Season statistics

edit

How should we handle season statistics between fall and spring? I understand things like FotMob handle them as two separate competitions but it really reminds me of the NASL set-up, sans the two separate playoffs.

I think there are four options:

  1. Statistics sub-headings for both seasons
  2. One statistics heading at the bottom of the page, with the seasons not separated
  3. One statistics heading at the bottom of the page, with separate columns for fall, spring, and each playoff
  4. Both - have sub-headings for each season and then combined at the bottom of the page for total

Any ideas to which would be better? ColeTrain4EVER (talk) 15:45, 6 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Given that the metric tracker and the league seem to treat them as two separate competition, we should probably not "editorialize" and treat them as one. Personally, I think "4" is the best option. We can add the total after all is said and done. Also, sorry for editing your comment, but I switched the numbers to an ordered list for my own readability.

No worries on the edit, it looks better now anyway. I think that should work, though lets remember to separate regular season from playoffs. ColeTrain4EVER (talk) 18:42, 6 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

The Big Championship

edit

For the final-final, I plan to speak to @S.A. Julio to get a nice field made of the line ups and do a full info box like a World Cup final. No need for another page, but it would be nice to finish the season off with a proper match box. Pirmas697 (talk) 11:33, 3 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Petition to move page and change format going forwad: "20xx–xx NISA season" should be "20xx–xx National Independent Soccer Association season"

edit

Title says it all. I move we change this page's name and the previous season's name. And adopt this format going forward. Every other U.S. league uses the full name minus the NPSL. Feels like we should go with the trend on this one. ColeTrain4EVER (talk) 20:52, 14 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

!vote I don't think it matters one way or the other unless there's a style guide format to follow, then switch to support. Pirmas697 (talk) 12:11, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'm not the best at Wikipedia style guide rulings. Is there a project page I should look at to see if this topic has been discussed? ColeTrain4EVER (talk) 14:18, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
If anyone would know, it's @Walter Görlitz:. Pirmas697 (talk) 15:44, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Why am I being invoked here?
The only salient point would be Wikipedia:Article titles.
Uncontroversial moves can be made at any time. The parent article is at National Independent Soccer Association and so it makes sense that the seasons would use the full league name. Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer do this. I'm not sure if MLB and MLS have other, possibly conflicting meanings when associated with years, but National Football League, National Basketball Association and National Hockey League all use their initialism in the season article. Most other soccer (association football) leagues don't have a multi-name league problem, so there's nothing to compare it with. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:39, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
I know uncontroversial moves can be made without asking - but I wanted to see if anyone had any objections or complaints. ColeTrain4EVER (talk) 18:02, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Walter Görlitz: Because you've stepped in before to enforce guideline issues, so I assumed you were more up-to-date on the matter. Pirmas697 (talk) 20:29, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. If the two of you think it's best, then, go for it. This discussion serves as the groundwork for the change. Be sure to keep previous seasons consistently named, and leave redirects to capture incoming links. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:46, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
