ScopeEdit

This WikiProject aims primarily to establish and organise standards for Australian rules football-related articles resulting in well-structured and well-written articles, and to gather a community of Australian rules football fans to further the development of information of the sport on Wikipedia. Articles include details on the game itself, as well as notable competitions, players, coaches, commentators and administrators.

The national Australian Football League is the largest and most notable Australian rules football competition in Australia. However, details related to the various state and overseas leagues as well as historical competitions, are also within the scope of this Project.

Notability requirementsEdit

As part of Wikipedia, our project is required to abide by the notability guideline that apply to all articles. This section does not overrule or

The basic tenet is:

In a nutshell: If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article.

In regards to the notability of people there is an additional criteria (WP:ATHLETE) that states that "people who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport" are "generally notable". However, failure to meet this additional criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included. Should a person fail to meet this additional criteria, they may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability.

WikiProject Australian rules football style guideEdit

WikiProject Australian rules football participants have agreed to the following standards of editorial style to maintain a consistent look and feel to Australian rules football and Australian Football League articles. The guidelines are in sympathy with the origins of the game and with encyclopaedic standards. Editors are encouraged to follow these guidelines wherever possible.

When editing, this guide can be cited in the edit summary as "per Australian rules football style guide".

Article club names: club article names and subsequent links to those articles should use official club titles as in Collingwood Football Club. Piped links can use Collingwood where applicable. Avoid using Collingwood Magpies as an article title.
Category club names: category names should similarly use official club titles as in Category:Collingwood Football Club coaches.
Unlinked references within articles can either use official club names, shortnames or club nicknames (eg. Magpies) according to the editors preference.
When referring to a player from an earlier era, the club name used should be the name applicable for that player at that time. For example Ted Whitten played for the Footscray Football Club (never the Western Bulldogs). Use of redirects or piped links ([[Western Bulldogs|Footscray Football Club]]) to the current club name is acceptable.
The main article for the sport is Australian rules football. Articles should not use the capitalisation Australian Rules Football.
In tables or ladders, use of shortnames or nicknames or combinations of both are acceptable as follows:

Club name	Preferred shortname	Preferred nickname/s	Notes
Adelaide Football Club	Adelaide	Crows
Brisbane Lions	Brisbane Lions	Lions	after 1996; avoid "Brisbane Lions Football Club"
Carlton Football Club	Carlton	Blues
Collingwood Football Club	Collingwood	Magpies	Avoid "Pies"
Essendon Football Club	Essendon	Bombers
Fremantle Football Club	Fremantle	Dockers
Geelong Football Club	Geelong	Cats
Gold Coast Football Club	Gold Coast	Suns	Avoid "the Gold Coast"
Greater Western Sydney Giants	Greater Western Sydney	Giants	Avoid "Greater Western Sydney Football Club"
Hawthorn Football Club	Hawthorn	Hawks
Melbourne Football Club	Melbourne	Demons	Avoid "Dees"
North Melbourne Football Club	North Melbourne	Kangaroos	North Melbourne 1869–1998, 2008–current; Kangaroos 1999–2007

Sydney Swans	Sydney	Swans	Avoid "Sydney Swans Football Club"
West Coast Eagles	West Coast	Eagles	Avoid "West Coast Eagles Football Club" and "the West Coast"
Western Bulldogs	Western Bulldogs	Bulldogs	"Footscray Football Club" 1877–1996; avoid "Dogs", "Doggies", or "Western Bulldogs Football Club"
Brisbane Bears	Brisbane Bears	Bears	1987–1996
Fitzroy Football Club	Fitzroy	Lions	1883–1996
South Melbourne Football Club	South Melbourne	Swans	1897–1982
