Template:West Australian Football League team → Template:WAFL team – in short, consistency. Using the full league name in the title is inconsistent with other leagues' templates that use the abbreviated form, including the other WAFL templates (the league template being the exception due to the use of {{WAFL}} as a redirect for this template that we're discussing here), as well as similar templates such as Template:AFL team for other leagues; this particular template was only created recently as a result of a TfD but should have been created with the abbreviated title like the AFL template was (and like SANFL, etc. are likely to be when we start working on them).

Oppose this, mainly because WAFL is ambiguous; template names should be clear as to their function, and taking a guess as to which WAFL is being referenced is not clear. Primefac (talk) 10:50, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

It's a little bit of a separate question, but I'm unsure why WAFL is a disambig page. It seems to me quite clear that the most common and notable WAFL is the West Australian Football League (as opposed to footy competitions in non-footy nations, one of them being a women's comp too). If that's sorted out, no ambiguity. Also none of the others are notable enough to have individual pages about their teams or navboxes. --SuperJew (talk) 13:32, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Oppose. Article is at West Australian Football League, not WAFL. Gonnym (talk) 11:46, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Oppose. While the consistency argument is valid, I think that consistency with the related article would be more significant than consistency with similar templates. – Michael Aurel (talk) 13:23, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
