Revision as of 16:18, 7 January 2010
 | This page documents an English Misplaced Pages 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. |
]
 | This page in a nutshell: The following recurring events are suitable to include on the In the news template. Other recurring events should only be added if they satisfy other ITN criteria. |
In the news toolbox |
|---|
This is a supplement to the existing ITN criteria, for the In the news (ITN) section on the Main Page.
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. This is what recurring items looked like at the beginning of 2009 before several changes during that year.
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. The relevant articles will still have to be updated appropriately before being posted on the Main Page.
NOTE: This is not intended to preempt other ITN criteria regarding inclusion, such as inclusion of unusual and particularly important events.
