Wanderers F.C. honours

6 articles

Although now forgotten by all except for football historians, the Wanderers dominated English football in the 1870s, winning five of the first seven FA Cup Finals. This topic includes the main article on the club and the articles on all five of their Cup Final victories. I realise this is a different format to existing FT/GTs on football clubs, but given the very different era in which they played, I don't think the "standard" format would work. Let me know your thoughts, anyway....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:21, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How about changing the topic title to "FA Cup Finals won by Wanderers F.C." (or something much more elegant)? Adabow (talk · contribs) 19:13, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think this definitely needs to be piped like that, or else the topic is incomplete. Staxringold _talk^contribs

So done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:46, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Piping was the wrong term to use, as now that makes the link misleading. I would change the lead to "FA Cups won by Wanderers F.C.". Staxringold _talk^contribs 20:47, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, my mistake, hopefully now fixed -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:51, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Definitely a complete topic now. Adabow (talk · contribs) 23:03, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why not name it Wanderers F.C. successes? Nergaal (talk) 23:08, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because they may have had successes other than winning FC cups. Also just noticed, a book needs to be created. Adabow (talk · contribs) 03:32, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those successes would probably not be notable enough to be covered by articles though. Nergaal (talk) 05:15, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed it to "Wanderers F.C. honours", as that's the term used in English football. They did not win any other honours as no other competitions existed in association football at the time. Will do the book thing later today when I have figured out how to do it........ -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
