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. However, it is not an automatic guarantee that 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.

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 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 Men's Football World Cup, which was added to "ongoing" in 2014 and 2018, the Women's Football World Cup in 2019, and the Cricket World Cup in 2019.
