Welcome to the task force on Irish association football (including football in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland), a descendant project of WikiProject Football. This page contains suggestions on how to improve the articles on the subject. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or include yourself as a participant below.
This task force aims primarily to establish and organise standards for Irish football-related articles, resulting in well-structured and well-written articles, making all articles related to Irish football easy to find. The project plans to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Irish football, to form a co-operative effort of contributions amongst Irish football editors and aid the collaboration of editors with an interest in Irish football, as well as to provide an area where contributors interested in Irish football can identify each other and discuss any issues relevant to their area of interest, or where they want to direct their activities.

This is a list of active Irish football task force participants. New participants can join by editing this section and adding their details to the bottom of the list as well as on the Participants page.
Welcome! Below are some of the actions you can take to help the task force achieve the aforementioned goals.
Any articles that are within the scope of this task force should be tagged with Irish=yes in their Talk page (literally {{WikiProject Football |Irish=yes}}). This will automatically put the page in the appropriate categories.
{{WikiProject Football |Irish=yes}}
Note: Ireland=yes and Irish=y are technically valid but are non-standard inputs.
The WikiProject Football's assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's football related articles. Below is a table of Irish football articles listed by quality and importance:

The following is a set of rough guidelines for assessing importance to articles within the scope of the taskforce:
The proportion of all articles with an assessed project banner is:
100% assessed (estimate: some more article talk pages may still need a banner)
The proportion of all articles with known importance is:
99.5% known importance (Note that articles inherit importance from the main football project by default, though this can be changed to a task force-specific rating)
