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 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".

  1. 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.
  2. Category club names: category names should similarly use official club titles as in Category:Collingwood Football Club coaches.
  3. Unlinked references within articles can either use official club names, shortnames or club nicknames (eg. Magpies) according to the editors preference.
  4. 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.
  5. The main article for the sport is Australian rules football. Articles should not use the capitalisation Australian Rules Football.
  6. 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"

Melbourne Football Club Melbourne Demons Avoid "Dees"
North Melbourne Football Club North Melbourne Kangaroos North Melbourne 1869–1998, 2008–current; Kangaroos 1999–2007

St Kilda Football Club St Kilda Saints Avoid "St Kilda Saints", and any reference to "Saint Kilda", which is incorrect
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"
