Welcome to wikiproject rugby union[edit]

Hi, and welcome to the Rugby union WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to rugby union.

A few features that you might find helpful:

Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPRU Announcements}} there.
Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, peer review, and a collaboration of the fortnight.
We have a Fiji rugby task force that focus on Fiji related rugby union articles.
Our requests page has extensive lists of requested articles.
We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorisation, and other issues that you may find useful.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Shudde ^talk 04:54, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rod Macqueen vs Rod MacQueen[edit]

In 2008 you moved [1] Rod Macqueen to Rod MacQueen with edit summary "Correct surname case". The case was brought up at Portal talk:Rugby union#Rod Macqueen vs Rod MacQueen. My searches also completely support the old name Rod Macqueen. Did you actually investigate this person or did you go by the common spelling of McQueen in other names? PrimeHunter (talk) 18:11, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Initially I was working on Template:Australia Squad 1999 World Cup and had used Macqueen. At the time the Rod Macqueen article used the name Rod MacQueen so my reason for the move was based on the spelling used in the article. I agree the article should now be Rod Macqueen. Tomraider (talk) 00:13, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I have moved it. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:28, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rugby World Cup templates[edit]

You have stated in your comments for Template:New Zealand Squad 1987 Rugby World Cup that Every RWC Squad who has finished 1st, 2nd 3rd or 4th should be ike this. Why should it be like this? The documentation for Template:Rugby union squad makes no mention of including the competition result. I have reverted your edits on this basis. Tournament results can be found from the Rugby World Cup article. Tomraider (talk) 08:36, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at these squads:

Winners

Runners-up

Third Place

Fourth Place

Template:Brazil Squad 1974 FIFA World Cup

I was trying to base those RWC articles on these squads because they are different than the rest. Mr Hall of England (talk) 10:35, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification[edit]

Hi. When you recently edited New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages George Smith and Bob Scott (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay[edit]

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede 66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
