I am interested in doing the "Today's Matches" section on the Football Portal. Ross-1 17:21, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Basiclly what you have to do is just create a page for everyday, and what matches are on that day, and it will automaticlly rotate through them. Bawolff ☺☻[[image:smile.png]] 22:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * In more details, what you have to do:

 
 * Create a page of a date, like Portal:Football/Fixtures/2006/February/1. Format:

01, February 2006

 * Arsenal v West Ham, kick off at 20:00
 * Aston Villa v Chelsea, kick off at 19:45
 * Blackburn v Man Utd, kick off at 20:00
 * Liverpool v Birmingham, kick off at 20:00
 * Man City v Newcastle, kick off at 19:45
 * Portsmouth v Bolton, kick off at 19:45
 * So for today it would be on the page Portal:Football/Fixtures/2006/October/19
 * If there is no games (e.g. Portal:Football/Fixtures/2006/February/7) use format:

07, February 2005
No football games today.   < 2006 | Football 
 * For days with games, transclude it into the month page
 * See Portal:Football/Fixtures/2006/February for example
 * Should use this format (note the artificial line doesn't need to be there as subpages has been enabled in Wikinews now.

February
  Every year, make a new year page. see Portal:Football/Fixtures/2006 for details.  Note none of this is set in stone, If you think anything would be better another way, feel free to be bold and change it. This is just how its done before.Bawolff ☺☻ 22:48, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
