This page documents an English Wikipedia guideline. It is a generally accepted standard that editors should follow, though it should be treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. When in doubt, discuss your idea on the talk page.

This page in a nutshell: The following recurring events are suitable to include on the In the news template. Other recurring events should only be added if they satisfy other ITN criteria.

Shortcut: WP:ITNR

This is a supplement to the existing ITN criteria, for the In the news (ITN) section on the Main Page.

There are frequent arguments about, and additions of and removals of, recurring stories on ITN. This guideline is an attempt to standardize what gets included in the ITN section of the Main Page. This is what recurring items looked like at the beginning of 2009 before several changes during that year.

Scheduled sporting events and other recurring items are different from other ITN candidates because editors can foresee them and prepare for their inclusion. There is no reason not to have a pre-existing list of approved events. The relevant articles will still have to be updated appropriately before being posted on the Main Page.

NOTE: This is not intended to preempt other ITN criteria regarding inclusion, such as inclusion of unusual and particularly important events.
