== NFL rulebook has moved ==

The NFL rule book has moved from where the "Motion" article linked to it (http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/rulebook/pdfs/24_Penalty_Summary.pdf) in its footnote 7.

I have not searched for other such invalid references, as I am sure that can best be done by an automated procedure.

I recommend that all "external references" to the NFL rule book should use this web page:
https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-rulebook/
which contains a link to a downloadable PDF and presumably will be kept valid more reliably than other sources. ] (]) 22:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Discussion at Misplaced Pages:Content assessment

 You are invited to join the discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Content assessment#Proposal: Reclassification of Current & Future-Classes as time parameter, which is within the scope of this WikiProject. This WikiProject received this message because it currently uses "Current" and/or "Future" class(es). There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Misplaced Pages (per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects. Thanks! —CX Zoom 20:52, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

American football stubs

Misplaced Pages guidelines were changed early last year to require that all sports biographies have at least one piece of WP:SIGCOV (not counting database entries). In recent months, there have been efforts to draftify en masse sport substubs that do not comply with this requirement. Accordingly, we have begun a campaign to improve American football biographies that could be targeted in a similar RfC. See full list of most vulnerable American football articles here. The list is not intended as criticism of anyone, as such stubs were permitted prior to the change in policy. Instead, the purpose is to encourage each of us to clean up these stubs so as to avoid draftification or deletion. I am hoping that all American football project members will revisit some of these articles to add the required SIGCOV. Thanks, Cbl62 (talk) 01:00, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Roster templates for USFL

Could someone with knowledge of USFL templates please check recent edits in the following articles:

The pattern of using NFL-templates in these articles is suspicious, because USFL-specific templates exist. Courtesy ping: User:Danjobilly1.

I only noticed this, because I was removing these articles from non-article Category:United States Football League (2022) roster templates. —⁠andrybak (talk) 23:24, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

NFL rulebook has moved

The NFL rule book has moved from where the "Motion" article linked to it (http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/rulebook/pdfs/24_Penalty_Summary.pdf) in its footnote 7.

I have not searched for other such invalid references, as I am sure that can best be done by an automated procedure.

I recommend that all "external references" to the NFL rule book should use this web page: 

https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-rulebook/

which contains a link to a downloadable PDF and presumably will be kept valid more reliably than other sources. Soargain (talk) 22:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
