[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:
[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.
- Place the link under the heading of the section you are writing and before any text.
- Type refering link in italics, as follows, Main Article: Link to article using {{main|Link to article}}
- 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.
