Now that this is almost universally rolled out, I've been giving some thought as to how we update this at the end of the season. For the national divisions, this should be fairly straightforward – perhaps one update on the final day of the season, then another one after the play-offs.
The issue comes once we get into the regionalised leagues, as it won't be known which division clubs are in until the FA have announced their step 2-4 allocations in mid-May. The risk is that the finishing positions are updated for the 2016–17 season, but the league transfers are missed because people assume that if it says 2016–17 in a line, it's already been fully updated.
The risk is even bigger for leagues at step 5 and below, as some league line-ups are not finalised until league AGMs well into June, and unlike the 2-4 allocations which are done centrally by the FA, they all happen on different dates.
One option is to avoid updating the template for regionalised leagues until the 2017–18 allocations are announced, although this would probably frustrate some readers who want it updated the minute the season finishes.
The alternative is to update the finishing positions, and then come back to update the new league allocations. This will be more beneficial to readers but carries the risks of missing updates. Perhaps if we go down this route, we should have a rule that:
- Only the finishing position is updated on the final day of the season/after the play-offs and we do not start moving clubs around on the template at that point, and then
- The new season's league/division is only updated after the FA allocations/league AGMs.
We could also put a marker against leagues where only the finishing positions have been updated (perhaps <!--Finishing positions updated only-->) and then remove this once the allocations are made.
Thoughts? Pinging @ Struway2, ChrisTheDude, Delusion23, and Drawoh46: as you guys commented on the original discussion at WP:FOOTY. Cheers, Number 5 7 20:11, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- @ Number 57: I go along with pretty well all you say. Regarding the regionalised leagues, I'd certainly recommend something along the lines of your suggested alternative, i.e. updating the season and position information as soon as the final matches of each division are played, and then updating them further after play-offs are complete. If this season and position information is not done promptly, then I can see many readers making their own amendments to the club articles, removing the templates in the process. I agree also that, for step 5 downwards, the new line-ups are not introduced until confirmed by the leagues (generally at their AGMs, but sometimes before). However, for a large number of leagues, it doesn't end with the AGM; changes are very often made long afterwards, sometimes even after first fixtures have been announced. So we need to keep a watch on all relevant leagues for any such changes, and make arrangements for the updater to be amended following each.
- I like the idea of having a marker indicating Finishing positions updated only; it would certainly be of help to anyone involved in the updating of the template.

- I agree that positions should be updated straight away, along with the new leagues for Levels 1–5. The regional divisions we usually need to wait until it is confirmed by the league committees. Best policy ultimately is to use common sense and in some cases it will be easier to simply update rather than argue. For example, if Blyth Spartans get promoted from the NPL, there is no way they will be placed into National League South. Vice versa with Truro City in the SFL.

I used to update the positions and leagues the old way, now this is not possible it appears. However, Merstham in the Isthmian Premier have been deducted points post season, but now nearly a month has passed and no one has updated the English football updater.
Secondly, it appears numerous clubs in the Isthmian 1 South haven't had the updater added to their individual club pages which obviously means their positions are not correct. I thought I could copy from another club but because each club has individual shortened codes I have no way of knowing what these are to be able to update them.
Both these issues need addressing but I have no knowledge of how this can be corrected, can someone please look into this.

Why do we need to write the "of", like 1st of 20, 2nd of 24, etc.? Before last season (until 2015–16) this is not the way it was written. Previously it was written 1st, 2nd, etc. like in other leagues?

Is there a list of the code names for the clubs somewhere? For instance, Brentford is "Brentfor". Beatpoet ( talk) 11:45, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- No; the way the codes are made is:
- Single name clubs: First eight letters of the club's name – e.g. Brentfor (Brentford) or Southamp (Southampton).
- Clubs with more than one word: X letters of the first word plus the initials of the second/third part of the name; X would be 7 for clubs with two words (ManchesU or WolverhW), six for clubs with three etc (PrestoNE, QueensPR). If the first part of a clubs name is less than the number of letters, the rest is filled out with letters from the second/third names (WestHamU, CreweAle).

Cool template. Where do I find the list of team abbreviations? Also, when will these update for the 2024-25 season? I'm assuming in June? Froglife94 ( talk) 14:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- There is no list but you should be able to work it out from the eight letters used. It will be updated after the Championship play-off final, as that will be the final piece of the jigsaw as far as promotions/relegations are concerned. Cheers,

- You can start updating the version in the

Hello everyone. I am trying to create a wiki page for Easton F.C in Norfolk, UK, but I am unsure what the abbreviation would be for a club with less than eight letters. They play in the Anglian Combination league. What would be the correct abbreviation to use to update the league section of a wiki page I aim to make for Easton F.C. Any advice would be great. Thank you. Norfolktallent ( talk) 20:10, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Clubs at that level aren't notable and an article on them would almost certainly be deleted.

- There are teams from lower tiers of the same league system who also have a Wikipedia page with clubs in the same tier of the English football league who also have Wikipedia pages:
