Template talk:Match in progress


This issue has raised its head again in various discussions hence this nomination. Wikipedia is not a live scoring site and the existence of this template creates the impression to its user of legitimacy. There have been edit wars with inexperienced users who believe the practice of adding live scores is ok. However if the practice is condoned then there is no need for us to provide the template and help legitimise its use. Blethering  Scot  17:54, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
