Scope

This WikiProject aims primarily to establish and organise standards for Australian rules football–related articles resulting in well-structured and well-written articles, and to gather a community of Australian rules football fans to further the development of information of the sport on Wikipedia. Articles include details on the game itself, as well as notable competitions, players, coaches, commentators and administrators.

The national Australian Football League is the largest and most notable Australian rules football competition in Australia. However, details related to the various state and overseas leagues, as well as historical competitions, are also within the scope of this Project.

Tasks to be completed

The WikiProject Australian rules football to do list contains information on players, coaches, clubs, commentators and anything else that is relevant within the scope of this WikiProject.

There is an automated WikiProject cleanup list bot that creates cleanup lists for the project, either as project's one big table, separated by categories or manually archived in projectspace.

Stats bot

A stats bot that scrapes afltables.com weekly during the season for any stat changes for players, automatically applying these stats in the info box as well as the detailed stats at the bottom of each page (where applicable)

Email correspondence below as a reply to my inquiry to the steward of afltables.com:

This would probably require weekly site syncs. In case you didn’t know, someone of the players are a year or two out of date; having an automatic sync would be a huge help. What do you think? Is this something that is viable with your site? I’ve seen other codes that do it.

Cheers!

Electrmicmaster, I have thought about producing, along with the regular HTML, a text file containing the wiki markup for each player. Never came to anything, and probably won't. This means I'm down with the idea, but don't want do to the work :P

So if you want to do all the heavy lifting, I can give you the historical data up to the end of 2023, then the weekly updated stat file can be parsed to append 2024.

The beta can be found here, although it's currently having some issues: https://github.com/mohdtalal3/AFL-Tables-Wikipedia-Updater

All-Australian pages before 2007

As of October 2024, separate pages for all All-Australian teams after 2006 have been created and populated. Ideally, I'd like to see this continue back to 1991 (at least) with the same level of detail as the others.

Brownlow medal pages before 2024

If you note the current page for the 2024 Brownlow Medal, additional information (such as team highs, club totals, separate team/player columns for easy sortability) has been added. I'd like to see this layout copied back reverse-chronologically. Perhaps a table for round-by-round votes could be added in the future (where known), but this is a lower priority. Data could be imported using a script or some kind of AI tool.

Lists

Notability requirements

As part of Wikipedia, our project is required to abide by the notability guideline that apply to all articles. This section does not overrule that notion.

The basic tenet is:

In regards to the notability of people there is an additional criteria (WP:ATHLETE) that states that "people who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport" are "generally notable". However, failure to meet this additional criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included. Should a person fail to meet this additional criteria, they may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability.
