Earn easy edit points! Help the Bot update NFL player pages with stats and categories we collected!

Posted by Roblefko

We collected stats, biographical information, and tons of categories for every NFL player, but we need some help updating player pages with this information while at the same time making sure we don't overwrite any content that already exists there.

Here is a list of all players that need to be updated.

  • NFL Player Page Update Project - A - Rob
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - B - Rob
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - C - Ross (CPCP)
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - D - Thecrookedcap
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - E - Ross
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - F - Cheezer
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - G - Thecrookedcap
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - H - Thecrookedcap
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - I - Ross
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - J - Chachi
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - K - Corey
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - L - Thecrookedcap
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - M - Thecrookedcap
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - N - Yakob878
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - O - Rob
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - P - Ross
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - Q - Ross
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - R - Thecrookedcap
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - S - Romi
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - T - Rob
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - V - Ross
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - W - Rob, Ross got through Donte Whitner
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - X - Ross (heh heh)
  • NFL Player Page Update Project - Y - Ross

Here is how it works:

  • Click "update link" next to the player.
  • On the right side you will see the information that already exists.
  • On the left side you will see what the new page will look like with all the information we collected.
  • For many players, the right side (what the page currently looks like) will not have any new information. It will just have info in the fact box like years of experience, height/weight, etc.., but we collected all this information also. In this case, you don't have to move any information over. Just click "create" on the left side, to update the page or hit "preview" if you wanna see what itll look like first.
  • For a lot of players there will be tons of information, thanks to all your contributions. There will be lengthy bios, a list of categories, career highlights section, etc.. In this case, you need to copy/paste the info from the right side and move it over to the appropriate place on the left (e.g. move the bio on the right and paste it under the "Biography" header on the left). You can copy/paste the categories too, but there is also a "choose categories to copy" on the right side to make it easier.
  • Once you copy/paste the info to the left side, just hit "create". (or preview if you want to see what itll look like first)

There are thousands of players, so we really need your help. If you want to help (and earn easy edit points), I am asking two things. First, announce what letter you want to work on. Either edit this page and add your name next to the letter like i did with A above, or let us know in the comments section below what you want to do.

Also, it's not as easy as it sounds, so I ask that first you only do one player, and send me a message on my board so I can check to see whether it was done correctly.

Anyway, I hope we can get some people to help, and let me know if my above instructions are confusing!

I'm already working on Favre (and will be for ages), so I guess I'll take on all the "F"s

What do we do when it tries to update a baseball player page of a player with the same name. I'm having that issue with Bruce Caldwell.

Just copy the contents from the left side and paste it into a page titled Bruce Caldwell (NFL) or something like that.

And then also, if you have time, move the basbeall players page to a page titled "Bruce Caldwell (MLB)" and then make the regular Bruce Caldwell page a disambig page.

K is done. I also created a category for players who played multiple sports. I came across a couple while I was doing my list. Just add [[Category:Multi-Sport Athletes]] to the categories and it will add it.

++++++++++++++++ Thanks a lot, Corey. I appreciate it. I was wondering what I had to do with Deion Sanders, but Roblefko fixed it for me.

Done with S, but there were some names where both baseball and football had the same name (different athletes).
