Frequently asked questions

Q1: Superstar A and Superstar B teamed up on Raw, but only team up every few weeks. Does this count as a tag team?

A1: No. A tag team is an active duo of wrestlers who tag-team regularly. A stable consists of more than two people, but doesn't necessarily need to consist of wrestlers.

Q2: Superstar C joined Superstars A and B to form a stable. Can I add Superstar C to the team?

A2: Yes, only if are officially stated via a WWE article.

Q3: Superstar A hasn't appeared on WWE television for a while. Can I add him as inactive?

A3: If Superstar A appeared on television less than 30 days ago, no don't add him as inactive. However if Superstar A appeared on television more than 30 days ago, then yes. Add the following line (edit as necessary): Inactive; last seen on WWE television on....

Q4: Superstar A appeared on ECW this past week even though he normally appears on Raw. Can I add him to the ECW roster?

A4: We follow WWE.com's superstar list, so therefore if he is still listed on Raw's roster on WWE.com, we should keep him there until they move him.

change all "Pay-per-views" to "Premium Live events" as it is no longer called that way. 110.44.119.202 (talk) 08:32, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Consensus is to use "pay-per-view" as it is the more common term; "premium live event" is a marketing term. — Czello ^(music) 08:37, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

HHH Pedrigree is continuing to disregard warning for WP:EW as they continue to add Jacob Fatu's page to list of active roster members. Fatu's signing isn't official, nor has he debuted. I'm submitting a request for an account review as this behavior doesn't warrant a continued ability to edit pages, but I wanted to make everyone else aware that this is going on. Секретное общество (talk) 03:54, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are the one removing sourced information. Independent sources like Wrestling Observer or PWInsider confirmed his signing. Since Wikipedia is based around independent sources and not confirmation from companies, there is no need for a confirmation from WWE. PWinsider already reported people signing contracts with no confirmation from WWE (like Cody Rhodes, John Morrison or Eva Marie), people claiming it's false and weeks later, the wrestler made his surprise return.--HHH Pedrigree (talk) 07:12, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's reliably sourced; what's the issue? — Czello ^(music) 17:54, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The source isn't the issue, but the context within the source is. As aforementioned, it's always been Wikipedia standard WP:MoS to not list any status changes before an official announcement has been made by the company in which the person is signing with has made said announcement, or that the given person has debuted. Since he has done neither, he isn't warranted to be listed on the official roster. Секретное общество (talk) 05:34, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We don't add a player to a basketball/football/baseball/hockey roster until the signing is officially announced, even if it's being reported in reliable sources. We should hold to the same standard here. Especially since the reputation of pro wrestling dirtsheets as "reliable sources" is utterly laughable. oknazevad (talk) 12:46, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The signing has been confirmed, not rumored, by 3 reliable sources. Independent, third party sources. F4online, PWInsider and Fightfull. PWInsider already reported John Morrison, Eva Marie and Cody Rhodes signing with WWE, only to make their debut months later (do you think WWE is gonna announce Cody Rhodes' return and spoil his WrestleMania return?). Fightful reported AOP returning to WWE. Fightful also reported Eric Young returning to WWE just to leave a few months later, with no confirmation from WWE itself. No reason to avoid information just because a primary, non-independent source didn't confirmed it. There is no point to use Third party reliable sources if we need a primary source to confirm it (Maybe, McMahon retired because he was tired, since WWE never mentioned his sexual scandal in 2022). On the other side, when a independent source reports an exit, like NXT the last year, no-one said "wait until WWE confirms this", everyone says "yeah, independent source confirmed it". --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:17, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your ONE source (not three) says, quote: "Another member of The Bloodline could be headed to WWE.

According to a report from Fightful Select, Jacob Fatu has been telling people he has signed with the company. However, sources within WWE have not confirmed the news and Fatu has not responded to requests for comment."

When it's official, feel free to add him. Your source clearly states that it's hearsay. You've violated WP:EW several times now and continue to misquote your sources, and although I've refrained from submitting a report, I'm going to do so later today if I see one more misleading edit.

Hi! Could I get a bit more context on As aforementioned, it's always been Wikipedia standard WP:MoS to not list any status changes before an official announcement has been made by the company in which the person is signing with has made said announcement, or that the given person has debuted. I've never seen that be a thing in the MOS. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:05, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MoS states that articles should all adhere to the same style.. that's the only thing I'm referencing there. What applies to one page applies to all. Секретное общество (talk) 13:07, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

...I don't think that is what our MOS says at all, quite a bit of our MOS says things don't have to be the same (see things like WP:RETAIN). I don't see how even if our MOS said that we should be completely uniform it would then mean that we should not list any status changes before an official announcement has been made by the company in which the person is signing with has made said announcement, or that the given person has debuted. I just don't understand where that is a thing listed in our MOS. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:23, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MoS aside, the user is listing someone who isn't officially signed. The article clearly states that it's speculation. Regardless, I'm going to refrain for editing The given page until a decision is made on my request. Секретное общество (talk) 00:55, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see John Cena

Given that John Cena primarily appears on Smackdown whenever he does make an appearance, shouldn't he be listed on the Smackdown roster? He's not even listed on this entire page, including the non-assigned personnel section, even though he's still contracted by WWE! 181.188.59.230 (talk) 06:52, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
