Damehåndbolddatabasen

I proposed a new Wikidata properties Damehåndbolddatabasen ID, the Danish website which gives a lot of data about female player from main national teams and European clubs, generally with many sources on club transfers, injuries, pregnancies. So I you think this property may be helpful, please vote! LeFnake (talk) 14:04, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Property has been accepted and created LeFnake (talk) 21:12, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Page vandalised by ip breaking "crystal ball" rule, adding transfer rumors. All similar edits he made to more clubs should be reverted. 93.138.218.98 (talk) 22:45, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

When is the article quality reassessed?

And how? Lois Abbingh for example is still classed as a stub for example, but as it is now the article is relatively good. Fregerslev (talk) 22:11, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Fregerslev, there is a giant backlog of stubs that haven't been re-assessed in years and years. In Category:Stub-Class law articles there were 17,006 entries on 3/12/25 when I started assessing them. Nettrom created for me a list of all the law stubs that are clearly not stubs anymore. With his help, I've got those down to about 15,639. I suggest that if you want handball stubs re-assessed, then do it yourself. As a courtesy, I'll reassess the article above. Bearian (talk) 20:27, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

thanks for your answer Fregerslev (talk) 10:20, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Meble-Rys Gościbia Sułkowice

Is this team notable? I found three new articles from the early 2000s, but that's it. Ping me if you find anything else. Otherwise, it could be proposed for deletion. Bearian (talk) 20:18, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Bearian: I couldn’t find any notable mentions. I think to delete the article is ok. Because there is also no article at the polish wiki. I add a PROD request. 🤾‍♂️ Malo95 (talk) 08:56, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for helping to clean up. Bearian (talk) 13:41, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

U17

Hey, @Malo95 and LeFnake: and all other handball editors. How should the template be called for the teams for the 2025 IHF Men's U17 Handball World Championship. "hbu|17" or something like this? Kante4 (talk) 10:50, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

{{hb17}} has just been created a few days ago by Almagestas, but I'm not sure any U17 NT exist (and I don't think they are notable enough to have their own pages)?--LeFnake (talk) 17:08, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

Ah missed that. I think it should be used, for example FIBA teams have their own articles (yeah, yeah, other stuff but still). Kante4 (talk) 18:06, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

Sorry for the late answer. Switzerland has a U17 team for boys and a U16 team for girls: https://www.handball.ch/de/nationalteams/ 🤾‍♂️ Malo95 (talk) 14:33, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.
