Celtic F.C. task force
I would like to add the Celtic task force to this template. Using this image. Thank you. Adam4267 (talk) 22:49, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
 * You should provide the specific code you want adding to the template, following the example given by the guy who wanted to add the D.C. United TF. – PeeJay 22:55, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that PeeJay, here is the source code;

|tf 10= |TF_10_LINK           = Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Celtic F.C. task force |TF_10_NAME           = the Celtic F.C. task force |TF_10_IMAGE          = Celtic front door.jpg |TF_10_SIZE           = 40x40px |TF_10_QUALITY        = yes |tf 10 importance     = |TF_10_ASSESSMENT_CAT = Celtic F.C. articles |TF_10_MAIN_CAT       = Celtic F.C. task force articles and it is also at the sandbox.

Scotland task force
I'd like to add the Scotland task force to this template. See source code on sandbox Template:WikiProject Football/sandbox for update. Thanks Warburton1368 (talk) 21:25, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * To the admin who sees this - The update Warburton1368 has asked for will also include some updates I have made to the template in order to add assessment capabilities for the task forces that were previously missing them. I have also neatened up the template to make it easier to see what each bit of it does. – PeeJay 12:57, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done Dabomb87 (talk) 15:13, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject conversions
I've converted the Real Madrid, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday WikiProjects to task forces and added their assessment parameters to the sandbox version of this template. If an admin could update the template, that'd be super. – PeeJay 00:30, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Ucucha (talk) 18:28, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Would you mind updating the template again to include the Australian and Irish task forces. I have already made the necessary adjustments to the sandbox page, so it's just a copy-and-paste job. – PeeJay 15:04, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- WOSlinker (talk) 20:01, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Final request
The final task force conversions have now taken place, so I require an admin to please update the main template with the code from the sandbox. Thanks. – PeeJay 10:44, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Women's task force
I'd like to change the picture on the women's task force articles from the current to the more specific. If no one has any objections, this requires the code to be amended from:

|tf 4= |TF_4_LINK          = Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Women's football task force |TF_4_NAME          = the women's task force |TF_4_IMAGE         = Symbol venus.svg |TF_4_SIZE          = 30x30px |TF_4_QUALITY       = yes |tf 4 importance    = |TF_4_ASSESSMENT_CAT = Women's football articles |TF_4_MAIN_CAT      = Women's football task force articles

to:

|tf 4= |TF_4_LINK          = Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Women's football task force |TF_4_NAME          = the women's task force |TF_4_IMAGE         = Football féminin icon-fr.svg |TF_4_SIZE          = 30x30px |TF_4_QUALITY       = yes |tf 4 importance    = |TF_4_ASSESSMENT_CAT = Women's football articles |TF_4_MAIN_CAT      = Women's football task force articles

This change should clarify that the task force is for women's football/soccer, rather than a task force for women in general. I think this is better than adding the word football to the NAME field, as doing so may confuse or irritate our American and Canadian contributors. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 10:42, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the fact that it's on the WikiProject Football banner should be sufficient indication that the task force refers to women's football, but I do like the image, so I support this change. – PeeJay 10:49, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, ✅ &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:17, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Ireland task force assessment
I have just created the categories to allow Irish football articles to be assessed by this template. I have also updated the code in the sandbox, so if an admin could update the template to reflect those changes, that would be very useful. – PeeJay 13:58, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * , just one category missing - see Template:WikiProject Football/class. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:22, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Non-leage football assessment
The non-league football taskforce code needs to be updated to reflect that it can now be assessed.

|tf 3= |TF_3_LINK           = Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/English non-league task force |TF_3_NAME           = the English non-league task force |TF_3_IMAGE          = Football pictogram.svg |TF_3_SIZE           = 30x30px |TF_3_QUALITY        = yes |TF_3_IMPORTANCE     = |tf 3 importance= {{#ifeq:{{lc:{{{Non-league|{{{non-league|}}}}}}}}|yes|{{{importance|}}|{{{Non-league|{{{non-league|}}}}}}}} |TF_3_ASSESSMENT_CAT = English non-league football articles |TF_3_MAIN_CAT       = English non-league football task force articles

Thanks.  Del ♉ sion  23  (talk)  12:09, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅. Although it is numbered 1 not 3! One category needs creating. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:09, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

You can use cat importance and cat class, (example). &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:11, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Cheers Martin, thanks very much for the quick response! I've created the missing category. Will start trying to make a table for it now.  Del ♉ sion  23  (talk)  13:55, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

National Team Task Force
Could you add my task force, National Team Task Force?

|tf 1= |TF_1_LINK           = Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/National teams task force |TF_1_NAME           = the National teams task force |TF_1_IMAGE          = Flag of the United Nations.svg |TF_1_SIZE           = 40x40px |TF_1_QUALITY       = yes |tf 1 importance    = |TF_1_ASSESSMENT_CAT = National football team articles |TF_1_MAIN_CAT       = WikiProject Football national teams articles

