Helpme

{{helpme}} To call a sports league table, does there have to be a "template:" page?

In order for a {{template}} to work properly, yes, there must be a page with that name in the Template: namespace (in the previous example, there should be a page at Template:template). I do not believe that we have any league tables, however - that would strike me as falling under what Wikipedia is not. Sorry. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 16:07, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Rugby union national team Improvement Drive

For the 2007 Rugby World Cup WikiProject Rugby union is launching an Improvement Drive for national rugby union teams; specifically those participating in the Rugby World Cup.

We need your help! Here is what you can do:

• Adopt a national rugby union team article and collaborate with other members to improve it.
• Find, create and upload free images that will help improve these articles.
• Copy-edit, reference, and expand articles when and where you can.
• Promote the project and encourage others to join.

The World Cup is fast approaching and these articles are going to get a lot more hits during the tournament. It would be great if we could have them at a high standard!

For more information see the discussion on the WikiProject Rugby union talk page here.

Rugby infoboxes

The rugby union infobox is in the process of moving in line with the soccer, cricket and league infoboxes. There are slight tweaks such as all black numbers and such items but it is essentially the rugby league infobox in form. Londo06 18:16, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the revert, bit cheeky. The infobox is out there in someones sandbox, but it is more or less the same as the league one. The main reason for the shift is clarity I believe. Londo06 18:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

syntax remains the same. Just extra lines to be added last time I checked in with the fella working on it. Like I said the only difference I saw was the provision for an allblack no. Londo06 18:53, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
