Criteria guideline

edit
See also: Wikipedia:Importance and Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion of biographies.

WikiProject Rugby union participants have adopted the following guidelines for notability of a rugby union person for an article in Wikipedia:

  • Has appeared in at least one test match, sevens competition or domestic rugby competition, as player, umpire, coach or administrator
  • Has appeared in at least one first class rugby union match

Please note that the failure to meet these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept.

For more information see WikiProject Rugby union's criteria for article inclusion.

Naming Conventions

Rugby union shall be written in lower case, such as rugby union, except when starting a sentence (such as in this one).

Also see Wikipedia naming conventions, for naming articles.

Summarise and link Referencing

When adding information or statistics, be sure to add a reference. Add the reference after the relevant sentence; using Wikipedia as an example:

<ref name=wiki1>{{cite web | publisher=wikipedia.org | title=Main page of Wikipedia | url=http://www.en.wikipedia.org/main| accessdate=2006-04-01}}</ref>

For more info on different citation styles (eg for websites, books, news, etc) see WP:CITET.

Then, put a references section at the bottom of the page, above the external links:

==References== <div style="font-size: 90%"> <references /> </div>

If you are using the same source a few paragraphs later, re-reference like this: <ref name=wiki1/>
