Dear skiing experts: I tried to tone down this rather promotional article, but I don't know whether the section about promodels is appropriate because I don't know what they are. Can someone please take a look?— Anne Delong ( talk) 12:03, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
Is this project intended to include cross-country skiing in its scope? If so, the reference to going up and down mountains is limiting. Therefore, I would recommend, instead of "This includes the companies, mountains, and athletes. Everybody is welcome to join, no matter how you get down the mountain in one or two planks (or up)." This includes the manufacturers of ski and snowboard equipment, alpine and cross-country skiing venues, and notable athletes, who participate in the various forms of skiing and snowboarding. Everybody is welcome to join, no matter what snow-covered terrain you traverse and how you do it. User:HopsonRoad 14:29, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Now that Parallel slalom and Parallel giant slalom / Parallel Giant Slalom are being contested in the FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup as well as the FIS Snowboard World Cup, it is perhaps time to have actual articles about them, rather than redirecting readers to other pages.
When created, the pages originally redirected to the pages for their mother disciplines (i.e. Slalom skiing and Giant slalom). But, over the past few years, these redirects have been changed multiple times to point towards various pages specifically about snowboarding.
The past couple of days, I have changed the redirects back to pointing to the pages for their mother disciplines. But, this is not ideal as these pages only talk about the "normal" version - they do not have sections about the parallel version.

On my sandbox is the 2018-19 Women's Downhill standings but in the motorsport format template. I would like to know if anyone likes it and if it's a viable way to display the standings as with the current format, you only see the top 5 in each discipline.

Hello skiing enthusiasts! Here's a draft article that you may wish to review or improve.— Anne Delong ( talk) 07:50, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma ( talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi! My colleagues and I have been at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics as accreditated photographers for Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. I do not just want to make you excited for our photos (about 3,500 are already uploaded to c:Category:2020 Winter Youth Olympics) but I wanted to let you know, that we also made some connections with sports functionaries there.
I made contact with the CEO of the International Ski Mountaineering Foundation which is based in Mondovì, Italy, and told him about the current status of the articles whose content and photos still can be improved. The communication department reached out to me that they are very interested in supporting us. Maybe they can get us access to some sources and accreditations for their events.
Is anyone of you focused on these sports and interested in getting connected? I am afraid that I cannot keep track much of this because I am more focused on summer sports and based in Germany. I'm looking forward to your responses. :-) @ Cornellier, HopsonRoad, and Gamsbart: Pinged as main authors of the English Wikipedia article. Best, — DerHexer (Talk) 22:01, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello - My father, Robert K. Brinton, was an early ski mountaineer and climber in southern California and was active in the 1930s. My sister and I are in the process of trying to get an article approved on his ski mountaineering and climbing exploits in southern California ( Tahquitz), the Whitney area and Whitney Russell Pass, as well as elsewhere in the Western US, Wisconsin, and British Columbia. Perhaps most relevant to your WikiProject are the following: (1) he helped to found the Ski Mountaineers section of the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club and named its newsletter the Mugelnoos; (2) together with several ski mountaineering companions he climbed to the top of Whitney Pass by ski (April '37), was among the first to cross the Sierras by ski over the Whitney Russell Pass (May '38), and made a first winter ascent of Banner Peak by ski (March '39). The latter two feats were featured in the LA Times as front-page news.
I'm told that you might be able to help expedite approval of this page. I realize there is a conflict of interest since the article pertains to my father but he died in 1996 so he does not stand to benefit from the article in any way, nor do we. We have made every effort to carefully document what we have written with neutral, verifiable sources. We also have access to some quite interesting photos from the era (which we have not yet uploaded) as my father was an accomplished photographer and documented both the climbs and his fellow climbers ( Glen Dawson was a close friend and climbing buddy). Please let me know if there is any interest on the part of your project in what we have written. Thanks in advance. Donna Dmbrinton ( talk) 20:53, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello.
I'm from the French Wikipedia and I have a mail exchange with Kathrin Hostettler from FIS. It starts with the strange Dual mogul standings for the 2006-2007 season. And it ends in a surprising way (at least for me): she said me they never were any dual moguls ranking in world cup. The standings have always been merged. And indeed they removed every dual moguls rankings from their website! And update the moguls one (for example https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/cup-standings.html?sectorcode=FS&seasoncode=2002&cupcode=WC&disciplinecode=MO&gendercode=W&nationcode= is now counting 12 races, it was 9 one week ago). It's true that the displayed scores on the different standings were not consistent, it's far better now (for the few I checked). But it changes our wiki: from 1995-1996 to 2006-2007, and of course for the skier such as Kari Traa who were apparently winning such a dual moguls ranking... My talks with Miss Hostettler is not ended, I'll warm you if there is any new turn appears.

Timberline Lodge ski area recently announced that the former Summit Ski Area, which they have owned for several years, is now called Summit Pass and is now part of Timberline (skiable on the same lift ticket).
I'm wondering what you guys think is the correct way to handle this situation. I have already moved the page for Summit to Summit Pass (Oregon), created a redirect page at Summit Ski Area, and updated the name at the List of ski areas and resorts in the United States and Template:Oregon Ski Areas.
But at this point, I'm wondering if the article for Summit Pass should be deleted and its content merged with Timberline Lodge ski area. On the one hand, some separate areas/mountains within larger ski resorts do have their own articles, e.g. Alpental or the four ski areas of Aspen/Snowmass — especially when the areas are non-contiguous, as is currently the case with Summit Pass and Timberline (although a gondola connecting the two has been proposed). And as the oldest ski area in the Northwest, Summit Pass does have quite a bit of history of its own. On the other hand, it's no longer an independent business entity and thus might not be considered notable enough to have its own article. Certainly, it wouldn't have one if it had always been part of Timberline.
Thoughts?

A user is pledging to remove the podium count in the ski world cup, claiming that no medals are awarded. But the fact that the template that bears medal in the name is used does not mean that there is no need to count the podiums, as for example the FIS website does. -- Kasper2006 ( talk) 12:16, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

The ski resort article uses the term, "ski area" throughout, and distinguishes the town from the terrain on which one skis. Until today, ski area was a redirect to "ski resort". It has no references. It appears that the new article arose with no discussion in this forum. This is to initiate that discussion.
In 2013, the US Forest Service expanded the definition of a "ski area" beyond alpine and nordic skiing to include other snow sports, including snowboarding to read, " Ski area – a site and associated facilities that has been primarily developed for alpine or Nordic skiing and other snow sports, but may also include, in appropriate circumstances, facilities necessary for other seasonal or year-round natural resource-based recreation activities, provided that a preponderance of revenue generated by the ski area derives from the sale of alpine and Nordic ski area passes and lift tickets, revenue from alpine, Nordic, and other snow sport instruction, and gross revenue from ancillary facilities that support alpine or Nordic skiing and other snow sports."

Would some members of this WikiProject mind taking a look at Tyrol Basin and assessing it? There's lots of unsourced content in the article and it seems to have a bit of WP:NOTGUIDE feel to it. I recently did some basic MOS cleanup to try and improve the style of the article, but these were all reverted by a new editor named DyslexicNerd 01. I reverted back and posted something on both the article's talk page and the user's talk page to explain why, but perhaps some others might take a look as well. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:40, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
Now we have this article. -- Kasper2006 ( talk) 05:34, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
@ VarietyEditor: IMO the assessment table is one of the few must-be things on the main page. It does not take much space and is basically a good summary of the project, so doesn't need a seperate page for it. Tasks or to-do list is too long to be in the main page, and also the template/infobox section. Pelmeen10 ( talk) 04:08, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
I should begin by noting that I'm happy to see this project has been picked back up and is again active. I've been operating on the fringes of it since the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, when I noticed that only the most recent five years of Alpine Skiing World Cup results had podium lists for the season in the articles and went back to 1967 and started adding them; someone else finished that project after I got to the late 1990s by myself. It helped that I do remember the sport going back to when the FIS World Cup started (and then when Bob Beattie and most of the U.S. (including me, I'm afraid) abandoned it in favor of the World Pro Ski Tour, which ultimately led to the World Cup becoming fully professional after a bitter battle between FIS and the IOC, culminating with the 1984 Winter Olympics).
But during the pandemic in 2020, I got back into it with regard to the individual discipline pages for both men and women, which I wanted to advance enough to prevent their deletion under WP:NOTSTATS (as happened to the 2016 & 2017 individual discipline pages, which I wasn't involved with). And since then, we've kept the individual pages going forward successfully with no requests for deletion. Then this year, thanks largely to Kasper2006 for the initial efforts, which I then followed up on, we have moved those individual discipline pages backward to 2016, so there is a page for either sex and each discipline (downhill, Super-G, giant slalom, slalom, combined, and parallel) for every year that it has been competed as a separate discipline from 2016 to 2023 (eight years in total). Unfortunately, I'm out of time to do any more of the prior years for the next six months, in part because my daughter and son-in-law just had another grandchild (yea!) and in part because I want to make sure that I standardize all the recent years and fix errors on some of the older pages of this type.
If anyone else wants to create and work on these pages for the earlier years, the format should be similar to the 2016 pages. I've limited the lists for years going backward to the top 25 and ties -- basically only the people who were (or would have been) eligible to compete in the World Cup finals (my criterion was that I didn't want to show anyone not eligible, but there could be more than 25 in case of ties or people using their status as 500+ pointers and ending up 26th or 27th, like Mikaela Shiffrin in downhill last year). And I'm not an administrator or other bureaucrat here, but if you want to avoid disputes over WP:NOTSTATS with editors who don't want these articles in Wikipedia (and we have more than a few of those), here's a piece of advice taken straight from the Wiki instructions pages: "articles with statistics should include explanatory text providing context". That means adding links to at least a couple of articles from reliable sources, generally pertaining to the battle for the season championship, along with descriptions of the situation. And, to anyone choosing to do this, have fun! -- AyaK ( talk) 06:58, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

