Wikipedia:WikiProject Cycling/Consensus decisions

WikiProject Cycling is the focus for reaching consensus decisions concerning articles within the scope of the WikiProject as interpretation of Wikipedia policies and guidelines. This page lists consensus decisions with a brief explanation to the consensus arrived at and a link to where the discussion or discussions were found. It is intended that this page is a reference to those discussions in order to find where discussions took place rather than to supersede the discussions and consensus reached.

Consensus can change, so if you do not agree with this consensus, you are free to discuss them, but please read the reasons for the current consensus, given in these consensus discussions, first. New discussions should take place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cycling or the relevant talk pages.

Cycling team nationalities

edit
  • Trade cycling teams do not represent the country in which they are registered. As such, nationality should not be implied in tables through the use of flag templates (for example {{flagicon}}, {{flagathlete}} etc). (July 2009)

Cycling team naming

edit

Rider results heading

edit
  • Rider results should use the level 2 heading ==Major results==. If anything other than major results are present in the article (timelines, world records, honours, awards...) then use ==Career achievements== (level 2) → ===Major results=== (level 3), ===Grand Tour general classification results timeline=== (level 3) etc. The French word Palmarès should not be used as a heading. (September 2016)
