Merge WikiProjects back into this project
[edit]There are a number of cricket-related WikiProjects that I believe would be best suited as taskforces of this project, which would enable collaboration whilst also understanding that articles on these tournaments need to follow guidelines of WP:CRIC. This was previously mentioned in 2021: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket/Archive 90#Creation of task forces. Would be good to get a firm consensus on whether or not to implement this. These breakaway WikiProjects have caused numerous problems over the years including:
- Frequent MOS:COLOR violations on articles and templates
- Misunderstanding of how article ratings work, by rating categories as "high importance"
- Violation of the WP:CRIC standard to only add teams to a player's infobox once they make an appearance (Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar being an example who was in IPL and LPL squads but did not play)
- Creating clutter on article talkpages as if someone plays one match in one of these tournaments, they get added to the WikiProject
- IPL project created templates for every match (60 per season), which led to a massive template clean up project a few years ago
All of these WikiProjects are for franchise T20 tournaments that run for 1-3 months a year, and their WikiProjects are dormant for the rest of the year, or are permanently inactive. They are as follows:
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Bangladesh Premier League - looks permanently inactive
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Lanka Premier League - been inactive for around 2 years, despite only being created in 2021
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian Premier League - looks to be inactive
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Pakistan Super League - looks to be inactive
In addition, I have separately nominated the recently created Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's Premier League (cricket) for deletion, but would be okay with this becoming a task force here too (but no merge is required as there is no history to keep). This post aims to satisfy Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide/Merging WikiProjects#Establish consensus for a merger by getting a consensus for or against this.

- These seem sensible. I had hoped when I revamped the project page, that these would be started by new recruits from r/cricket and other cricket platforms, but I never really found the time. AA (talk) 22:19, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

RfC at WikiProject Sports
[edit]An RfC at WikiProject Sports is currently seeking a consensus on whether images of all venues in a tournament should be presented in a tournament article's § Venues section. Feel free to join in and share your thoughts! — AFC Vixen 🦊 15:27, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