FYI, the article Caledon Ski Club has been proposed for deletion ( WP:PROD). The first sentences summarize the subject this way:
" Caledon Ski Club is a private ski and snowboarding club in the Caledon Hills. It is located just outside the village of Belfountain, about 45 minutes northwest of Toronto, Ontario."
The nominator wrote this summary of their concerns:
If you agree or disagree with deletion, there are instructions on the deletion notice for what to do.

I thought this was a done deal back in this 2022 RFC but obviously not. A handful of editors did another rfc with no sports projects input at all. And it's being challenged because we just noticed it. This could affect almost every single tennis and Olympic article we have, and goodness know how many other sports. Some may have already been moved it you weren't watching the article. And not just the article titles will be affected but all the player bios that link to the articles. Sure the links would be piped to the right place if thousands of articles moved, but if the wording in a bio still said 2023 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles or Swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's 200 metre backstroke that would likely need to be changed by hand. There is also talk of removing the ndash completely.
Perhaps this is what sports projects want and perhaps not. Either way I certainly don't want projects ill-informed as the last RfC was handled. Express your thoughts at the following rfc. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 21:04, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma ( talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello ski experts. This draft is about a competitive skier at the Junior level. It appears that she has set a record, but I don't know much about skiing events, so I am reporting here for the opinion of someone more knowledgeable.— Anne Delong ( talk) 15:29, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi! My colleagues and I have been at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics as accreditated photographers for Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. I do not just want to make you excited for our photos (about 3,500 are already uploaded to c:Category:2020 Winter Youth Olympics) but I wanted to let you know, that we also made some connections with sports functionaries there.
I made contact with the CEO of the International Ski Mountaineering Foundation which is based in Mondovì, Italy, and told him about the current status of the articles whose content and photos still can be improved. The communication department reached out to me that they are very interested in supporting us. Maybe they can get us access to some sources and accreditations for their events.
Is anyone of you focused on these sports and interested in getting connected? I am afraid that I cannot keep track much of this because I am more focused on summer sports and based in Germany. I'm looking forward to your responses. :-) @ Cornellier, HopsonRoad, and Gamsbart: Pinged as main authors of the English Wikipedia article. Best, — DerHexer (Talk) 22:01, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
Hey all, I hope everyone is safe and healthy. My name is HickoryOughtShirt?4 and I'm a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey. I was wondering if there was any interest in starting a WikiProject Sports channel on Discord? There's quite a few of us who are interested in sports, and I think it would be a good idea to help the WikiProject recruit more members. You guys can join us through here.

