At Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_172#Designating_current_seasons_in_infoboxes, I read clear consensus to use text rather than images to designate the current season. I went ahead and made the change at {{Infobox award}}, but since I'm not a sports person, I'll leave the implementation for sports templates such as {{Infobox football league}} to you all here. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 21:35, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

I've added a DNAU tag to this thread; feel free to remove it once you have finished implementation. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 20:49, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

There is a discussion in progress at WikiProject_Football talk page about how to categorise teams or associations for countries that a) represent a confederation in a different continent to their own (e.g. for football, Australia within the Asian Football Federation, Israel within UEFA) or b) countries that span multiple continents (e.g. Turkey, Russia). This may be of interest to editors who contribute to this project, who can maybe bring a multi-disciplinary view to this discussion. Matilda Maniac (talk) 23:17, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

Welsh national team and Welsh team, currently redirects to Wales national football team, have been proposed for disambiguation at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2026 January 14#Welsh national team. You are invited to take part in the discussion there, which may serve as precedent for other redirects from "(country) national team" to "(country) national (sport) team" and similar.

Somebody, once, had a bright idea to group games and sports into one category. I proposed to kill it off by splitting these concepts.

I recently opened a discussion about images and color schemes in college sports navboxes (like Template:Big Ten Conference navbox) at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football#Images and color schemes in college sports navboxes. This discussion applies to navboxes beyond just college football. We could use to more input to reach a clear consensus. Thanks, Jweiss11 (talk) 19:17, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

The article Al Jaish Stadium has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Delete for lack of significant coverage. I did my own search as required, and found nothing but directories and only two hits on Google news. Tagged as Unreferenced for 12 years and for Notability concerns for 7 months.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. Bearian (talk) 18:31, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Al Jaish Stadium was previously proposed for deletion, by me, last year. Does anybody want to send this to WP:AfD? Bearian (talk) 01:43, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Just notifying members of this project that there is a Conflict of Interest edit request relevant to this WikiProject at the Sports analytics article. DrThneed (talk) 02:38, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

It seems recent changes to UK Athletics "Power of 10" statistics system have broken our links to athlete profiles. It is linked from the articles of most current British track athletes, mostly from {{Sports links}} and {{Power of 10}}, which pick up from Wikidata Property:P2090 "Power of 10 athlete ID"

For example, the link for Phily Bowden changed from:

https://www.thepowerof10.info/athletes/profile.aspx?athleteid=92970       to

https://www.powerof10.uk/Home/Athlete/25aae67e-a27a-4dbf-b0d8-5905b0a0bb9b

The former links, which we have many (a thousand or more?) are broken. This comes after a period of a week of downtime on the site, which clearly was them retooling. It seems to be a permanent issue. So:

• Is this being discussed anywhere, or am I the first to notice?
• What shall we do about it?

If it was just a URL format change, I'd be commenting on the relevant template pages. But I can't see an obvious way to obtain the new athlete identifier (which seems to be a UUID) from the old integer one. Without that, it's not a job a bot could readily do. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 12:19, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Multiple articles were recently created about football match fixing in different countries. I draftified Match-fixing in Tanzanian football for being AI generated, but generally I do not know if these articles are notable enough to be created in the first place. The other articles are Match-fixing in Ugandan football and Match-fixing in Kenyan football. Input on whether I should nominate for deletion is appreciated. Vegantics (talk) 14:06, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

When you have reliable sources with "Kenyan match-fixing" in the title, that's pretty much a slamdunk. Ravenswing 16:06, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello — I work for Pro Athlete Community (PAC) and am disclosing my conflict of interest upfront per Wikipedia's COI policy. I am not able to write this article myself and am hoping an independent editor might be willing to create it.
