (talk) 09:11, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm up for making ones that are simple, with lines, etc. If you provide all the ones you want me to make with links of the pictures on my talk page. The last jerseys I'll be making this year will be just after Heritage Round in the NRL. The Widnes 2010 one I made above will probably the most complex one I will do. But you can place links on my talk page anyway.  The Windler talk  11:21, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

So could I post links of all jerseys in Super League, and you pick and choose which ones you can do?

Ymron (talk) 11:27, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Thats OK. Though preferably on my talk page, with a format similar to this:

Broncos 2010 Home Away

Titans 2010 Home Away Heritage

Cowboys 2010 Home Away

 The Windler talk  12:36, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

If only the ability to place jersey images is desired, then why not translate the code across from one template to the other? You can't argue a template that's only used on two articles should be used because it will be more popular in the future. We're not crystal gazers, and it's better to have one flexible template than two rigid templates. GW(talk) 13:35, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

That sounds a good idea.

u20s squads

i have added u20s squads to the broncos, warriors and storm and so far my broncos one has been removed what i want to know is should they be listed on team pages or somewhere else i think that it should be kept on team pages or instead on the National Youth Competition page just want to know others thoughts on this Youndbuckerz (talk) 11:17, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

In the context of clubs as a whole, which encyclopedia (not news) articles like Brisbane Broncos are about, the list of miscellaneous redlinks who happen to be playing in the Toyota Cup (which, in my opinion, is less notable than senior competitions like the Queensland Cup or New South Wales Cup) at the moment are not at all notable enough. My suggestion is that they go somewhere down the bottom of club's season articles if there's consensus to include them at all (related discussion here).--Jeff79 (talk) 11:58, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

The Broncos list just looks like a long line of redlinked names to me. Couldn't you at least make it a 2col or 3col meaningless list and spare me the pain of scrolling ? -Sticks66 13:22, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

AMNRL Squads

I am in the process of updating 2010 teams if someone could help me that would be nice but dont delete any of the players that are added to the squads as i am finding out through twitter. It looks like Daniel Wagon will be coming in May http://www.hometeamsonline.com/teams/?u=astonbulls&s=htosports&t=c. Youndbuckerz (talk) 04:19, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Sports Notability

There is discussion ongoing at Wikipedia_talk:BIO#RFC:_WP:Athlete_Professional_Clause_Needs_Improvement debating possible changes to the WP:ATHLETE notability guideline. As a result, some have suggested using WP:NSPORT as an eventual replacement for WP:ATHLETE. Editing has begun at WP:NSPORT, please participate to help refine the notability guideline for the sports covered by this wikiproject. —Joshua Scott (LiberalFascist) 03:39, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

There's going to be a ton of edits now..

... listeing to this press conference now about Melbourne Storm lossing thier premierships--sss333 (talk) 06:09, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Should we perhaps work out a consistent way to handle this? Notations for tables, both for this season and past seasons?  Afaber012  (talk)  06:36, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I jumped the gun by editing Manly to say they had won eight Premierships. --Wikitoov (talk) 06:39, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Yeah and notes on premierships lists--sss333 (talk) 07:21, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Melbourne Storm has been locked down for IP editors for 12 hours. --Mkativerata (talk) 07:22, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Hall of fame

A note from an OTRS correspondent:

I have tried to find the list of UK Rugby League tables since 1895 through the links on your site. Every link however takes you to a sportswear company, HALL OF FAME, rather than the Rugby League Hall of Fame site where they are (this is currently down for maintenance). I suspect this firm hacked in. Can you investigate this?

I don't know what the issue is and am not familiar with the content so I'll leave it to you folks to have a look. Guy (Help!) 18:18, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. 1895–96 Northern Rugby Football Union season onwards are the articles in question. Second EL down directs to this site. It may not have been 'hacked', and probably not since it appears to be a legitimate company now trading off that website, but the domain name could have been taken over. After checking the other ELs, the link on Manningham is a dead link, and the link off the Warrington Wolves website directs to the club's main page. Both of these links obviously need replacing. GW(talk) 19:21, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Guess who's back

Back again. That's right. If anyone has anything to add, here's the latest checkuser case. Cheers.--Jeff79 (talk) 20:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Not that I oppose it, but out of interest, what triggered this action? GW(talk) 21:12, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Caption removal again.--Jeff79 (talk) 21:16, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

So...not a lot has changed around here?  florrie  06:08, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Nationalities

i have brought this up again because i think it makes more sense to categorise rugby league players by nationality by there backround e.g petero civoniceva ia fijian australian so he is australian and fijian rugby league player not just australian and willie mason who is nz,samoa,tonga,american this way all categories by nationality are filled up and not empty and also other sports are like this to like rugby union and american football.Youndbuckerz (talk) 04:55, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

It's very simple. If you want to add a person to Category:(nationality) (occupation) the article must state that they are of that nationality (and preferably be supported by third-party reliable sources). If the article does not state that a person is of that nationality, they may not be added to that nationality's category.--Jeff79 (talk) 14:06, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Category changes

Please stick to existing categories, YB. There needs to be consensus to change these ones. LunarLander // talk // 14:35, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Please help to provide references for all rugby league related unreferenced biographies of living people (you only have 63 at the moment - Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Unreferenced BLPs/Full_list has over 2000) or they may also be deleted, as a 7 year veteran and leading try scorer recently has been. I have asked for that article to be undeleted, as he is clearly notable.The-Pope (talk) 07:31, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Alex Murphy

is still in the article incubator, this is a plea to anyone who has some paper sources to add references as this article reallly should be back in mainspace.   pablo_hablo. 12:08, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