Hello - My father, Robert K. Brinton, was an early ski mountaineer and climber in southern California and was active in the 1930s. My sister and I are in the process of trying to get an article approved on his ski mountaineering and climbing exploits in southern California ( Tahquitz), the Whitney area and Whitney Russell Pass, as well as elsewhere in the Western US, Wisconsin, and British Columbia. Perhaps most relevant to your WikiProject are the following: (1) he helped to found the Ski Mountaineers section of the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club and named its newsletter the Mugelnoos; (2) together with several ski mountaineering companions he climbed to the top of Whitney Pass by ski (April '37), was among the first to cross the Sierras by ski over the Whitney Russell Pass (May '38), and made a first winter ascent of Banner Peak by ski (March '39). The latter two feats were featured in the LA Times as front-page news.
I'm told that you might be able to help expedite approval of this page. I realize there is a conflict of interest since the article pertains to my father but he died in 1996 so he does not stand to benefit from the article in any way, nor do we. We have made every effort to carefully document what we have written with neutral, verifiable sources. We also have access to some quite interesting photos from the era (which we have not yet uploaded) as my father was an accomplished photographer and documented both the climbs and his fellow climbers ( Glen Dawson was a close friend and climbing buddy). Please let me know if there is any interest on the part of your project in what we have written. Thanks in advance. Donna Dmbrinton ( talk) 20:53, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello.
I'm from the French Wikipedia and I have a mail exchange with Kathrin Hostettler from FIS. It starts with the strange Dual mogul standings for the 2006-2007 season. And it ends in a surprising way (at least for me): she said me they never were any dual moguls ranking in world cup. The standings have always been merged. And indeed they removed every dual moguls rankings from their website! And update the moguls one (for example https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/cup-standings.html?sectorcode=FS&seasoncode=2002&cupcode=WC&disciplinecode=MO&gendercode=W&nationcode= is now counting 12 races, it was 9 one week ago). It's true that the displayed scores on the different standings were not consistent, it's far better now (for the few I checked). But it changes our wiki: from 1995-1996 to 2006-2007, and of course for the skier such as Kari Traa who were apparently winning such a dual moguls ranking... My talks with Miss Hostettler is not ended, I'll warm you if there is any new turn appears.

Timberline Lodge ski area recently announced that the former Summit Ski Area, which they have owned for several years, is now called Summit Pass and is now part of Timberline (skiable on the same lift ticket).
I'm wondering what you guys think is the correct way to handle this situation. I have already moved the page for Summit to Summit Pass (Oregon), created a redirect page at Summit Ski Area, and updated the name at the List of ski areas and resorts in the United States and Template:Oregon Ski Areas.
But at this point, I'm wondering if the article for Summit Pass should be deleted and its content merged with Timberline Lodge ski area. On the one hand, some separate areas/mountains within larger ski resorts do have their own articles, e.g. Alpental or the four ski areas of Aspen/Snowmass — especially when the areas are non-contiguous, as is currently the case with Summit Pass and Timberline (although a gondola connecting the two has been proposed). And as the oldest ski area in the Northwest, Summit Pass does have quite a bit of history of its own. On the other hand, it's no longer an independent business entity and thus might not be considered notable enough to have its own article. Certainly, it wouldn't have one if it had always been part of Timberline.
Thoughts?

A user is pledging to remove the podium count in the ski world cup, claiming that no medals are awarded. But the fact that the template that bears medal in the name is used does not mean that there is no need to count the podiums, as for example the FIS website does. -- Kasper2006 ( talk) 12:16, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

The ski resort article uses the term, "ski area" throughout, and distinguishes the town from the terrain on which one skis. Until today, ski area was a redirect to "ski resort". It has no references. It appears that the new article arose with no discussion in this forum. This is to initiate that discussion.
In 2013, the US Forest Service expanded the definition of a "ski area" beyond alpine and nordic skiing to include other snow sports, including snowboarding to read, " Ski area – a site and associated facilities that has been primarily developed for alpine or Nordic skiing and other snow sports, but may also include, in appropriate circumstances, facilities necessary for other seasonal or year-round natural resource-based recreation activities, provided that a preponderance of revenue generated by the ski area derives from the sale of alpine and Nordic ski area passes and lift tickets, revenue from alpine, Nordic, and other snow sport instruction, and gross revenue from ancillary facilities that support alpine or Nordic skiing and other snow sports."

