    * Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
    * Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."

    * Sport industry (currently a sub-stub)

Removed "Winged Helmets" edit

Removed "winged helmets" as part of the equipment since they do not differ from regular helmets in any way but the paint. Violates neutrality by promoting one (major) teams helmet over others. 75.185.5.127 (talk)

Nose guard or Nose tackle edit

I just merged Nose tackle into Nose guard while cleaning up the merge backlog. This template links to Nose Tackle, which is now a redirect to Nose guard. Not sure if it would be best to change the template or the name of the Nose Guard article. AIRcorn (talk) 07:01, 21 August 2010 (UTC)Reply Plans for American Football Articles edit

I am working on the templates for American football, please be patient while I try to streamline the football article organization. Thanks VictorianMutant (talk) 04:49, 23 September 2010 (UTC)Reply It's probably better to discuss your changes first. You can work on the template in your userspace, then present it for discussion as a finished work. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 04:56, 23 September 2010 (UTC)Reply Okay, started the discussion here. VictorianMutant (talk) 07:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC)Reply Formation types edit

Just curious how many different articles are there on formation types, because that could be a separate section unto itself. DandyDan2007 (talk) 12:53, 4 January 2011 (UTC)Reply Getting lengthy edit

@MisterCake: I think this is one of the largest navboxes I've ever seen. Maybe we should make penalties into a separate navbox, since that section seems to be eating up the most real estate. Then it can be subdivided into 5-, 10-, and 15- yard penalties. Or personal/team fouls etc. Lizard (talk) 02:46, 3 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

It's at that stage between many useful ones and one gigantic one. Would be fine with that. Cake (talk) 03:45, 3 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
