Season-long competition navboxes
Now we seem to have all the race articles (thanks to, and I'm sure others), what do you think about having a navbox for each year of the season-long competitions (e.g. )? It would be very good for navigating between articles obviously, as although categories are good I doubt they are used much. BaldBoris 14:03, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I have done that for Challenge Desgrange-Colombo, although as a series that was a lot simpler/cleaner (max 11 races, not chopping and changing each year). My intetion is to start year-by-year articles for Super Prestige Pernod and add the navboxes as I go, but I would think there are enough race articles already in existence to make navboxes worthwhile already. But the series changed races almost every year (if not every year). All in all 46 different races were included (see User:Severo/sandbox/Super Prestige Pernod). Severo (talk) 15:06, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay great! See User:BaldBoris/Team links for help with the codes. Most are quite obvious. I created team articles for all post-WWII Tours, so I assume that'll cover most in the comps. Also if you weren't aware, the Delpher site is a great place to find sources up to 1995 (548 for "Super Prestige Pernod"). Memoire du cyclisme is good, but I don't think some of the other cycling sites are as reliable in my experience. BaldBoris 16:25, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * In regards to categorisation, the season-long competition articles/navboxes are wrongly placed, as they aren't races, in Category:Women's road bicycle races, Category:Men's road bicycle races, Category:Men's cycling races navigational boxes and Category:Women's cycling races navigational boxes. With the articles for example, Category:Cycling season-long competitions at the top to Category:Women's season-long competitions or Category:Women's road season-long competitions seems better. We also have Category:Road cycling by year navigational boxes 2020–2004. Category:Sports seasons by sport is missing "cycling" apart from team seasons. I'm just bringing this to your attention as I believe you know your cats and didn't want to go ahead myself and mess it up. I hope some of that made sense... BaldBoris 16:25, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I do think some work needs to take place on the higher level of the categories there. We have and under that . I'm not convinced "league" is the right term, although it kind of is? Severo (talk) 21:25, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I can't see any of the other Wikis having that cat, just the Arabic ones thatI assume copied you. Maybe have a look at how other websites have organised things. BaldBoris 22:00, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Ha, I hadn;t realised I was the creator of all those years ago. Most of the other language wikis aren't great on categorization. What it seems to me is cycling competitions break down like this:
 * Championships
 * World Championships
 * Continental Championships
 * National Championships
 * Season-long competitions (sub-cat of sports seasons by sport?)
 * Cycling at multi sports events
 * So it seems to be one category should cover these three types? Have I missed anything out of them? These apply across disciplines, of course. Individual cycling races would then have a different parent category. How does that sound? Severo (talk) 22:15, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thinking about it, just rename to, as that's what's in there, and create  within.
 * Sports seasons by sport
 * Cycling team seasons
 * Season-long cycling competitions
 * I believe that's our current problem solved. BaldBoris 00:28, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry that's wrong. There's →  →  etc, as well as . So it's clear we need,  →  →.
 * Now for → ...  is also in, which is in  (no cycling apart from ). Those cats are either tours and series‎. So move  to ? Then leave the Championships and Cycling at multi sports events in Cycling competitions. BaldBoris 09:38, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * How would that interact with ? Perhaps that would be better as ? (other sports to maintain year in sport as well as season in sport. Severo (talk) 10:12, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * 1959 Super Prestige Pernod would be in and . Everything I said before is how others do it and the most obvious way forward. A season doesn't always last a year, that's why "tours and series". Just like  and . BaldBoris 10:26, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, wires were crossed. I propose moving to  (they're not seasons)‎. Then separately create  matching.
 * 1999 season in cycle sport
 * 1999 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup
 * 1999 UCI Road World Cup
 * 1999 UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics
 * I can't of anything better. The uncommons such as would have to be in both 2006 and 2007? BaldBoris 13:02, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * There is so maybe ? Tree from cycling competitions would be:
 * Cycling competitions
 * Cycling at multi-sport events
 * Cycle racing competition tours and series/Annual cycle racing series
 * UCI Road World Cup
 * 1999 UCI Road World Cup
 * Cycle races
 * Cycling championships
 * There is some gap between "cycle sport" and "cycle racing", the former includes trials and cycle polo etc; the majority of Wikipedia though focuses on things which are racing. Severo (talk) 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Probably as those are the titles (UCI World Tour). The title of  is "Road bicycle racing top-level season-long rankings, tours and series". Not sure why "tours" is first (nothing for and tours")? Although, it might conflict with "Tour de/of" races. So you're saying is match  with  →, just in case BMX or polo articles come along? BaldBoris
 * I do worry on this that if tours is included then every individual race will be added to the category. Severo (talk) 22:26, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay drop it to avoid that happening. BaldBoris 22:52, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
 * See Categories for discussion/Log/2020 April 15. Severo (talk) 23:01, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
 * On a side, Categories for discussion has some "Years in.." cycling cats up. Also, shouldn't contain the road races right? BaldBoris 22:54, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The road races should be in . Going through some of the UCI Road World Cup races recently I have noticed that the categorization is inconsistent regarding and e.g. . We should work towards some consistency with these. Severo (talk) 22:26, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Category:Directeur sportifs
I'm having another category quandary with and. The former has directeur sportifs in it (expected?), and the latter is clearly underpopulated. The French Wiki has it the other way around in fr:Catégorie:Directeur sportif de formation cycliste and fr:Catégorie:Entraîneur de cyclisme. And then there's the sole commons:Category:Cycling coaches, which has both. What way do you think we should go? The question is if two are actually required considering a directeur sportif is just a coach in a car, meaning just having ? BaldBoris 20:52, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I guess the problem is in road cycling that most people will occupy parts of both jobs (in track cycling they will be simply coaches). You would think a "pure" coach is there to train their riders on a day-to-day basis, ensure the mix of fitness and strength and so on. A "pure" DS would not be involved in their day to day at all, but give the team talk in the bus and then shout at everyone from the car. Most DSs probably do a bit of both - in charge of tactics at the race, but involved a bit in their riders' preparations. Given the size of the categories, I don't think merging them as categories would be harmful (given they will be split by nationality anyway). I suspect all the riders who have gone on to become DSs after their riding days aren't being captured in any category (e.g. Nicolas Portal, Max Sciandri, Pablo Lastras). Something like ? There are not many examples of combined categories from other sports (football puts managers in both the and  categories, and there is ). Severo (talk) 21:45, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, a merge seems best. Especially considering the amount teams chop and change their DSs depending on the race. In the case of Dave Brailsford, he's a general manager. So is your proposal an inclusion of that title? Does "mangers" cover general managers and sporting directors? uses only "General manager" and "Team manager(s)"... BaldBoris 22:18, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes I would include all team managers and coaches. Separate tree for "executives and administrators", currently at which is a child of  and I think would be better at  which could include notable people of federations, race organisers etc. Severo (talk) 22:31, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Organized labour project
Thank you for earlier joining the Organized Labour project. I've been a participant in the project since 2006 and am helping with a revival of it. As part this we are introducing a new membership system, which will help with communications among participants. This involves creating a membership file for each participant within your user space (you can see an example of my membership card here: User:Goldsztajn/WikiProjectCards/WikiProject Organized Labour). This system is already in operation within a number of wikiprojects (such as Women in Red and Medicine). You will not have to do anything, myself or someone else from the project will create the relevant file within your userspace. However, I am conscious that it is not polite to change an editor's userspace without notice. If I don't hear from you in the negative, I will go ahead with making the change after the 18th of January. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Many thanks for supporting the project, in solidarity,--Goldsztajn (talk) 11:09, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
