League football in Turkey[edit]

There was the Turkish National Division from 1937 to 1950; the Turkish Federation Cup from 1956 to 1958; and Süper Lig from 1959 onwards. What was the league system between 1950 and 1956? Trying to work out what leagues Coşkun Taş played in (for categorisation purposes), as he was active in Turkey between 1951 and 1959. Giant Snowman 17:46, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would it have been the regional Istanbul Football League? Giant Snowman 17:46, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New (or altered) table format request[edit]

Does anyone know of an example of a Module:Sports table for football, where there is an additional column for 'bonus points' or points carried forward from a previous phase ? I am looking to develop a better solution to the league tables for 2022–23 Lebanese Premier League and 2023–24 Lebanese Premier League, where the competition is split after a certain number of matches into an upper section and lower section. However, only half the points from the first round carry forward, which I think necessitates two tables (all teams before the split, and a second split table). I can't easily find where to get the additional column, except for in the templates associated with Module:Sports table/Rugby, from which I'm assuming the coding is not transferrable. It has been done already without additional columns by using the adjust_points_ and a comment for each team, but that seems quite inelegant. Matilda Maniac (talk) 07:32, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you use Module:Sports table/Custom? — Jts1882 | talk 13:16, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will try. Matilda Maniac (talk) 22:48, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aggressive vandalism against Boca Juniors players ongoing[edit]

I'm sure some of you noticed on your watchlists aggressive vandal edits going on for the last few days. I first noticed it on Gary Medel's page. Upon further check, it seems that all these vandal sockpuppets target current players of Boca Juniors. What's the most efficient way to deal with this? I guess some kind of temporary IP ban is needed? Reporting individual users to ANI seems useless. I submitted a couple of pages for increasing protection, but no action was taken (on account that many more pages need protection and not just one). --BlameRuiner (talk) 10:01, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What users/pages? I'll take a look. Giant Snowman 13:27, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's under control now, all the articles got protected for a year. --BlameRuiner (talk) 06:59, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New logo for Club León of the Liga MX[edit]

Done. Couldn't find one without the background, so put that up temporarily RedPatch (talk) 13:36, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aston Villa F.C. in the 1880s[edit]

It's existed for 17 years but do we need this article breaking out one specific decade from the main article History of Aston Villa F.C. (1874–1961)? I've never come across any other article as specific as "[Club] in [decade]"......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:21, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not in great shape because it's moreso a list of FA Cup matches than a 'History of' article. It seems to exist in place of the articles on Aston Villa seasons from 1881–82 to 1887–88, which are redirects to various sections of this one. Sgubaldo (talk) 16:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
