[edit] Scope

The aim of the project is to create a pool of consistent and attractive articles that are easy to find and read, which can be achieved by maintaining and creating:

• the rugby league category and sub-category structures
• templates, infoboxes and other tools to help wikipedia display and make better use of content
• articles related to rugby league
• Portal:Rugby League and Current sports events up-to-date for international matches and provincial competitions.
• Recent deaths and Current sports events up to date when notable rugby league players pass on. (As usually there are newspaper obituaries written when a person dies, it is also an opportunity to write up and improve the Wikipedia article on that player.)
• Coordinate efforts and peer review articles
• Expand the biographies on every man who has played a Test for the four main nations (Australia, England, France and New Zealand) as well as Great Britain.
• Increase the number of well written rugby league related articles
• Expand and improve other rugby league related articles

[edit] Recently updated articles and News

The following rugby league-related articles have been recently updated or created (note: this is not a complete list, just a list of articles which WP:RL participants wish to bring to the attention of other participants):

• All 100 NSWRL/NRL seasons to date each have their own distinct article starting 1908 through 2007. Thks espec. to Mdmanser, SBC89 & earlier work from Jeff79, CEP78.
• Parramatta Eels is now a good article.
• Rugby league in England is now a good article.
• Created a Peer Review section to this project. Can be found here: Peer review
• Karmichael Hunt is now a good article.

[edit] Peer review

The peer review department conducts peer reviews of articles on request; this helps to obtain ideas for further improvement by having contributors who may not have previously worked on particular articles examine them. Project members are invited to submit articles to the department in lieu of using the generic peer review process. You can submit an article for peer review or assist in reviewing articles here.

A full list of every teams' colours can be viewed here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Rugby_league/Team Colours. Mainly to be used in lists.

[edit] Sandboxed Articles

Members are encouraged to make good use of a sandbox, preferably as user sub pages, when making large editions to pages or creating new pages. If your currently working on some articles, give the rest of the projects members a sneak peak here.

• POds

[edit] Manual of Style (MoS)

This and more should be edited into the up & coming WikiProject Rugby manual of style

Certain groups of rugby league pages should have a certain structure. These are:

• Rugby league in Nation articles
• National rugby league team articles

[edit] Naming Conventions

Rugby league shall be written in lower case, such as rugby league, except when starting a sentence, such as in this one. Also the use of the more official traditional term rugby league football is acceptable, as well as references to footballers, football etc.. Terms involving football, such as football coach, should be amended to rugby league football coach unless the meaning is entirely unambiguous. i.e. to call the game football in New South Wales and Queensland articles is acceptable but if there is any ambiguity involving rlf and soccer, rugby union or Aussie Rules than the the specific term "rugby league football" should be used.

See the Rugby league discussion page for more information.

Also see wikipedia naming conventions, for naming articles.

[edit] Summarise and link

Particularly when writing history of rugby league, be careful not to duplicate information. The standard way to deal with possibly duplicate information is to keep one major source of that information and wherever else it is useful, summarise and link to it, in the following manner.

1. Place the link under the heading of the section you are writing and before any text.
2. Type refering link in italics, as follows, Main Article: Link to article
3. If necessary or relevant, also link to a specific section in the article

You can see an example here.

However, it may be that yours is a complicated subject and for the reader to get the whole picture with as little reading as possible, it is recommended you write light paragraphs that link to the relevant articles in the text. The history section in the rugby league article is the perfect example of this.

[edit] Glossary

I find my self starting to use special terms to refer to things on wikipedia. If you do too, add them here so you can use them in discourse. This may facilitate or hamper communication. I guess we'll find out.

WP-item

This term has be coined as a catch-all phrase for 'things' defineable through wikipedia such as articles, templates, categories, infoboxes etc. Pronounced wikipedia item or wiki item?
