Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Strategy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the current strategy for the Professional wrestling WikiProject, this can also be seen on the project's talk page.

Changes:

Change all mentions of "the WWE" to "WWE."
Change all mentions of WWE before May 8, 2002 to "WWF" or "the WWF", including championships and pay-per-views.
Change all mentions of WWE before March 1979 to "the WWWF", including championships and shows.
Change "Total Nonstop Action" to "Total Nonstop Action Wrestling", especially in championships and accomplishments. Titles won in TNA should not be listed under NWA, since the categorization refers to the company they were won in, not the governing bodies.
Change "Category:Professional wrestlers" to "Category:American(/British/Mexican etc.) professional wrestlers" where appropriate.

Adding:

Add Template:Infobox Wrestler to wrestler bio pages that don't have it
Add Template:Infobox Wrestling team to tag team and stable articles that don't have it
If not much information is available use Paulley's bio profile model in wrestler bios
Add the {{Pro-wrestling}} template to the talk pages of wrestling articles, and any article edited as part of this project
If the page needs expanding because it is a stub, please add {{prowrestling-stub}} or {{prowrestling-bio-stub}} to the article where appropriate.
