Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia! Listed below are some brief introductions containing all the basics needed to use, comment on, and contribute to Wikipedia.
- Main Introduction — What is Wikipedia?
- The Five Pillars — What are the principles behind Wikipedia?
- Wikipedia:A Primer for newcomers — A good starting point.
- Quick Introductions to:
- Policies and guidelines — How does Wikipedia actually work?
- Talk pages — How do I communicate in Wikipedia?
- Referencing — How do I add sources to articles?
- Uploading images — How do I add and use images?
- Navigating Wikipedia — How do I find my way around?
- What Wikipedia is not - even though everyone can edit it, Wikipedia is still an encyclopedia.
If you want to know more about a specific subject, Help:Help explains how to navigate the many help pages.
- Google: Wikipedia is very well indexed by Google. Searching for a term, even about an editing question, followed by "wiki" or "wikipedia" usually pulls up what you need.
Where next?
- If you wish to express an opinion or make a comment, Where to ask questions will point you in the correct direction.
- If you would like to edit an article, the Basic tutorial will show you how, and How to help will give you some ideas for things to edit.
- If you would like to create a new article, Starting an article will explain how to create a new page, with tips for success and a link to Wikipedia's Article Wizard, which can guide you through the process of submitting a new article to Wikipedia.
- For more support and some friendly contacts to get you started, the Editors' Welcome page or the Wikipedia:Teahouse page could be your next stop!

Pro12 Transfers 2015/16
Hey man,
Thanks for response. Regarding the order of names, it is indeed a alphabetical list. Chronological makes absolutely no sense. Mostly signings are announced in bulk, the order in which they sign is neither known or relevant and the order of announcing these deals it not relevant. As with all squad lists etc., the order is alphabetical.
Also, you're hyperlinking to pages that don't exist for some reason (i.e. some Italian players), again there is no point in this unless the pages are created.
Finally, a "development contract" is a senior squad contract, at present there are at least 5 players in Leinster who are listed on the senior squad at Leinsterrugby.ie and announced as renewals at the begining of the season. For example, Sam Coghlin Murray who is in the senior squad was given a 1 year development contract at the end of his academy contract: "Last year he played in the region of 26 games, was a prominent player for the A team in the British & Irish Cup, got recognised on the back of that, and got a development contract until the end of the year." (http://www.pro12rugby.com/mobile/15307.php#.VOY50PmsWSo)
I'm not sure if you understand the difference in Irish rugby, but a "development contract" is a senior squad player coming from the academy. Very rarely is a full contract given immediately out of the academy. Here's another example: "He secured a development contract for season 2013/14 after completing two years of the academy programme " re Munster senior squad player Niall Scannell (http://www.munsterrugby.ie/rugby/first_team_squad.php?player=105478&includeref=dynamic)
