Style Guide[edit | edit source]
The following standards of editorial style are to maintain a consistent look across all articles in the SFA Wiki.
- Always refer to clubs by their full name in article titles, lead sentences and infoboxes (e.g. Fighting Furies). Simply the club's nickname can be used throughout the article if preferred; check the table below for correct usage.
- Never refer to clubs without a geographical location by their "shortname" only (e.g. Fighting, Southern) except for special circumstances such as The Roys, whose nickname doubles as its shortname. Shortnames such as East Side or Baghdad can be used throughout articles, but only sparingly and never alone in an infobox or table. Avoid simply using Geelong for the Gumbies as it can be confused with the real-life AFL side; the same goes for just West Coast for the Wonders as that can be confused with not only the real-life AFL side, but also the former team West Coast Magic.
- Always refer to a player's club as what it was known as during the time of said player's career. For instance, if Player X played in Season 01 for Team Pump (known later as the Mount Buller Demons), use a piped link which directs to the Demons page but displays Team Pump, like so: Team Pump
