About order of teams in CL in EL tables

Hello, @Qed237, The Replicator, and Chanheigeorge: and other users. I think that in Template:2017–18 UEFA Champions League Group A table, Template:2017–18 UEFA Europa League Group A table and other similar pages we need use CL group stage draw and EL group stage draw, order by pots. And also we need use 2017–18 UEFA Champions League group stage#Tiebreakers and 2017–18 UEFA Europa League group stage#Tiebreakers: 12. UEFA club coefficient. We use that in previous seasons because UEFA sometimes uses or alphabetical order or understanded order (for example, in DOWNLOAD I did not found system of order.

@Qed237, The Replicator, and Chanheigeorge: About the order of the teams before the start of the group stage, I am neutral as I get the idea of the calendar slots allocated after the draw. During the group stage, I am in favor of following the tiebreaking criteria to the letter, even if uefa.com tables put tied teams at a random order, as it has been seen before.

{@GAV80, Qed237, and The Replicator: When you mean "order", do you mean the order that the teams are written inside the template (which is different from the order that the teams are shown when the template is transcluded, or the positions itself, which now are all "1")? Chanheigeorge (talk) 04:49, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Chanheigeorge, The Replicator, and Qed237: I mean both: and order in template inside, and order with positions "1". Now teams in templates ordered randomly. I think in football's tables must not have randomly. Need use system: ordered by pots. And if in tiebreakers have UEFA club coefficient, then we need use this rule and do not use "pos_***=1".

@Chanheigeorge, The Replicator, and GAV80: Sorry I have not responded earlier, I have been very busy IRL and my time on wikipedia is currently very limited. The order of the teams before the first round of matches was played was not random. It was the order of the teams after the draw was finished and the draw ended with a computer deciding the order of the teams for scheduling purposes, so it is the official order teams should be in. This is how we have done it previous seasons as well. Now with matches being played, we should follow the tiebreaker rules completely. Qed237 (talk) 09:54, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong group tables C-G!

Erm, so the group tables for Groups C, D, E, F and G have the entirely wrong teams in them?

It's the same problem on the main page (2017–18 UEFA Champions League#Group stage) too!

I'm not skilled enough to be able to fix this myself though... :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stinkycheesey (talk • contribs) 14:42, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong information for Maribor in Group Table E

Maribor had 3D 3L GF=3 GF=16 GD=-13 Points=3 but the Group Table E shows 2D 4L GF=3 GA=17 GD=-14 Points=2. The same problem is on the main page because the Table E over there is linked to the Table E on this page. I could not figure it out! Ehsan1981 (talk) 02:22, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
