I have started up the new portal, based on the layout of featured portals such as at Christianity and Constructed Languages. The colour scheme was taken from your Wikiproject. The way it is set up at the moment means you must have different articles and pictures ready every month. Please talk to me if you need any futher assistance. Good luck!

A season article has been created, and this will be a run through of all games, and all news during the season. Feel free to help put on AFL Season 2006, and air your thoughts on the Discussion page.

Also we're looking at getting player profiles on all current players done - see each club's page for rosters.

I have just started this, using the template approach of the NFL. Please feel free to fill in the blanks using the Freo or Doggies templates as guides to the styles.

[edit] Wikiproject AFL style guide

Wikiproject AFL 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 AFL 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 Footscray Football Club (never 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:
