'Beyond Greatness' with the Logo

So there is some back and forth happening here, so thought I would bring it to the talk page @SuperBatman12:@Hariboneagle927:. I have to say that I am with SuperBatman12 here in the use of the slogan, sure it wasn't in the 2018 FIFA World Cup but it was for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, 2010 FIFA World Cup, 2006 FIFA World Cup. Even when you look at past Women's World Cups, it was in the infobox for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup and as SuperBatman12 has pointed out, those Euro articles as well. I think it is more a case of some World Cups don't have an official slogan rather than it's not permitted in the infobox itself and since the slogan is an official part of this World Cup and the logo, it makes sense to have it in the article infobox.— NZFC 20:25, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Okay I might have overlooked the other editions but my stance remains the same "caption" is not meant to portray any information aside from a description of the image which is usually the logo. Probably we could suggest for a dedicated motto/slogan field for Template:Infobox international football competition similar to the Olympic pages. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 10:54, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Notes

To put it briefly, there is no reasoning as to why 'Notes' shouldn't be it's own category here. I read WP:OSE and I think that's a baseless argument that doesn't not apply. The stance I have is not entirely based purely on articles such as or similar to (FIFA World Cup 2022) but rather I refer to them as to why it's structured that way. The current format of having notes directly below the pots is very unnecessarily for no benefit, and dilutes the purpose of having notes/references if the notes are already stated directly below. If we were to include additional notes in the future, should they also go into the same place the notes are currently? I think it's more beneficial to have a section primarily so we can included additional notes and compile it into one place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.42.114 (talk) 00:43, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

If {{efn}} is used to its fullest potential, multiple groups of notes can be created and placed in appropriate locations. Notes within a table are best placed at the bottom of that table, and general notes in the prose are best placed at the end of the article. 19:49, 21 October 2022 (UTC) — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 19:49, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Constraint

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

If anyone has seen the draw for the group stage, they might have noticed in group E that there is the potential of a Vietnam v Thailand fixture on 27 July 2023 which does not follow the standard rule that two teams from the same federation can't be drawn against each other, barring UEFA. Not sure how it ended that way apart from the obvious fact that the balls were drawn that way in addition to the constraints already taken into account. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 09:15, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

The constraint for the slot was applied to the highest ranked team in that playoff which is Portugal - UEFA... So "Play-off Group A" cant be drawn to a group with 2 UEFA teams. A potential Vietnam v. Thailand fixture is permissible. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 09:43, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for this explanation. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 09:47, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Difference between Vietnam and Ireland

I'd like to know what's the difference between "This is Vietnam's first ever FIFA women's competition, having only taken part in various FIFA men's tournaments" and "the Republic of Ireland marked their first-ever debut at any senior women's tournament". Isn't it basically the same thing? Gianluca91 (talk) 22:39, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Ireland have appeared in the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 08:19, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Visit Saudi controversy

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

FIFA has recently announced that it is about to sign a deal with Saudi Tourist Authority, but by far, FIFA has not announced if "Visit Saudi" is going to be named as one of the sponsors or not. There are rages from Australian and New Zealand officials, as well as famous female footballers like Alex Morgan, calling FIFA to not sign it. We will have to wait if FIFA wants to allow it to happen. HiddenFace101 (talk) 19:09, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

New Venue Map

Following upon the new {{OSM Location map}} format currently present in the men's 2022 and 2026 tournament, I have drafted this version intended to replace the current {{Location map+}} being used. This would allow the venues section more compact and simplified whilst still retaining the same information used in the current format.

Geographically, the map is centered in between the two host countries. They're also color-coded based upon the host countries branding during the tournament, with such example can be found on FIFA's hospitality website. Feedback and thoughts are most welcome. Kiwifury (talk) 06:57, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

@Kiwifury: I have two comments/suggestions:

1. There should be a greater contrast between the colors used for Australia and New Zealand (while still conforming to MOS:COLOR, of course). I'm at work right now, and because the room is kept fairly dark I have my monitors' brightness turned down and a "nightlight" mode turned on. This reduces the amount of blue light being produced and causes the colors to appear nearly identical. Perhaps a darker hue such has "dark gray" (#333322) for New Zealand?
2. Is there a way to break out the "5" and "6" from Sydney, e.g. one to the east and one to the south, with a line pointing to the city? The way they overlap makes them pretty much illegible. If that is not possible, I don't think it's that big a deal.

Other than that, you did a great job once again! — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 17:33, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

@Jkudlick: Thanks for the feedback, haven't really had the time to rework some of the changes. I've adjusted the colors of the labels to it has more contrast and is more recognizable whilst keeping on brand with the tournament. Regarding the two Sydney icons, I'm not too sure on how to work around it. I do agree the overlap on the map is illegible. Given the mark parameters used refer to the host cities rather than the stadia itself, a solution could be to combine both labels into one? Kiwifury (talk) 13:10, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

@Kiwifury: I think this looks very good. The only thing I would change is the NZ legend numbers being white instead of black, otherwise it looks great. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 16:13, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Tazuni

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Tazuni is the name of the new mascot of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. She is a female penguin. But there is another Tazuni, a famous lesbian penguin from the Central Park Zoo. There seems to be a lot of overlap. Was this issue addressed in some way? I imagine there could be copyright problems for FIFA. 212.171.17.134 (talk) 11:35, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Names cannot be protected by copyright as copyright is reserved for creative works (e.g. books and pictures), nor can personal names be protected under US trademark law. Given that the tournament is in New Zealand and Australia, the issue with the penguin in the United States having the same name is pretty much moot. Besides, it would be up to the Central Park Zoo to file suit, and they don't have the resources to spend on something so trivial. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 13:41, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Football (soccer) in the lede

Some users seem to think that the use of football (soccer) is merely a disambiguation of "football" and are replacing it with "association football". I do not know if the original addition of "(soccer)" was intentionally fulfilling ENGVAR requirements, but as I see it, this is the main purpose: that in Australia and New Zealand (which could be considered strong national ties for the subject) the sport is called both football and soccer about the same, perhaps even more soccer, and so both should be included. And including "soccer" means adding "association" would be redundant. Happy to have discussion on whether national ties count for hosts of international tournaments, which has been proposed for FIFA World Cups before. Kingsif (talk) 20:24, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (Football in Australia) provides some solid information on local usage in Australia. It is a guideline for usage in Australian articles, and says to describe the sport as soccer (note the disambiguation) to avoid confusion with several other sports known by at least some of their fans there as football. (If you want some light reading, and have several days of spare time, the Talk page of that article will show that the creation of that seemingly simple guideline generated just a little bit of heat.) This article, of course, isn't really an Australian article. It's a global one. I'm not sure where that takes us. The situation is simpler in New Zealand. Football seems to be the common word there to describe the round ball game. HiLo48 (talk) 00:50, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Given both "football" and "soccer" are used in the English-speaking host countries, and this is an international tournament, it would make the most sense to use the full, unambiguous name of the sport. Since there are no strong ties to a single English-speaking nation, MOS:TIES is not decisive here. MOS:COMMONALITY suggests to use universally accepted terms rather than those less widely distributed, and "association football" is the formal name of the sport which cannot be confused with other codes. The phrase "football (soccer)" is also an awkward wording, we would not write "elevator (lift)" as a compromise on articles lacking strong national ties. The same wording was formerly used as the article title of the sport, which wasn't actually a disambiguation but an awful compromise to use both terms. S.A. Julio (talk) 01:20, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

As long as it's not "women's association football" again (which produced the powerful fragment: Women's World Cup, the women's association football tournament contested by women's national teams, as if readers struggled to understand the concept of women). If users agree that TIES does not apply for Australian ENGVAR, there should be no need to include "soccer". I expect it will come up again when the tournament is underway, and as this is a consensus of only a few users, I imagine it will be discussed again. Kingsif (talk) 01:30, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Inclusion of Auckland Shooting

This shooting has nothing to do with the World Cup, and should not be mentioned in the article, imo. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 05:26, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for starting discussion. Why do think it has nothing to do with the World Cup? Like, I would try to explain why I (and presumably the three users that added it before me) believe it does, but that would just be repeating the text in the article. Oh, and the new reports that there is more security at Eden Park. Sure the shooter did not, apparently, have disrupting the World Cup as a motive, but his actions have still done that. I'm gonna have to be offline for most of the day, but I encourage other editors to contribute (and I assume there will be active users at projects above that would be happy to). Kingsif (talk) 06:17, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

I agree with Sportsfan 1234, and rather than thanking them for starting this discussion, YOU should have started it as requested, instead of edit warring. The shooting is having negligible impact on the World Cup. Keep this article about the sport, not extraneous events. HiLo48 (talk) 07:58, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Three users added the information before I simply moved it and made one revert of an unexplained removal; you removed it twice before I ever touched it. I say this to point out that the ONUS to discuss was clearly on the two users wanting to remove it in the face of multiple users independently adding it. Kingsif (talk) 01:36, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Every single news article is linking the two events, and it did actually have a direct impact on the World Cup, because a minute of silence was held before the first match. However, I do agree that there should not be undue weight given unless there is an actually lasting impact. A sentence or two mentioning the shooting should be enough. (By the way, it really does not matter at all who starts the discussion, as long as it is started. You or I could have done it too.) ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 10:11, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, mention it in the opening ceremony section (it already is). I think it does not need its own section. -Koppapa (talk) 14:32, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

