Talk:List of Swedish football champions

Comment
How the hell did this become featured when it looks like crap at 800x600 resolution (last numbers I saw had that THE most common setting for people using the Internet)? 165.121.29.35 00:55, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Its's really shoking for me - Primera Division of Argentina, for example, is more nice article than this one...--Oleg Abarnikov (talk) 17:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * This is not an article, this is a list. – Elisson • T • C • 18:30, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Mästerskapsserien
This list does not tell the reader who won the Swedish league (Allsvenskan) during the years of Mästerskapsserien. Since runners up are noted on this list, and it is the league that crowns the champion every year but those few in the late 1980's and early 90's, the winner of the Swedish league should be noted. Many, if not most people will only have a quick glance at this list, and they will be misled to believe that (as in any other country) whoever holds the title also won the league, which we know is directly false for those particular years in Sweden. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.183.145.39 (talk) 01:51, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Comments on the list
As of this revision:


 * The lead is still lacking in inline citations.
 * Top scorers and their goal tallies should be separated into two columns.
 * Done. --Reckless182 (talk) 12:32, 14 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The previous point would pave the way for sortable tables. Obviously characters like Ö will be problematic, but I can fix those once the sort function is in place.
 * Done. --Reckless182 (talk) 19:53, 14 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The image could use alt text.
 * Done. --Reckless182 (talk) 12:32, 14 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Nowadays flags aren't normally used in tables alongside a player's name, due to the restrictions of MOS:FLAG.
 * Removed. --Reckless182 (talk) 19:53, 14 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Notes and references should be split into two separate sections. See List of Watford F.C. players for an example of how to implement this point and the following one.
 * Done. --Reckless182 (talk) 20:18, 14 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Notes should be cited.
 * The fixed widths in columns should be removed (such as width=20%). For very complicated tables they're sometimes desirable, but here it would be better for the user's browser to automatically generate the best solution.
 * Done. --Reckless182 (talk) 12:32, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Hope those help for now. I'll keep this on my watchlist. Regards, —WFC— 13:04, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have solved some of the issues. I will work on finding sources for the lead and notes. --Reckless182 (talk) 20:18, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Prior to 1930
Should the years prior to 1930 be allowed on this list as they were hardly Swedish champions as only teams from Gothenburg and Stockholm were allowed to play? This apparently due to the geography of Sweden. Correct me if I'm wrong — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.66.88.112 (talk) 20:26, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * You are wrong. First of all, why would such titles not be included even if there was a ban for some teams? The title was still handed out. Secondly, nothing happened in 1930. Jönköping had a team in Svenska Mästerskapet in 1902, and teams from most larger cities played in the tournament by 1905. When Allsvenskan started in 1924–25, seven of 12 teams were not from Gothenburg or Stockholm. However, teams from northern Norrland did not play in the league system until the 1952–53 season. But this brings us back to my first statement. – Elisson • T • C • 13:45, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Runners-up
Someone to add the complete list of Runners-up in the table. Thanks!--Alexiulian25 (talk) 18:43, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Total titles won by county
It would make much more sense to make a list by which district football associations the clubs are associated with. The counties have changed during the course of Swedish football history and they have little importance other that purely administrative. People generally identify much more strongly with the provinces, and the few exceptions are reflected by SvFF's districts.

Gothenburg: IFK Göteborg, Örgryte IS, GAIS, Göteborgs IF, Fässbergs IF

Scania: Malmö FF, Helsingborgs IF

Stockholm: AIK, Djurgårdens IF, Hammarby IF

Östergötland: IFK Norrköping, Åtvidabergs FF, IK Sleipner

Västergötland: IF Elfsborg

Småland: Östers IF, Kalmar FF

Halland: Halmstads BK

Södermanland: IFK Eskilstuna

Gästrikland: Brynäs IF BlueSwede92 (talk) 22:17, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
