Section names?

In this edit ↗, what do these section parameters do? I figured they'd maybe make links to the sections, but I guess not. Dicklyon (talk) 15:31, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
:It's how the standings are displayed on the team pages. Those pages have a link to the group standings template for that team, and it uses that parameter that I edited to link to the right one. I noticed that the group standings had disappeared from all the team pages, and it was because the pages linked to East '''G'''roup A, etc. while the template was labeled East '''g'''roup A. I don't know if that made any sense, but hopefully that helps. TheGoodGeneral 1 (talk) 16:54, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
::OK, thanks; I couldn't see where/how those were being used. I see you've re-capitalized "Group" in a bunch of other places now, too. Is it not possible to move consistently toward consistency with MOS:CAPS ↗? Dicklyon (talk) 05:21, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
:::I just recapitalized them because I thought it would be easier than editing all 30 team pages. Also, I didn't change the headings on any of the pages, if that's what you're referring to. TheGoodGeneral 1 (talk) 08:08, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
::::I don't mind doing the work... Dicklyon (talk) 00:11, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
::::OK, did all those to lowercase group. For a period of about 13 minutes, some transclusions were broken, but now I think they're all OK. Dicklyon (talk) 06:33, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Items on your User page

I'm curious why the items on your User page are not in your sandbox. Assadzadeh (talk) 05:38, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

:I didn't think it mattered. Are there rules about that? TheGoodGeneral 1 (talk) 06:26, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

College Football Page Order

I noticed you moved the schedule on the 2025 Clemson Tigers football team ↗ from the top of the page to below the preseason stuff. Just wanted to let you know it was at the top because of this conversation ↗. You may want to chime in there. I won't revert the edit, but someone else may.

February 2026

30px|alt=Stop icon ↗ You may be '''blocked from editing ↗ without further warning''' the next time you disrupt ↗ Wikipedia. '''Longstanding consensus at WP:NBA ↗ is to only list NBA/ABA championships in team navigational boxes and you have been reverted more than once in the past regarding such edits. In addition, adding league, conference and division is also against consensus.''' – sbaio 20:13, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

:{{Ping|Sbaio}} Where was this consensus decided, exactly? I looked through the discussion archives on WP:NBA, and I couldn't find a single discussion actually reaching this consensus. This closest thing I could find is this discussion ↗ which is about player/coach infoboxes, not team navboxes. TheGoodGeneral 1 (talk) 03:09, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

List of Super Bowl champions ↗

Please do not revert edits that are properly sourced, as you did at the article referenced in the subject line. Assadzadeh (talk) 22:45, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Zyon Pullin jersey number

Hi! Please always check available numbers before making an edit. Anthony Edwards is already number 5 on the T-Wolves, there is no shot Zyon Pullin would get that. Thanks in advance! MrSplashman77 (talk) 18:48, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2026 NBA draft ↗, a link pointing to the disambiguation page Danny Green ↗ was added. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

2026–27 Indiana Pacers season ↗ moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to 2026–27 Indiana Pacers season ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because '''it needs more sources to establish notability'''.
I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page ↗.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. JTtheOG (talk) 00:03, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

Rainbows of death

See the discussion on WT:CFB ↗ regarding colors. Consensus was established back in 2024 to eliminate these across college football articles.- UCO2009bluejay (talk) 21:59, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi TheGoodGeneral. An editor recently undid your revert ↗ of the color removal at 2026 Atlantic Coast Conference football season ↗. Please establish a consensus for your preference at {{slink|Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_College_football#Table_colors_on_conference_championship_game/2026_conference_season_articles}}. Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 05:24, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Don't miss your chance, jump into Wiki Loves Fútbol ↗!

right|frameless|150x150px ↗
Hi {{ping|TheGoodGeneral 1}}! The 2026 World Cup is underway and '''Wiki Loves Fútbol ↗''' is in full swing, but there's still plenty of time to get in on it. If you've been thinking about joining, don't miss your chance, this is a great moment to jump in. Here's where you can make a real difference right now:

'''Create articles about immigration in the U.S.''' Some most-searched, most-needed topics still don't have the coverage they deserve. Grab one from the target list: target articles for creation ↗.

'''Expand articles about Latin American national teams.''' Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, and many more could use more sourced detail, squad info, and cultural context.

'''Upload pictures to Commons.''' Your own match-day snacks, jerseys, flags, or neighborhood fútbol all count: Wiki Loves Fútbol on Commons ↗.

Every experience level is welcome, and there are prizes along the way. If you're not sure where to start, just reply here, and we'll point you to a good first task.

Hope to see you out there! Oscar_. (talk) 17:51, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
