Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Association football
- The following is an archived discussion of a featured portal candidate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the portal's talk page or in Wikipedia talk:Featured portal candidates. No further edits should be made to this page.
The portal was promoted by User:OhanaUnited 14:41, 8 October 2008 [1].
I started editing this portal in December 2007 to re-inject some life and update it. It now uses randomised content and I used the tab format as on Portal:Religion to break the page up somewhat. There are 25 selected articles (all FA), 15 selected bios (all FA or GA) and 30 selected pictures. Other content includes a randomised selected association (to show FIFA, UEFA, CONCACAF etc), current tournaments (which is pre-filled until 2014), news from Wikinews via the bot and the DYK element automatically shows the last five football related hooks that appeared on Wikipedia's main page from the archive at WikiProject:Football.
Instructions on how to edit/add/nominate the portal and what each element does are documented at Portal:Association football/Instructions.
A request for this to be PPR'd sat for 5 months with no reply so I'm hoping that no responses there means that there are no major problems with this portal. Your comments are welcome. Nanonic (talk) 21:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: This actually looks pretty good. I will try to get to looking at it in more detail later. Cirt (talk) 12:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Suggestion (not mandatory though) How about selected stadium? And btw, Portal:Association football/Selected association/15 is empty. OhanaUnitedTalk page 04:00, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That's a good idea! I'll scrabble around and see how many I can get that are up to standard, but will hold off on adding it yet as it will need a lot of thought as to how to alter the layout. The empty Selected association entry is there purely to make it easy for whoever wants to add it, it isn't in the selection that displays on the Portal.

All look good. One thing, could few requested/missing articles be listed in the Tasks you can do section. Thanks, Shyam (T/C) 10:25, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added a random element in Tasks you can do that calls Portal:Association football/Contribute/Requested articles to display five or six requested/wanted articles on page view. I'm unsure about whether to keep it or not though, as it is the only part of the portal that may need updating beyond the current yearly/seasonal maintenance to weed out those articles that have been created.