There is what the code looks like. (From the Sandbox) Thanks in advance, Bar Code Symmetry  (Talk) 17:13, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: The first line implies that the trigger for this would be National Teams or national however the seventh line suggests that the trigger for this would be National or national. Which is intended?
 * BTW please use the template to formally request an edit. -- Red rose64 (talk) 18:37, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I meant National. Can it be done now? Is it too late to add the editprotected template? Bar Code Symmetry  (Talk) 19:55, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * No, it's never too late to add an ; the main purpose of that template is to draw the attention of an admin, because it will put this page into . That way you're not relying on somebody having this on their watchlist, or (as in my case) noticing the thread at Help desk. I may be off to bed soon.
 * I do have another question: following your 19:55 modification to the above, I see that National is now in twice each time, so effectively one is redundant. It could be set up either as

|tf 1= |tf 1 importance    =
 * which is a simpler way of having it so that only the first-letter-capitalised form will be recognised, or as

|tf 1= |tf 1 importance    =
 * which will permit either capitalisation. Which one is the intention? -- Red rose64 (talk) 20:43, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, if it is simpler then by all means do it! BTW congrats on adminship. I read the RfA page current nominations section, sometimes. Bar Code Symmetry  (Talk) 22:19, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done, see . -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:56, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Women's football task force
Hi, one of the last edits has mangled the template so that the icon for women's football is appearing on the football variants template. The women's football template is now missing its icon. Please restore, thanks. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 19:16, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done Well spotted, . -- Red rose64 (talk) 20:18, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

English non-league task force
Hey, could someone please replace the stick figure pictogram (Football pictogram.svg) with the new logo of the non-league task force, found here (Non-league football taskforce logo.svg)? Thanks.  Del ♉ sion 23  (talk)  20:44, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

India task force
Can someone add the India task force to the template as I now think we can asses the Indian football articles.

|tf 8= |TF_8_LINK          = Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/India task force |TF_8_NAME          = the India football task force |TF_8_IMAGE         = Flag of India.svg |TF_8_SIZE          = 40x40px |TF_8_QUALITY       = yes |tf 8 importance    = |TF_8_ASSESSMENT_CAT = football in India articles |TF_8_MAIN_CAT      = Football in India task force articles

The sandbox example is right here... Template:WikiProject Football/sandbox and the example that the template works is right here... Talk:Pradeep Mohanraj.

Thank you. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 23:02, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done I've tweaked the code a little bit too. I used, which I thought must have been your intention. I also used "the Indian football task force" rather than "the India football task force" to bring the name in line with the other task forces. If I messed anything up, leave my a message on my user talk page and I can fix it for you. Best — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 10:05, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Norway task force
Could somebody add the Norwegian task force? I have no idea what number I'm supposed to use. |tf 1={{lc:{{{Norway|{{{norway|}}}}}} |TF_1_LINK           = Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Norway task force |TF_1_NAME           = the Norwegian football task force |TF_1_IMAGE          = Flag of Norway.svg |TF_1_SIZE          = 40x40px |TF_1_QUALITY        = yes |TF_1_IMPORTANCE     = yes |tf 1 importance={{{importance|}}} |TF_1_ASSESSMENT_CAT = football in Norway articles |TF_1_MAIN_CAT       = WikiProject Football in Norway articles

 * I'm sorry, I have to oppose this on procedural grounds. The creation of this task force doesn't seem to have been done with community consensus - at least, none that I've seen. If I am mistaken, please let me know, but task forces should not be created without at least three or four members on board already. – PeeJay 23:18, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Women's football task force update
Please replace the existing women's task force info with the following: |tf 5= |TF_5_PORTAL        = Women's association football |TF_5_LINK          = Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Women's football task force |TF_5_NAME          = the Women's football task force |TF_5_IMAGE         = Stephanie-Cox-480.jpg |TF_5_SIZE          = 40x40px |TF_5_QUALITY       = yes |tf 5 importance    = |TF_5_ASSESSMENT_CAT = Women's football articles |TF_5_MAIN_CAT      = Women's football task force articles

Template-protected edit request on 25 October 2014
Requesting to add in the San Jose Earthquakes task force to the template

Christiangamer7 (talk) 00:34, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done I've fixed the numbering for you - the task force hook template only accepts up to 10 task forces, so your sandbox version would have stopped the Sheffield Wednesday task force code from working. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 05:12, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Alphabetical order
When the parameters for the Indian football task force were added, the alphabetical order of the country-specific task forces wasn't preserved. I've corrected this in the sandbox, so could an admin please apply the changes to the template? – PeeJay 16:39, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * One way of avoiding such problems is to use non-consecutive numbers. You can have as many as you like; and in any given  there are ten slots, but you don't need to use them in the order 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. - they can be 2, 4, 6, 8, 10; or 3, 6, 9; or any variation. By doing this, gaps are left for others to be inserted in future. -- Red rose64 (talk) 17:14, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
