Redlinking

WP:Redlink does not apply. This is not article space and Navboxes have their own distinct policy on redlinking. The part of the a series exemption is used far to broadly for this template, the component articles are quite obviously not a series. A series of articles implies strongly a sequence of which there is none. This is just a group of commonly themed articles.

WP:EXISTING very specifically states that editors should be encouraged to write the articles first. You don't get to get around that by saying pretty please with cherries on top. --Falcadore (talk) 01:26, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Russia Disqualified by decision of the IAAF Council for 8 years?

For title, why?

The bit about 8 years was added in an edit by 94.19.172.112 in April; unsourced so I've removed it. --David Biddulph (talk) 12:31, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
