Disambiguation link notification for May 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2016 Portland Timbers season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alan Kelly. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Strange code change and error
Hi.
I'm curious about the "line up" section on the 2016 Thorns page that you removed. Could you tell me about that?
Thanks!
TedErnst (talk) 02:41, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
Hey,
Wikipedia did something to change their code that botched up the entire line up section. Even going as far to have it mess up the top scorers section. I couldn't find any changes that occurred and removed them from Timbers, Timbers2, and Thorns.
- Ah. Thanks. If someone (maybe me, but not for a few days) can track down the error and figure out a fix then, the section can be added back then, yes? TedErnst (talk) 14:52, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
Yes. I would like it back, it was a very informative section. I have it in my sandbox trying to fix it but doubt I will be able to find out why.
- I removed the 2-col formatting and it seems to work again. It's out of date now with the national-teamers gone. TedErnst (talk) 23:27, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
Well done. I'll get it back up to speed.

Should the women's football task force become WikiProject: WOSO? |
![]() According to an op-ed in the recent Signpost, some editors think task forces and subgroups are dying in 2017. What do you think about forming our own WikiProject separate from WP:FOOTY? There's an on-going discussion of the potential pros and cons on the task force talk page. Input is welcome. |
New initiatives have been created for:
While WP:FPL lists only two women's top-division leagues as notable due to its "fully professional" criteria, did you know you can create an article on any player in any league as long as the references meet WP:GNG guidelines? Make sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}. Have some new articles in mind or see some that need improvement? Add them to the Open Tasks page if you'd like and other editors may be able to help. Need tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? Leave a message on the task force talk page. |
Thank you for your continued contributions to articles related to women's football / soccer (WOSO)! |

Hello WOSO editors! A few initiatives have been started with an emphasis on making more WOSO links blue (similar to the work that WikiProject Women in Red does) and filling in the gaps within various league, team, and player, etc. articles. If you're interested in collaborating with others to make more links blue, take a look at the initiatives listed in the box below. Sign up at the bottom of an initiative page and help grow the lists, add potential references, resources, and create the articles ... or create your own initiative.
WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NFOOTY (which only includes the players in 1 active women's league)? Often times there is enough media coverage that meets WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. For more information, see WP:WOSO#Notability and be sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}
Want some tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? |
