Having a look at Andy Moran's page, there’s two infoboxes both using the same picture. Why can’t we have them merged into one like the one for association footballers? Alex Ferguson for example has both his playing and managerial stats in one infobox. MrHunter25 (talk) 11:22, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi. While I (absolutely) agree that an optional "managerial roles" section could/should likely be added to Template:Infobox Gaelic games player, I would note that the picture duplication issue is addressable without combining the templates (albeit in a slightly clunky manner)....

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

Template:Infobox GAA club should imo use an example club that actually has a crest, Is there a reason why it doesn't? Finnfrog99 (talk) 20:50, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

Probably for the same reason that Template:Infobox football club doesn't use a real/actual club crest. Because most club crests are copyrighted. And would need to be used under "fair use". And "fair use" couldn't be claimed for a copyrighted non-free crest used only as an "example" image in a non-article context. Guliolopez (talk) 21:21, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:St. Breckan's, Lisdoonvarna GAA#Requested move 10 February 2026 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. TarnishedPath^talk 05:06, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi. In the discussion linked above (about the St. Breckan's GAA title), there was no clear consensus as to whether the abbreviation for "Saint" (in the club's name) should contain punctuation.

In terms of:

• WP:CONSISTENCY, the club is (now) the only member of Category:Munster GAA club stubs, named for a saint, that includes punctuation. (No similar members of Category:Leinster GAA club stubs, Category:Ulster GAA club stubs, Category:Connacht GAA club stubs, etc, include punctuation in the titles of clubs named after saints. In Category:Gaelic games clubs in County Kerry, for example, none of the club articles (St Brendan's Board GAA, St Brendan's Hurling Club, St Kieran's GAA (Kerry), St Mary's GAA (Kerry), St Patrick's GAA (Kerry), St Senan's GAA (Kerry), St Michael's/Foilmore, etc) include punctuation in their titles.
• WP:TITLE, it seems to me that a majority of the sources (Clare Champion, gaa.ie, RTÉ Sport, Clare Echo, HoganStand.com, etc) do not include punctuation, and as the guideline expects that titles are based on how reliable English-language sources refer to the article's subject, I wonder if the title used on Wikipedia should follow these reliable/independent sources.

(While it has been argued that the version with the punctuation "is the preferred language to be used by club & county officials" this is (a) not supported by what I see on the club website/policies/etc and (b) is something of an WP:OFFICIALNAME argument.)

Personally I think that club naming conventions should likely be CONSISTENT. Except perhaps where a volume of significant/reliable/independent sources support an exception (which doesn't seem to be the case here).

Other thoughts? Guliolopez (talk) 23:54, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

I don't have a strong preference either way about whether to use punctuation or not, but I would agree that we should settle on one or the other and keep them consistent. Without punctuation seems to be most commonly used at the minute but I won't argue one way or the other. Cavan121012 (talk) 12:06, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
