Guidance for new editors
The page brings together some of the documentation from, the player template, and consensus at WT:FOOTY.

Infoboxes
The infobox shows key information about the player, and a summary of club and national team statistics. Content within the infobox should be verifiable by references within the article, particularly on biographies of living people.

Height Sources for a player's height can sometimes vary. Where there is a discrepancy, the most recent official source should usually be used. Generally, this would be a player's club/league profile, or FIFA listing.

Statistics Club statistics should represent the domestic league only (e.g. Premier League, La Liga, etc), meaning that cup competitions should not be included.

National team date ranges should be left open e.g. 2009– unless the player has officially announced their retirement.

Timestamps should always be updated when statistics are changed. This is so that readers and fellow editors know when the figures were last updated. This is important because ?? would lead to data integrity issues. Bare dates may be acceptable, but only where they are still unambiguous (e.g. taking timezones into account).

Career statistics
Many articles include full statistics in a table near the bottom of the article. Ideally, these should be updated at the same time as any infobox updates. When updating these, please remember to update all totals, as well as the datestamp, which should say something like As of match played 14 January 2019
