For example, instead of your current format of individual team --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Carol...al_leaders

you could add a conference link back such as --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/aac

Then ECU would look like this --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/aac/East_C...al_leaders instead of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Carol...al_leaders

That isn't allowed, per Wikipedia rules.

I didn't know that. That's too bad.

You can't directly put it in the URL, but each article has a conference navbox at the bottom, so there is some connection to teams in the same conference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:A...ers_navbox

Thanks! How do you keep the page(s) from being hijacked? I know anyone can edit them. A lone time ago my boss at the time told me not to use Wikipedia as a direct reference due to that fact of anyone being able to reference, although I could use the footnotes references.

Wikipedia is actually surprisingly accurate nowadays. Not necessarily with politically or socially charged issues, but i used it without reference on every chem/bio assignment I ever had without a single problem (to fill in gaps in my knowledge, not direct quotes). Changes notify the mods of the sections and they correct obvious inaccuracies. I suppose you could slightly inflate certain records for your school and not be noticed, but if I start listing UCF Heisman winners, that's not lasting.

I guess you can't really, other than periodically checking your school's article to see if it's been updated, and checking what the changes were.

I kinda doubt someone would bother to vandalize these articles, but if someone does, Wikipedia has a feature to easily revert back to a previous version.
