Talk:Wild card (sports)

message: I think there is a mistake here. The 2006 colts were division champions, and therefore are not a wild card team to win the playoffs. Shouldn't this be deleted?
The US sports media use the phrase "clinch a playoff berth".  Can someone shed some light on what this means, perhaps finding research on origins of applying terms clinch and berth Dudshan (talk) 03:02, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wild card in NFL sections 

message: In working on links to the dab page, I noticed that this article doesn't reflect that wild card is used in any sport (and thereby in a number of entries) when you have someone in the tournament who didn't qualify in the normal way. Even the MW definition reflects that: . I suppose that's why the globalize tag is here. So I went ahead and added it in at the beginning. Planetneutral 03:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Broader sense of term

message: Aren't wild cards essentially just a special case of repechage, applied to qualifying for a postseason? If so, perhaps a merge is in order. — Gwalla | Talk 22:56, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  NFL Wildcard Games 

message: I have tagged the motorcycle racing sub-section as original research, added without any source citation(s) in this edit, during June, 2006.
My attention was drawn to it by a new editor who was trying to abstract infomation from the Wikipedia article to use as an argument to keep their unsourced edits, which later also contained synthesis.
I have also deadlinked-tagged the cited expansion added in January, 2008, as whilst these links may have been accurate around the time 2007/2008, they may not be applicable after that date.
The majority of other sections are equally unsourced, hence are editors' own thoughts on the subject. These are not my concern presently.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 13:25, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article at at-large bid (also redirected from at-large berth and a couple of variant spellings) is currently an unreferenced, unformatted article focussing on one event. I believe the actual terms are synonyms, and the lede of this article even implies as much, so propose that someone who understands it copies any useful NCAA content from the other page to here, and then make it a redirect. - IMSoP (talk) 17:07, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Support: I would like to see the article shrunken down to the point where we can fit a section devoted to at-large bids here. Hopefully that will be done soon. –Piranha249 21:13, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I've completed the merge quite simply; feel free to cut the college section down in situ.  Klbrain (talk) 05:09, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge "At-large bid" 

message: The article is light on sources, and we already have List of National League Wild Card winners, List of American League Wild Card winners, and Major League Baseball Wild Card Game.  I don't see an equivalent article in any of the other major sports.  Is this standalone article really necessary?  A lot of the information is duplicated here at Wild card (sports) already. 162 etc. (talk) 16:53, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