@Koppapa: With the fan zone being closed, at least one team unable to go to training, heightened security at the opening match, the moments of silence at matches, and whatever else is mentioned, it seems to be out of scope to be contained in the opening ceremony section. It could be that these details are mentioned at various different relevant places, or all contained in one section about the effect the shooting had on the World Cup. (And, @Jochem van Hees:, if I dare get my crystal ball out, the lasting impact will probably be that this World Cup is remembered as the one that kicked off with a shooting...)

after the Nigeria Canada Draw

Hi

Is there anyway of ensuring only numbers in the points column for teams. I am using the wikipedia pages for my work fantasy league and google sheets can't transform the data. It would really help me out and make the content more accessible.

The clutter has been removed Pauseypaul (talk) 14:10, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Tom, this has been removed, but because a recent editing guide recommends so (see below); I feel the need to point out that it's not so (in the nicest way) one guy can scrape information a bit more easily. It's nice that the edits have been helpful to everyone here, but these sorts of requests will typically get you nowhere. Kingsif (talk) 21:57, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

I don't know why you're taking an attitude, nowhere did I say or even suggest it was wrong - it just rarely happens that "change formatting for non-WP reason" is accepted and Tom shouldn't expect it happen again based on it being done now. Kingsif (talk) 01:12, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Discipline

I have removed the untidy and cluttered notes and numbers added to the standing box for Group B. Each Group has their own page with a Discipline box at the bottom for Fair play points and notes. Which are there to help easy understanding of Group stage tiebreakers.

It is unhelpful if editors cherry pick one match and is inconsistent with present editing guides after the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Pauseypaul (talk) 14:03, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Those "untidy" notes are useful for understanding at a glance why one team is placed higher than another if they have the same number of points, goals against, and goals scored. There is no reason to remove that information until it is no longer relevant; in the case of Group B, it was necessary to indicate on the table why Canada was placed ahead of Nigeria. These tables are transcluded in multiple articles, and the whole point of Misplaced Pages is to make it easier to share information; requiring someone to search amongst multiple articles to find this out is the antithesis of that. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 18:17, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Wait, I thought Paul just moved the information below the table, that's what he made it sound like?
I didn't myself say anything about his strange reference to cherry-picking matches based on his response to my comment in the section above, but this indicates he doesn't understand the purpose so I would hope he didn't just remove information he doesn't understand. Yes, if he didn't keep the information accessible that's not okay - especially if he did so just so one guy can scrape information a bit more easily - making Misplaced Pages content worse for a non-Misplaced Pages reason, not understanding that's what you're doing, and having an attitude about it is all not okay. Kingsif (talk) 01:48, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

The information was actually removed from the Group B table in the template, but was later restored. It's not our problem that someone can't be bothered to type the data themselves for an off-Misplaced Pages purpose rather than scrape it. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 15:39, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

template incorrect?

Top two teams in group stage shouldn't be marked "Advance to knockout round" until this is final

As of July 26, round robin play is still underway in the group stage, so it seems confusing to show the top two teams in each group table in green with the comment "Advance to knockout stage." For example, the table for Group E reflects the results of only two games, but someone looking at this table today will think the United States and Netherlands are advancing to the knockout stage.

It's good that the teams in each table are ordered based on the results of games played to date, but I don't think two teams within a given group should be marked in green with "Advance to knockout stage" until we know for certain who the two advancing teams are. (Usually that happens at the end of the round robin, but it could happen with a game still unplayed. It never happens with only two games played, as is currently the case for Groups D and E, for example.) Unfortunately I can't figure out how to adjust the table coding to fix this, so could someone else please adjust it? RCTodd (talk) 15:50, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

The usage of (A) or (E) will tell people who advances and who does not, see the table in group C where a further two matches have been played which were to determine the outcome on who finishes in the top two. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 17:35, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

That's true, but then you do have to know already that's how Misplaced Pages indicates it. If someone who is not familiar with these kinds of tables and doesn't follow the WC closely just skips to a certain group to see how it's going, they would see "Advance to knockout stage" for two teams, and might assume that it's definitive. I think this would be a very small group of people, but that is what the article's saying right now, and never underestimate how lazy people are with reading other parts of the article. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 23:27, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Group stage tie-breaking procedure is wrong

If Republic of Ireland are eliminated then the group stage tie-break criteria must be wrong. Goal difference between all the teams cannot be the second criterion gingerdaveski (talk) 16:33, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Ireland are already out. Having lost two matches, the maximum they can achieve is three points. Canada already have 4, and Nigeria play Australia tomorrow. If Nigeria win, they will have 4 points. If it is a draw, Australia will have 4 points. Moons of Io (talk) 16:49, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
