::Nice work. However, whilst I see the reasons for just including flags, I think if you took this to FLC I think they'd automatically ask for full names. It's because not all flags are instantly recognisable. [[User:HornetMike|HornetMike]] 00:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

== Creation of WikiProject Football task forces ==

Seeing how this project has grown quite large over time, spawning a few subprojects, some successful, some less successful, I was beginning to think about creating task forces instead (and reorganising the subprojects into task forces). The idea is "stolen" (as with a few other past ideas implemented here) from [[WP:MILHIST]], where this type of organisation seems to work very well. This will not be a large change for this project or the subprojects, but will hopefully improve cooperation in the long run.

In short:

*Existing subprojects ([[Wikipedia:WikiProject Football (soccer) in Australia|Australia]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Football (soccer) in the USA and Canada|USA and Canada]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Italian Football|Italy]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Non-league football|Non-League]]) are reorganised into task forces instead. Not much will be changed, subpages and such will be retained.

*New task forces are created when enough users are willing to keep such task forces up and running.

*Each task force gets a parameter for the {{tl|Football}} template to keep track of articles and assessments of articles related to the task force.

*More centralised than before, better communication and cooperation between the various groups than before, less duplication of info.

The name "task force" may sound a little militaristic, so if anyone has a better idea for a name, suggestions are welcome. I don't intend to do any reorganisation unless there is broad consensus (especially amongst the members of the subprojects) to do so. Comments, suggestions, questions? –&nbsp;[[User:Johan Elisson|Elisson]]<small>&nbsp;•&nbsp;[[User talk:Johan Elisson|T]]&nbsp;•&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Johan Elisson|C]]&nbsp;•</small> 20:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

:Sounds good Elisson. Not sure I'd be able to join anything other than the English league task force (don't mind the name, either), but happy to help as always. [[User:HornetMike|HornetMike]] 00:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

:The Football League Championship template, which was last modified on late January, is made up as composition of at least two other templates, [[Template:Football League Championship teamlist]] (which was modified today) and [[Template:Football in England table cells]] (last change on March). Are they on your watchlist? --[[User:Angelo.romano|Angelo]] 20:32, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

:Ahhh, I see. The first two are composites of the standard English template and the specific league list to be stuck on all team pages to save space. The latter is one part of the League Two composite! That does get changed, whilst the former two don't. I'll change my watchlist accordingly. [[User:HornetMike|HornetMike]] 20:46, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Any more comments? Negative, positive, neutral? Anything? If I say that I will go ahead and make the change, will I get any reactions then? –&nbsp;[[User:Johan Elisson|Elisson]]<small>&nbsp;•&nbsp;[[User talk:Johan Elisson|T]]&nbsp;•&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Johan Elisson|C]]&nbsp;•</small> 16:21, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
