Article Request
Hi @Rugbyfan22 just wondering if you could create an article on rugby player Karl Keane? He was in the MLR last year with seattle, but moved to japan to play in league one. There is a japanese wiki article on him, but nothing on this platform. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BB%E3%82%AD%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3 cheers Rugbyfanatic2001 (talk) 10:55, 1 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your interest @Rugbyfanatic2001, however this wouldn't be at the top of my interest in article creation at the moment. Although the subject passes the now redundant old rugby union guidelines, I'm not sure the subject currently passes WP:GNG, however if you wished to create an article yourself I'd have no issue trying to improve it if and when I have the time.

Anthem Rugby Carolina
Hi, I've changed "Anthem Rugby" to in a few articles, because the club doesn't use that shortened version of its name. Can you, please, change the squad template as well (as that may mean making a new template and deleting the one you made?) as well as other instances where you've used that incorrect version of the club's name as I've probably not found them all. Thanks, Ruggalicious (talk) 23:36, 3 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, Anthem Rugby seems to be shortened version used, such as in the article for the squad listed on the page, bit of a weird one given the team is only a couple of months old. I think best to leave for now, to see if something becomes a common name, before making template changes if that is ok. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 12:03, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No, the shortened version is Anthem RC, which is unattractive to use because then you can't see where they're from. There is also no need for using a shorter version. If you're referring to the article in Americas Rugby News, they got it wrong. I'm going by what I see on the Anthem Rugby Carolina website and social media itself. I disagree with leaving it now. I've already edited several articles with the correct name (the full name). I suggest we leave it at that, instead of a shortened version we disagree on.

Henco van Wyk Nickname
can you please explain why you keep removing the information regarding Henco van Wyk's nickname? If you did a little bit of research and even looked at the references, you would see Henco's nickname is in fact "Weapon X" which is his nickname since high school. You can literally just type his name in on YouTube and you would see a lot of videos refering to his nickname. Not to mention, that's the name the commentators call him when he touches the ball. So I don't understand why you think it's neccesary to keep removing that information. It's 100% verified and accurate information, so I ask that you please stop removing it. 102.182.170.146 (talk) 01:00, 22 February 2024 (UTC)


 * The information is trivial and not suitable for an encylopedic article. If his nickname was widely used in print and digital media that would pass WP:GNG, such as with 'Lappies' Labuschagne or Tendai Mtawarira being known as 'The Beast' then fine, but the nickname isn't widely used. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 19:57, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I did include references where various media outlets and journalist refer to him as Weapon X, just like 'Lappies' Labuschagne or Tendai Mtawarira being known as 'The Beast', Henco van Wyk is known as "Weapon X". If you even go to his social media, you can see in the comments all his fans refer to him as Weapon X, just like a recent supplement sponsor he got, also introduces him as Weapon X. I can go on and on about that being his nickname. I think it is suitable for a encylopedic article much like with NFL players. Why should it be different with rugby players? I think it helps to know where his nickname came from. Yet, you make it seem like it's not relevant. 102.182.170.146 (talk) 22:45, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

2023–24 Southampton F.C. season
Thanks for all the hard work you put in to keeping this article up to date. I note that in the squad statistics you are including play-off appearances in the league column. The equivalent articles for the other 3 teams show the play-off appearances in a separate column. As these are not including as league appearances in other articles, I think your approach is incorrect. Any thoughts? Daemonickangaroo2018 (talk) 08:35, 13 May 2024 (UTC)


 * TBH I hadn't thought about it. I'd have no issues with columns being added for the playoffs. I'll add them in myself when I get a chance. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:12, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Mass edits to NPC articles
Hi Rugbyfan22! Maybe you've noticed, maybe you've not, but an editor is making mass changes to the NPC pages (and has also done the same to Super Rugby articles and Heartland Championship articles). Some of them seem justified, like replacing all instances of "rugbybox collapsible" to un-collapsible rugbyboxes for reasons of accessibility. Some others are pretty trivial, like removing spaces from the code. However, some others just have to do with the personal preference of the editor and are unnecessary (for example, changing the parameter of a "home" game to "team1" and "away" game to "team2", although both work perfectly fine).

One of the changes causing problems is replacing the Template:Rugby union team and Template:Rugby union stadium with the name of the article those links go to. Like replacing 🇷🇺 with Rugby League Park, Christchurch. This results in the old stadium name appearing in articles, instead of the one that is in use during this specific season, although it's technically the same venue. In my opinion, the articles should mention the name that is in use at the time. Similar: we call the Bunnings NPC the Bunnings NPC now, and it was Mitre 10 Cup, ITM Cup and Air NZ Cup previously. We're not going to change that in articles either. The "Auckland Blues"' name changed to Blues; we're not going to change that in older articles either.

If you can find the time, I'd like to ask you for your opinion. You can find my - quite frustrated - response to the editor here. And here is an older discussion. Maybe you agree with that editor, maybe not, but I've lost all appetite for editing due to all his edits. Ruggalicious (talk) 02:08, 14 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I agree that some of the changes are trivial and don't really make too much difference to the articles, but don't see any real harm in changing them if the editor wants to change them. They make no real difference to the articles. In terms of sponsored names for stadiums, it's my opinion that if sourcing for the specific season uses a specific stadium name then we should be using that name, as has been local consensus for Super Rugby, Currie Cup, NPC and other Southern Hemisphere competitions on Wikipedia since I have been editing. In Northern Hemisphere and other sports such as football it seems that using non-sponsored names is preferred, probably hence the changes, but as I said this is the way it has always been done since I've been involved in editing, although the majority of editors involved when I started no longer edit.
