As far as I know the way the names are listed in the category is determined by the way in which the category is added to the individual article... So - "Category:Dual code rugby internationals|Price, Ray (rugby league footballer)" would list Ray Price under 'P' for Price. I think this is the way you should proceed in terms of this category. I imagine it would require changing all the pages unless there is some automatic way of doing it that I don't yet know about! -- User:CumberlandsAshes81 12 September 2006
Here is a list of DIs I found in the "Australian Sporting Records" 1988 edition. No idea if it's complete, of and course doesn't include any since 1988. [1] --Angry mob mulls options 12:56, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Bah. If I'd looked here first, I would've seen this (from the 2005 Rugby League Annual) -- it's reasonable to assume that this *is* definitive. --Angry mob mulls options 13:10, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
With Kevin Ryan, I simply made Kevin Ryan (footballer) a redirect to Kevin Ryan (rugby league footballer). You do this by replacing all the content on the page with this code:
#REDIRECT [[Kevin Ryan (rugby league footballer)]]
To sort out John Sutton you'll need to merge the two articles, just move thie stuff on one that isn't on the other over to the other, then make the first one a redirect. Geddit? I'd go with having the article at simply John Sutton, it's an easier name. Finally for deleting Cyril Abotomy, it needs listed at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion. Grinner 17:50, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
I had this all written out quite well and lost my edit... damn proxy server I guess. Anyway, it works like this: User:Sticks66/Build links Go to your user page User:Sticks666
Edit it
Create a link to a subpage (the subpage doesn't exist yet) such as User:Sticks666/Sandbox
Save your user page.
Your user page now has a redlink to User:Sticks666/Sandbox (or whatever). Click it and you will get to the edit screen for a page in user space which does not exist yet. That page has a blurb referring you to WP:SUBPAGES. When you need more information than what I have just given you, go and check it out.
PS. If you need more prompt assistance, put the ((helpme)) template on your talk page. Apparently it gets fairly prompt (<10 minutes) responses, from a group of people who have that template on a watch list or something. Garrie 23:12, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
It's been a while since I did Categories but if you scroll to the bottom of any categorised page in editing mode you'll see a few boxes showing: [[Category:Australian captains]] or something to that effect. When categorising things, make sure you group the cateogry with the rest of the existing ones down the bottom of the page. This will make them easier to manage. Hope that helps. mdmanser 13:44, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure why, but categories stay redlinked until you edit that redlinked category and add another category into it (i.e. the St. George players category should link to "rugby league players" or something). Check out how other similar categories employ hierachy and do the same thing I guess. The linked articles to that category should already appear in that category if you check - when you click it you'll get an edit page but if you scroll down I think it should list out all of those players already put into there. Test it out. Good luck. mdmanser 13:57, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Sample Default sort -- use Ron Coote
I found the code that creates the break automatically. It's <*br style="clear:both;" /> - remove the asterisk.
Yeah I did just it with no problems. Were you having some issues with being able to revert them? Thanks for letting me know about it either way. Cheers, mdmanser 12:55, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Hey Florrie, Been linking a few old coaches to the RL Coaches category. Because the article I wrote on Frank Burge is actually about him and his three brothers and called Burge Family when I link Category:Rugby league coaches|Burge, Frank I get the family name on the list in the category. I've also noticed it in similar situations with the McLean Family (rugby footballers). Any clues how this can be avoided so the relevant individual name shows on the category list ? -Sticks66 08:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
You simply use the same infobox, but change the "image" parameter. For instance, from the 1985 series article:
((Infobox_State_of_Origin_series
| year = 1985
| image = ARL 1998.jpg
| count = 1st
| imagesize = 100px
| caption = Logo of the Australian Rugby League
| winners = winners New South Wales
| margin = 2-1
| points = 81
| attendance = 90937
| top points scorer = Michael O'Connor(29 points)
| top try scorer = Michael O'Connor & Dale Shearer (2 tries)
))
The image parameter can be changed to whatever image the Harvey Norman one is. SpecialWindler talk (currently in control) 20:05, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure how much information you need but as I am used to writing job descriptions from scratch, I'll start at the beginning. This is for Mozilla, by the way, but I think it's pretty similar to IE if you use it.
