Stats in football players' infoboxes and update of career stats
Hi.

When you update the stats in football players' infoboxes please remember that you should also update the timestamps as of when the stats are correct. This is done by updating pcupdate (or club-update) parameter when updating club appearances and goals, or ntupdate (or nationalteam-update) when updating national team appearances and goals. The easiest way to do this is to use five tildes, which automatically converts to the current time. For example club-update.

When you update the career statistics please remember that you should also update that timestamp as well to a time when the stats are correct. This is done by manually updating the date above or below the statistics table. By doing this we show when the stats were last updated and it prevents other editors from accidentally updating the stats again.

This is done to show other editors when the stats were last updated and prevent them from accidentally updating the stats again, and also it shows readers that it has been updated.

Please keep this in mind. Thank you. Qed237&#160;(talk) 20:09, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Live updates
Hi.

Please do not update statistics or scores while a match is in progress. Instead, wait until the match has finished before updating. At WikiProject Football there is a consensus not to add live scores and also a consensus not to update any statistics while a match is in progress. Without live updates it is easier to avoid duplicate information and errors from being published on the article.

Please keep this in mind. Thank you. Qed237&#160;(talk) 20:09, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
