Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Rugby union. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you have a passion for rugby union and wish to make Wikipedia the world's foremost reference on rugby union like the rest of our participants then add your name to the list below. Then read the section below labelled How to help or inquire on our talk page. For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices. You may sign up for the project on the Participants list, and add your name here if rugby union is your favourite sport. |

[edit] Criteria guideline for article inclusionWikiProject RU participants have adopted the following guidelines for notability of a rugby union person for an article in Wikipedia:
Please note that the failure to meet these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. These are merely rules of thumb which some editors choose to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to keep an article that is on articles for deletion. In particular, players from the early days of rugby cannot meet these criteria as they pre-date the era of first-class rugby. Also, please keep in mind that the article in question must actually document that the criterion is true. It is not enough to make vague claims in the article or rant about person's importance on a talk page or VfD page -- the article itself must document notability. |

[edit] Article style guideWhilst naming and editing rugby union-related articles, editors often encounter recurring questions of style. Wikipedia:WikiProject Rugby union/Participants have agreed to the following style guidelines to keep a consistent look and feel to rugby union articles throughout Wikipedia. These styles also fall within the WP:MOS guidelines and WP:NC policies. See also: Wikipedia:Manual of style Naming Conventions
Rugby union shall be written in lower case, such as rugby union, except when starting a sentence, such as in this one. See the Rugby union discussion page for more information. Also see wikipedia naming conventions, for naming articles.
Summarise and link Particularly when writing history of rugby union, be careful not to duplicate information. The standard way to deal with possibly duplicate information is to keep one major source of that information and wherever else it is useful, summarise and link to it, in the following manner.
You can see an example here. However, it may be that yours is a complicated subject and for the reader to get the whole picture with as little reading as possible, it is recommended you write light paragraphs that link to the relevant articles in the text. Referencing When adding information/statistics, particularly regarding popularity, be sure to add a reference, by adding this after it (using Wikipedia as an example: <ref name=wiki1>{{cite web | publisher=wikipedia.org | title=Main page of Wikipedia | url=http://www.en.wikipedia.org/main| accessdate=1 April | accessyear=2006}}</ref>
Then, put a references section at the bottom of the page, but not below the external links. Like this: ==References== <div style="font-size: 90%"> <references /> </div> If you are using the same source a few paragraphs later, re-reference like this: <ref name=wiki1/> |