Hope that helps! Have fun. •Florrie•leave a note• 10:49, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Try Picture Australia as it has about 1200 rugby league images. Boylo (talk) 07:07, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Relocated from WP:RL Project talk page
Mentioned before that I have more failure than success at uploading images, so I'm requesting assistance of Project to upload to our articles 10 old shots. All usable under pre-1955 "copyright expired" rationale Boylo refers to above which he successfully quotes in clear detail on Harry Bath.
The shots are at http://www.pictureaustralia.org/
PLAYERS: Search "Harold Horder" for two that could add to Harold Horder; search "Mick Madsen" reveals a shot & two cartoons for Mick Madsen; search "Duncan Thompson" for a shot and a caricature for Duncan Thompson; search "Vic Hey" for an excellent portrait of the great Vic Hey.
ADMINISTRATORS: Search "Harry Sumerland" (sic) & "J J Giltinan" for photos to add to the stubs Harry Sunderland and J J Giltinan.
GROUP SHOTS: Search "Founders of Queensland Rugby Football League". This shot would perfectly add early in the History paragraph of Queensland Rugby League plus also appropriate to repeat on the individual articles of Micky Dore and George Watson (rugby footballer).
TEAM SHOTS: Not generally suggesting we add team shots to individ. articles but for Jim Craig (rugby league) & Bill Tyquin I think the shots from the respective searches "unbeaten Queensland 1924" and "Queensland Rugby League Team in 1949" are appropriate since a) there are no other shots of these guys, b) they're the captains in each and part of their notability is their status as national & state captains.
FINALLY: Search "two captains shake hands" reveals a great shot to add to NSWRL season 1934 since it shows Dave Brown (rugby league) (in his distinctive headgear) and Frank McMillan shaking hands and seems to indeed be the Grand Final. Also appropriate on McMillan's article.
Can anyone help me with this endeavour ? I'll get on any missing infoboxes for any above players -Sticks66 12:01, 26 March 2008

Hi Sticks66,
I've been wondering that too, but its my interpretation that Aust copyright laws as briefly outlined in Template:PD-Australia, override that of the library. Perhaps the libraries add that statement to each image they upload so they don't have to continually update expired copyrights etc. I had a look at ACC Information Sheet G23 (Duration of copyright) (Sep 2005), and it states that: "copyright lasted until 50 years from the end of the year of the artist’s death. However, different rules applied for: photographs (if taken before 1 May 1969, 50 years from the end of the year they were taken; on or after 1 May 1969, 50 years from the end of the year of first publication)". All a bit confusing really, but I figure that if you follow the PD-Australia guidelines, it's all good. Hope that was in some way helpful! Loopla (talk) 12:40, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
I've encountered this before with Justin Smith (I think?) or some other player, can't remember. I've just been a bit lazy with it. I read a wikipedia guidlines page specifically related to this a while ago when I was trying to figure out what to do. Just tried to find it again quickly, but couldn't. I think there are some options. Using middle names or nationalities or maybe the dates of birth if known?--Jeff79 (talk) 02:46, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
What's that trick again that enables one to see how many articles link to a red-linked name ? -Sticks66 07:08, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi-di-hi. Is there a way to get a narrow list of references appear as two columns. Such as would look good here. Cheers -Sticks66 12:43, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
The basic problem with haveing cats on redirects is that ther are bots that create talk pages for them so as to put ((WP Australia)) tags on them, which then have to be deleted.--Grahame (talk) 12:20, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
I've never been able to work out that trick to make a multi-used ref appear once in the Ref list with a, b, c etc. You just fixed it here. How do you do that ? -Sticks66 13:08, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
