Question on game template

There is some discussion here about whether the "box score" template for individual games should reflect the record of the teams coming into the game, or as a result of playing the game. Please join in the discussion if you would like. Johntex\^talk 21:16, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Questions on how to handle coach pages

Hi - I've been working on adding records boxes to the pages for coaches of the University of Minnesota and am now to the point where I'm going to be creating new articles for coaches who don't yet have pages. However, this brings up the question of how to handle two special cases. First, in 1899, the Gophers had co-coaches and I have very little information on each of them individually. Should I make one page for both of them, or should I keep them on separate pages. Then, in 1889, the Gophers played 4 games and had a different coach for each of those games. The only information I have about the 4 coaches are their names - I don't even know who coached which game. Should I combine the four of them onto a single page? How would you handle this? Is there an example of something similar already out there I could look at? Gopherguy 03:17, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

For the first case, I would make a page for each of them, not one page for both. If some of your info has to be redundant for each page, so be it. In the second case I would be hesitant to even create a page on that. With only their names, you would be best off just mentioning this on the main Minnesota football page.

You have a good point - while I want to "complete" our coaching history, it seems wasteful to create pages for all four of them with no more information than the fact that they coached a single game. Maybe I'll create a team page for the football team for that season and create redirect pages for the coaches which send you to the 1889 team page. Gopherguy 14:07, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

That sounds like a good idea. I think that having a season where each game is coached by a different person is unique enough that, if you can find enough sources for good citations, you could make a really good article out of that. z4ns4tsu\^talk 18:29, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

List of 100 point games introduction

I tried to wikify the introduction. See if it seems more fitting. John 17:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
