Pass/Fail:

"The top three teams of the 2018–19 EFL League Two season gained automatic promotion to the Championship, while the teams placed from third to seventh place in the table took part in play-off semi-finals;" - repetition of "teams"

"Tranmere finished 21st in League One and were relegated back to League One." - think it is League Two that is meant with the text highlighted in bold
Quite so, fixed. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:28, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilink spot kick to Penalty kick (association football)
Penalty kick is already linked and in the context of the text here, it's pretty obvious what it means. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:29, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"The second play-off semi-final saw Tranmere Rovers take on Forest Green Rovers with the first leg being held at Prenton Park in Tranmere on 10 May 2019." - can't see any mention in the BBC Sport source that it was held at Prenton Park
The second leg source says the first leg was held at Prenton Park, so I've just re-used that. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:29, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Carl Winchester was sent off for the home side after being shown a second yellow card" - what was the reason Winchester was given a second yellow card?
Source doesn't say. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:29, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Tranmere had last played in the third tier of English football in 2014 while Newport had never played at that level." - can't see any mention of this fact in the BBC Sport citation used to verify it
Not the bit that says: "The Merseyside club are bidding to return to League One for the first time since 2014, while Forest Green have never featured in the third tier."? The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:31, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilink free kick to the relevant article
Done. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:36, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Tranmere's Connor Jennings 30-yard (27 m) shot was saved by Day in the Newport goal." - the player's first name will suffice
Well actually I think you meant surname, but in any case it's the first mention of him in the main part of the article so I've linked him. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:36, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"before the teams took their first-half drinks break." - what was the reasoning behind having the drinks break?
Drinks breaks came into practice during the early stages of the re-start of the season after the initial suspension due to Covid. It's not specific to this match. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:36, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilink substitution to the relevant article on the first mention
Done. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:39, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"as he tried to release the ball early after saving a Dan Butler free-kick." - I don't think the hyphen is needed to separate the text indicated in bold
Removed. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:39, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Penalty area needs to be wikilinked on the first mention
Done. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:39, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"with Matt being replaced by Ade Azeez." - think the player's surname highlighted in bold will suffice

Wikilink VAR to the relevant article
Done. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:41, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"three points from safety and were relegated back to League One." - shouldn't that be League Two and the wikilink amended?
