EFL Championship play-offs edit
The English Football League Championship play-offs are a series of play-off matches contested by the association football teams finishing from third to sixth in the EFL Championship table and are part of the English Football League play-offs. As of 2021[update], the play-offs comprise two semi-finals, where the team finishing third plays the team finishing sixth, and the team finishing fourth plays the team finishing fifth, each conducted as a two-legged tie. The winners of the semi-finals progress to the final which is contested at Wembley Stadium. The Championship play-off final is considered the most valuable single football match in the world as a result of the increase in revenue to the winning club from sponsorship and media agreements.

A complete and comprehensive history of the second tier play-off finals. I'm not saying this is my magnum opus (that'll be the Boat Race topic incoming this year), but this is more than a year's worth of effort so I hope it meets with the approval of the community.

- Wow. This is astonishing. What a lot of work. One question for now... I don't suppose there's any "free use image to accompany and represent the topic, preferably a featured picture if at all possible"? Pretty sure you considered it. As the criteria make clear, this isn't an essential, so it's not a pass/fail issue by any means. --Dweller (talk) Old fashioned is the new thing! 19:01, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
- Well there are half a dozen in the main article which could be used (even one of "good old Norwich"'s visit), but I felt to pick one out was to cherry pick. Perhaps a shot of Wembley? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 19:02, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
- Wembley isn't a bad shout. --Dweller (talk) Old fashioned is the new thing! 21:08, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

CommentsI am uncertain about the reliability of tabloid newspapers the Sunday World and the Birmingham Mail due to them being populist, but I don't know lots about them so if you can make a proper case, my opinion may be shifted. For the majority,the content is up to proper quality especially with numerous FAs and I always feel amazed at seeing these GTs with over 30 articles! --K. Peake 20:52, 4 May 2021 (UTC)- The reviewers at GAN had no issue with those publications, and in general they are never used to cite anything controversial. If the sources are black-listed by Wikipedia, please do let me know. Thanks for your comments. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:56, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
- I think that's they're sources being used totally appropraitely. --Dweller (talk) Old fashioned is the new thing! 21:08, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
- The Rambling Man and Dweller, there is nothing on these sources at WP:RSP so that is why I admitted to not having too much knowledge of them. After the explanations above, I don't take issue with the usage of them anymore. However, the 2013 Football League Championship play-off Final article should have the GA icon listed instead of the DYK one per this being a GT. --K. Peake 08:37, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

- The Rambling Man Very sorry about that, I know this topic isn't mine at all and that must've been a misclick. --K. Peake 12:51, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

- Question @WP:FTC coordinators: just wondering how long nominations need to remain open these days? No rush, just curious. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 13:57, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hey TRM—I've had my eye on this but have been delaying because it takes quite a bit of time to promote a big one like this (we have update every talk page manually, for example). That being said, I should have time to promote it tomorrow, unless Sturm or Gamer beat me to it. Aza24 (talk) 03:42, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- Aza24 Ok, no worries, thanks for letting me know. You think this is a big topic, just wait until I nominate the Boat Race topic....!! The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 06:44, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
