The WikiProject Figure Skating style guide applies to articles within the scope of WikiProject Figure Skating. It represents the consensus view of editors interested in maintaining Wikipedia's articles about figure skating. As the recommendations strike a balance between differing views, some may appear less than perfect. Nonetheless, please respect them, and feel free to discuss the style advice on this talk page.
Figure skating is a complicated sport, with intricate rules and a long history. As Wikipedia editors, it is our responsibility to make the sport accessible (as per WP:TECHNICAL and MOS:JARGON) even to the "uninitiated figure skating fan", i.e. those who only watch it every four years during the Winter Olympics. At the same time, we need to clearly describe the complexities of the sport, including its scoring system, elements, history, etc., without sacrificing comprehensiveness and good sources. Remember that we are not writing for skaters, coaches, choreographers, judges, officials, family members, or skating nerds, but for a general audience.
Many of the style requirements in Wikipedia's manual of style (MOS) apply to figure skating articles; the guidelines here are what needs to be emphasized. Wikipedia guidelines regarding biographies and biographies of living persons, for articles about individual figure skaters, must also be followed.
Figure skating is a complex sport and performing art with a long list of technical terms and competition rules. It is subject to continuous changes regarding performed elements, judging criteria, and scoring systems, which require a high degree of sensitivity and accuracy in wording. However, figure skating is also a sport that casual readers may only watch every four years at the Winter Olympics, not being familiar with its rules and terms.
This sub-page gives an overview of the most important terms and wikilinks to the respective articles. It lists the terms with their correct spelling, abbreviation, and formatting style as well as concise definitions and distinctions from each other, providing guidance in how to make figure skating articles accessible to the widest possible general audience.
Example: Though the wording "a backward counter triple Axel" is technically correct, it may sound very cryptic to most readers, making it difficult to understand the full sentence. The following methods can help to make the term more accessible:
Figure skating articles should follow the guidelines for article structure as per MOS:LEAD and WP:SECTIONS. Some differences do exist for figure skating articles.
Tables in figure skating articles and lists follow the general Wikipedia manual of style as per MOS:TABLE. That includes:
The lead section is a concise summary of the article body, following the style guidelines of MOS:LEAD for biographies.

A similar table format should be used for lists of highest scores.
Please use the following templates for program lists: {{ Figure skating program list}} and {{ FS program}}
The following additional information if known and sourced, should be added to the list:
Sourcing: For competition programs, add a reference in the season column with |refx=
, using the
skater's ISU bios. For past seasons, try the
Wayback Machine. In case of gala or ice show programs, use reliable secondary sources like online newspaper articles or the official page of the show (some have the planned programs listed), and place the reference directly after the program title.
Formatting: With the templates above, you no longer have to bother with formatting. However, a set of general rules should be followed: The program title should be of normal font size, all other information added as a bulleted list in small font size using the {{ smalldiv}} template. The track list should be collapsed with the {{ show}} template to keep the table at reasonable size. It is enough to include the detailed results once for the program debut. For all reuses, list the program title only (see example table below). For better structure of the table, Olympic seasons and programs can be highlighted as demonstrated in the example below.
Do NOT use the horizontal rule (----) to separate programs within a cell, as it confuses screenreaders and limits the accessibility of the table. Work with the rowspan-parameter instead.

For the interest of broadness and comprehensiveness in figure skating articles, there are times when it is necessary to follow the ignore all rules policy. For example, articles that discuss the rules of figure skating must often be self-published by the International Skating Union (ISU) or other organizations that oversee the sport. Some of the best reporting on the sport is done in-house, by the ISU and other organizations.
Resources
In some cases, old page versions from previous seasons (like skaters' bios) are archived with the Wayback Machine. Just enter the URL-address of the current page and search its archive history by years. Here is an example link to all screenshots of Javier Fernández' ISU bios page that were archived in 2017.
Please help archiving skating-related web pages yourself as well if they have not been saved with the Wayback Machine yet, so that they are available as sources in the future. It is suggested that editors check that all sources used in figure skating articles and bios have been archived and then place the following template on their talk pages:
As of [month 202x], all sources in this article have been archived using Internet Archive. |

For the interest of broadness and comprehensiveness in figure skating articles, there are times when it is necessary to follow the ignore all rules policy. For example, articles that discuss the rules of figure skating must often be self-published by the International Skating Union (ISU) or other organizations that oversee the sport. Some of the best reporting on the sport is done in-house, by the ISU and other organizations.
Resources
In some cases, old page versions from previous seasons (like skaters' bios) are archived with the Wayback Machine. Just enter the URL-address of the current page and search its archive history by years. Here is an example link to all screenshots of Javier Fernández' ISU bios page that were archived in 2017.
Please help archiving skating-related web pages yourself as well if they have not been saved with the Wayback Machine yet, so that they are available as sources in the future. It is suggested that editors check that all sources used in figure skating articles and bios have been archived and then place the following template on their talk pages:
