Participants

To do

The primary things to do are for now:

Create content guidelines for league, cup and team season articles
Maintain existing articles, e.g. keeping those updated
Recruit interested Wikipedians by posting {{WPFOOTY-seasonarticletaskforce-invite}} on their talkpages

Besides that, there is the "usual stuff" to do:

Tag related articles to include the season=yes parameter
Review importance and quality of existing articles
Identify articles for creation
Identify articles for improvement

Guidelines

Working out the guidelines for any type of season article is a primary goal of this task force for now as those are not existent yet. This should be done in compliance with both the Project Manual of Style and Wikipedia's Manual of Style.

Tagging and assessment

Any articles that are within the scope of this task force should be tagged with the following:

{{WikiProject Football|class=|importance=|Season=yes}}

You should add |Season=yes as this will automatically put the talk page into the appropriate categories.

Templates

Templates which are used in season articles mainly focus on elevated and distinctive matches during the competitions, such as championship decision matches, relegation/promotion playoff matches or cup matches in a certain round. Below is a list of the most commonly used templates.

Make sure that you have read the documentation of the respective template before using it in an article as each of them has a plethora of parameters available!!!

Single match templates

{{Footballbox}} – Used for important matches all over WP:FOOTY. Typical uses include domestic cup matches from quarter-finals or higher, any kind of league decision matches (championship or relegation/promotion) and national team matches.
{{Footballbox collapsible}} – A collapsible version of Footballbox. Mainly used for early stages in cup articles (recommended up to 48 matches for a round) and club season articles.

Infobox templates

{{Infobox football league season}} – The standard infobox used for league season articles.
{{Infobox football tournament season}} – The standard infobox used for cup season articles.
{{Infobox football club season}} – The standard infobox used for club season articles.
{{Infobox football country season2}} – The standard infobox used for national season articles.

Stub templates

Stub templates should generally be applied to all season articles which contain only very little information. You may find suitable stub templates at Category:Association football competition stubs for competitions and Category:Association football stubs for general purposes. A more fitting set of stub templates may be created in the future.

Recognised content

This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:WikiProject Football season articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.
