Watchlist

For participants to be able to follow changes to pages and sub-pages of the project, please add Category:WikiProject Football to any page of the project you create. To follow all changes to the pages, see the related changes of the above mentioned category. This will work as a sort of watchlist for pages related to the project.

The table below lists articles that regularly need attention. This is usually because of higher rates of vandalism than other pages, it attracts a lot of attention from new users or if it is currently in the middle of an edit war. If you have time, please add these articles to your watchlist and help out when you notice vandalism/crappy edits etc.

There is currently a rough set of criteria for inclusion in this list. These are:

  • three instances of vandalism/reverts in a week.
  • Or, if the article is currently under some form of page protection, this can be extended to two weeks.

Also included here are articles that are featured article candidates (FAC) that failed, those that have undergone peer review (PR) as part of an effort to get them to FA status, and those that have achieved good article (GA) status, the next-highest level of quality.
