Match-winning team navboxes

I think one thing we need to talk about is how we feel about templates like {{Parramatta Eels 2016 Auckland Nines Champions}}, {{Hull F.C. - 1959 Challenge Cup Final Runners-Up}} and {{Combined Brisbane - 1984 Panasonic Cup winners}}. Limiting ourselves to premiership wins alone can cause these navboxes stack up quite significantly, but this is just way too much in my opinion. --Gibson Flying V (talk) 22:33, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm cautiously for them, though I'm surprised they are used for runners-up. I like them for premierships, nines, Four Nations winners etc., but that's just my personal opinion. I just had a look at Peyton Manning & David Beckham and they both have heaps, but they are clustered to limit how much screen it takes up. Doctorhawkes (talk) 10:11, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm less surprised that they are used for runners-up… as I created {{Hull F.C. - 1959 Challenge Cup Final Runners-Up}}. My view was that the templates would become useful, as and, when articles for, e.g. 1959 Challenge Cup, or 1959 Challenge Cup Final were eventually created, where the players for both winning and runners-up teams in the final would be named. Best regards DynamoDegsy (talk) 17:18, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a fan of them - if a template was created for every League, Challenge Cup and World Club Challenge win, lots of pages would become far too cluttered very quickly. Templates such as {{North Wales Crusaders 2012 Squad}}, for example are far too much. J Mo 101 (talk) 00:12, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind the winning team templates but I don't think that runner up templates are notable. The North Wales season squads should be changed to a current squad template so this type of situation doesn't occur. In saying that, I am generally supportive of clustering.

Crusaders navboxes now at TfD here. J Mo 101 (talk) 18:40, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rfd Note for Raymond Terrace Roosters

A discussion has started at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2016_March_7#Raymond Terrace Roosters, because currently there s no information at the target, Newcastle Rugby League#Former Clubs, about this team. You may wish to contribute to the discussion. Si Trew (talk) 13:04, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

I see Fox Sports has now become subscription-based. It's getting harder and harder to find decent sources. Doctorhawkes (talk) 23:56, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rugby sevens

Not directly relevant to us, but fyi there is a discussion to move rugby sevens national sides from Foo national rugby union team (sevens) to Foo national rugby sevens team. Mattlore (talk) 20:18, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sydney Roosters list articles

Would someone mind taking a look at List of Sydney Roosters players, List of Sydney Roosters records, List of Sydney Roosters honours and List of Sydney Roosters representatives?

The list of players in particular is one long scroll of 1151 names which is probably only going to continue to grow if left as is. Players with stand-alone articles are OK, but there are quite few redlinks so WP:LSC does not seem to be satisfied. Maybe it would be better to trim some of these or break the list up into smaller sections by period/era? Has WP:RL established some sort of common selection criteria for such lists? I don't know much about rugby and was just checking the images in Sydney Roosters when I saw the hatnotes for the various lists. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:06, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All NRL or equivalent players are inherently notable. I would imagine that eventually all of those players will eventually have their own article. I don't see a problem, though some of them could be presented a little better. Doctorhawkes (talk) 09:13, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Move The Summer Bash

Hi, the article The Summer Bash should be moved to Summer Bash to conform with the Magic Weekend article. 2.218.253.200 (talk) 12:04, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Greatest Game redirect

Hi there, it's been a while. A minor one, but I got a notification about discussions on whether The Greatest Game and The Greatest Game of All should continue to redirect to rugby league. If anyone would like to add their opinion, the discussions are at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 April 22#The_Greatest_Game and Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2016_April_22#The_Greatest_Game_of_All, one above the other.
