Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/League season

This page is part of the WikiProject on Football and is a proposal for the general style and contents of an article on a league season. Please discuss any changes on the talk page before editing this page.

Article title should be composed of, in the following order:
 * Year(s) of the season, with en dash as interval mark: 1234, 1234–35, 2999–3000.
 * Name of the league.
 * If there are two separate championships played over the course of one season (for example, in many Latin American countries with their Apertura/Clausura system) OR the season is decided by a knock-out tournament after the conclusion of the regular season (e.g. Major League Soccer, Australian A-League), the word "season" should be attached to the title. This note should be using move discussions

(The introduction should be kept roughly similar to this style. The infobox should keep line breaks to a minimum. Included information should be kept at the minimum because of the restricted space; for example, starting rounds for European competitions or flags and clubs and flagicon of top goalscorers should be avoided. Any data which cannot be directly retrieved from the league, results or goalscorers tables of the article must be sourced.)

The 3333–34 Templatonian Premier League season (also known as the 3333–34 Templatonian Bank Premier League season for sponsorship reasons) is the 33rd season of top-tier football in Templaton. It began on August 30, 3333 and ended on May 31, 3334. Deportivo Template is the defending champion.

Changes from 3332–33
(This section should be used only if the competition format has changed from the previous season.)

For this season, the league will use a triple round-robin format. The league will also gain one additional berth to the Template Champions League for the following season.

Teams
(Use this to cover the changes in teams via promotion and relegation in prose. Use a table to list the teams participating in the league this season. The table should at least include the team name, the team's home city, and the team's stadium. The map is optional and should be ideally placed either on the right-hand side or on top of the stadium section, depending on the shape of the country; this guideline can be stretched for extreme cases, though. This section should contain only one subsection: Managerial changes. The contents of the "Managerial changes" table must be sourced, with the sources being attached to the respective date of each change.)

Season overview
''Use this section to write an overview of notable events that occurred throughout the season. It could include, but is not limited to, writing about decisive matches, primary factors as to why x-team won/relegated, notable player/manager arrivals, etc. This section should be well-written, properly sourced, and neutral in tone. This section should not be a list. The inclusion of this section is highly encouraged if it can be done properly. If not, this section is optional.''

Standings
(Use this section to display the league standings. Note: if the league season is structured into multiple stage/championships, each stage/championship should be second-level paragraphs. Module:Sports table is preferred to build these tables.)

Table formatting
The following set of rules have been formed by consensus to display these tables:
 * 1) Display all competitions in the qualification column as far as possible, for example "Qualification to Champions League Group stage and Final series" with the proper links to both tournament. This since it is not good to hide qualifications in the notes and for example if teams 1 and 2 dont show "final series" readers may think they dont participate in that tournament. The colour should be that of the most important tournament so first copper followed by green and blue.
 * 2) Wikilinks to the tournaments should be according to discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 91. That means "2015 FIFA Club World Cup" would be "Club World Cup" and 2014-15 UEFA Champions League" should be "Champions League" (with wikilink to correct season tournament like Champions League Group stage ). In cases with multiple tournaments rounds may also be omitted like "Qualification to Champions League and Final series" if the information gets long.
 * 3) Use the following colouring scheme:

Results
(Use this section to display the results. A fixtures table can also be displayed with the standings table if Module:Sports table is used, so long as each team faces each other team no more than twice.)

Module:Sports results should be used for the results table:

Top goalscorers
(In terms of statistics, a table of the top goalscorers should be the minimum. Goalscorers list should be kept to the top ten and those with the same amount of goals as the tenth.)

Statistics
(NOTE: The inclusion of this section is not decided yet as it may contain stuff which should be avoided per WP:NOT and WP:TRIVIA. A possibly suitable set of facts should be discussed at the talk page. In any case, everything which should make the cut has to be sourced!)
