This is a supplement to the existing ], for the ] section on the ].


This guideline is a supplement to the ] for the ] (ITN) section of the ]. It standardizes which recurring events are included in ITN.
There are frequent arguments about, and additions of and removals of, recurring stories on ITN. This guideline is an attempt to standardize what gets included in the ITN section of the Main Page.


Scheduled sporting events and other recurring items are different from other ITN candidates because editors can foresee them and prepare for their inclusion. There is no reason not to have a pre-existing list of approved events. Scheduled sporting events and other recurring items are different from other ITN candidates, because editors can foresee them and prepare for their potential inclusion. ITN editors have therefore produced this list of pre-approved events, which has been developed through discussion and ]. The list assists editors in ensuring reasonably balanced coverage (for example of different sports) over time. It also avoids the need to debate an event's importance every time it occurs, providing consistency between years.


Items listed on this page are considered to have already satisfied the "importance" criterion for inclusion on ITN, every time they occur. This does not guarantee the item will be posted. The relevant article still needs to be appropriately updated, be of sufficient quality, and be nominated on the ] (ITN/C) before being posted. As with all ITN nominations, the posting (or not) of a recurring item can be weighed against whether ].
NOTE: This is not intended to preempt other ITN criteria regarding inclusion, such as inclusion of unusual and particularly important events.

Any changes to this list, such as adding or removing an item, should be discussed at ] to gain consensus first. Items that are not on this list can still be nominated at ITN/C and discussed individually, where they will be assessed against the usual ITN criteria.

Blue tickThis page documents an English Misplaced Pages content guideline.
Editors should generally follow it, though exceptions may apply. Substantive edits to this page should reflect consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on this guideline's talk page.		Shortcuts
This page in a nutshell: The recurring events listed on this page are considered suitable for inclusion on the Main Page in the In the news section every time they occur. Other recurring events may also be included if they satisfy the usual ITN criteria.
Click here to nominate an item for In the news. In the news toolbox

This guideline is a supplement to the criteria for the In the news (ITN) section of the Main Page. It standardizes which recurring events are included in ITN.

Scheduled sporting events and other recurring items are different from other ITN candidates, because editors can foresee them and prepare for their potential inclusion. ITN editors have therefore produced this list of pre-approved events, which has been developed through discussion and consensus. The list assists editors in ensuring reasonably balanced coverage (for example of different sports) over time. It also avoids the need to debate an event's importance every time it occurs, providing consistency between years.

Items listed on this page are considered to have already satisfied the "importance" criterion for inclusion on ITN, every time they occur. This does not guarantee the item will be posted. The relevant article still needs to be appropriately updated, be of sufficient quality, and be nominated on the candidates page (ITN/C) before being posted. As with all ITN nominations, the posting (or not) of a recurring item can be weighed against whether it best serves the encyclopedia.

Any changes to this list, such as adding or removing an item, should be discussed at WT:ITN to gain consensus first. Items that are not on this list can still be nominated at ITN/C and discussed individually, where they will be assessed against the usual ITN criteria.

  • In Switzerland, elections of new members to the Federal Council, but not normally general elections of the Federal Council or elections to the Presidency, which are generally pro forma.

Exhibitions and summits

For each of these events, the ITN blurb should link to the specific article for that year's meeting.

Sports

Shortcut

Entries which refer to events where men's and women's events are concurrent (unless otherwise specified) are generally posted as a combined blurb, as long as both articles are of sufficient quality. In terms of timing, events are generally posted as soon as a winner is determined. Generally, the specific event article for that year/time period is the target article in the blurb (for example, 2016 Tour de France rather than the broader Tour de France); winning individuals or teams may be targets, but their articles must meet the same ITN quality requirements as the event.

  • The Olympics, as the world's leading multi-day multi-sport event, is accepted as an appropriate "ongoing" entry.
  • The Commonwealth Games was posted as an "ongoing" entry in 2014.
  • The FIFA World Cup is accepted as an appropriate "ongoing" entry.
  • Nominations for various other multi-day single sport events for the "ongoing" section of ITN have failed, with a handful of exceptions.
    • The exceptions to this have been the Women's Football World Cup in 2019, and the Cricket World Cup in 2019.

Notes

  1. Announced in 2000, only one of the seven prizes available has been awarded as of 2023
  2. Taken as the publication of the discovery in a peer reviewed scientific journal
  3. In the event that the two organizations do not name them simultaneously, the official naming should only be posted once.
  4. Between 2000 and 2020, five new elements were reported (see Timeline of chemical element discoveries) and nine were officially named, but on some occasions, multiple elements were reported or named simultaneously.
  5. In previous years, the item has been added to ITN when the new members take their seats (1 January) rather than when the results were announced (during October). This is because the elections are not usually heavily competitive, and 1 January is in the middle of a very slow news period every year.
  6. These are "both extremely rare (once in decades) and extremely hard to predict"
  7. There is no objective measure of exactly what constitutes a great comet, but the ITN consensus is for 'clearly visible by the naked eye, even to those who weren't specifically looking for it'. See two sets of discussions at Misplaced Pages:In the news/Candidates/June 2010. Note that Comet Holmes was considered significant enough for ITN when it brightened to mag +2.8, despite never receiving the 'Great' appellation.
  8. See List of solar eclipses in the 21st century for exact dates
  9. Usually including the World Series Most Valuable Player Award
  10. Usually including the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award
  11. Usually including the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award
  12. Only posted if a single horse wins all three races. Unsuccessful attempts are not included.
  13. Usually including the winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy
  14. Constructors' only mentioned alongside a Drivers' nomination. No separate post if won at different times. See WPT:ITN#Remove constructors title. (October 2022)
  15. ^ Both the men's and women's results posted together.