Would some members of this WikiProject mind taking a look at Tyrol Basin and assessing it? There's lots of unsourced content in the article and it seems to have a bit of WP:NOTGUIDE feel to it. I recently did some basic MOS cleanup to try and improve the style of the article, but these were all reverted by a new editor named DyslexicNerd 01. I reverted back and posted something on both the article's talk page and the user's talk page to explain why, but perhaps some others might take a look as well. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:40, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
Now we have this article. -- Kasper2006 ( talk) 05:34, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
@ VarietyEditor: IMO the assessment table is one of the few must-be things on the main page. It does not take much space and is basically a good summary of the project, so doesn't need a seperate page for it. Tasks or to-do list is too long to be in the main page, and also the template/infobox section. Pelmeen10 ( talk) 04:08, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
I should begin by noting that I'm happy to see this project has been picked back up and is again active. I've been operating on the fringes of it since the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, when I noticed that only the most recent five years of Alpine Skiing World Cup results had podium lists for the season in the articles and went back to 1967 and started adding them; someone else finished that project after I got to the late 1990s by myself. It helped that I do remember the sport going back to when the FIS World Cup started (and then when Bob Beattie and most of the U.S. (including me, I'm afraid) abandoned it in favor of the World Pro Ski Tour, which ultimately led to the World Cup becoming fully professional after a bitter battle between FIS and the IOC, culminating with the 1984 Winter Olympics).
But during the pandemic in 2020, I got back into it with regard to the individual discipline pages for both men and women, which I wanted to advance enough to prevent their deletion under WP:NOTSTATS (as happened to the 2016 & 2017 individual discipline pages, which I wasn't involved with). And since then, we've kept the individual pages going forward successfully with no requests for deletion. Then this year, thanks largely to Kasper2006 for the initial efforts, which I then followed up on, we have moved those individual discipline pages backward to 2016, so there is a page for either sex and each discipline (downhill, Super-G, giant slalom, slalom, combined, and parallel) for every year that it has been competed as a separate discipline from 2016 to 2023 (eight years in total). Unfortunately, I'm out of time to do any more of the prior years for the next six months, in part because my daughter and son-in-law just had another grandchild (yea!) and in part because I want to make sure that I standardize all the recent years and fix errors on some of the older pages of this type.
If anyone else wants to create and work on these pages for the earlier years, the format should be similar to the 2016 pages. I've limited the lists for years going backward to the top 25 and ties -- basically only the people who were (or would have been) eligible to compete in the World Cup finals (my criterion was that I didn't want to show anyone not eligible, but there could be more than 25 in case of ties or people using their status as 500+ pointers and ending up 26th or 27th, like Mikaela Shiffrin in downhill last year). And I'm not an administrator or other bureaucrat here, but if you want to avoid disputes over WP:NOTSTATS with editors who don't want these articles in Wikipedia (and we have more than a few of those), here's a piece of advice taken straight from the Wiki instructions pages: "articles with statistics should include explanatory text providing context". That means adding links to at least a couple of articles from reliable sources, generally pertaining to the battle for the season championship, along with descriptions of the situation. And, to anyone choosing to do this, have fun! -- AyaK ( talk) 06:58, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

I have just created the guidelines page. In order to develop it, we would need to discuss the best advice to add. Also we need to figure out standard article structures for a variety of topics, as well as how to implement templates. Thoughts? VarietyEditor ( talk) 04:34, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
FYI, the article Caledon Ski Club has been proposed for deletion ( WP:PROD). The first sentences summarize the subject this way:
" Caledon Ski Club is a private ski and snowboarding club in the Caledon Hills. It is located just outside the village of Belfountain, about 45 minutes northwest of Toronto, Ontario."
The nominator wrote this summary of their concerns:
If you agree or disagree with deletion, there are instructions on the deletion notice for what to do.

I thought this was a done deal back in this 2022 RFC but obviously not. A handful of editors did another rfc with no sports projects input at all. And it's being challenged because we just noticed it. This could affect almost every single tennis and Olympic article we have, and goodness know how many other sports. Some may have already been moved it you weren't watching the article. And not just the article titles will be affected but all the player bios that link to the articles. Sure the links would be piped to the right place if thousands of articles moved, but if the wording in a bio still said 2023 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles or Swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's 200 metre backstroke that would likely need to be changed by hand. There is also talk of removing the ndash completely.
Perhaps this is what sports projects want and perhaps not. Either way I certainly don't want projects ill-informed as the last RfC was handled. Express your thoughts at the following rfc. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 21:04, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
