# Talk:1982 Los Angeles Rams–Green Bay Packers game

@Gonzo fan2007: Did each team play the other members of their conference only once per season? Did these two teams play each other just once in 1982 so you don't need to specify the date? --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:14, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Moscow Connection, I am not 100% sure what you mean. The Rams and Packers have played each other 100 times. If we titled this Los Angeles Rams–Green Bay Packers game, than there would be nothing to differentiate which game we are discussing. This is also the standard naming format for regular season NFL games that don't have a nickname. See Category:NFL games for other examples. The format is "SEASON AWAY TEAM–HOME TEAM game". This would allow us to differentiate two regular season games against the same opponents. As an example, if both regular season games between the Packers and Bears this year were to become notable, they would be named 2025 Chicago Bears–Green Bay Packers game and 2025 Green Bay Packers–Chicago Bears game. I hope this answers your question. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  16:57, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

I hope this answers your question.– Yes, this answers my question. The article's title absolutely unambiguously differentiates this game from all the other NFL games that were played in 1982 (or ever, for that matter). --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:12, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

@Gonzo fan2007: although |stadium= and |city= are separate parameters, they are displayed consecutively, which creates a WP:LINKSTYLE problem. Only the most specific item should be linked here. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:25, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

Nikkimaria, I am just going to respond in one location, fyi. WP:GEOLINK doesn't apply, as that covers just the combination of placetypes and linking. A stadium is obviously not part of the placetype CITY, STATE, COUNTRY which WP:GEOLINK provides guidance on how to avoid. Even WP:SEAOFBLUE really only applies to items that could be confusing. I.e. the example that is given is using [[chess tournament]] instead of [[chess]] [[tournament]]. The average reader can grasp that the first part is the stadium and the second part is its location. All that said, this has been applied this way consistently for years and is used across hundreds of pages, so if you are looking for a change or clarification, I would recommend gaining consensus, maybe at WT:NFL, Template talk:Infobox American football game, or Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @  15:14, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
