Editing Help:Reconstructing tournament results (section)

== 12. Publishing reconstructed results ==

Once the available evidence has been evaluated, update the relevant WikiPaintball article.

The article should clearly distinguish:

* Published tournament details.
* Confirmed participating teams.
* Documented final results.
* Individual awards.
* Season standings.
* Unresolved historical information.

Only include sections supported by the available evidence.

For a specific event, use the established article naming format:

* YEAR Event Name

Retain existing articles rather than creating duplicates.

Use [[Internal links]] to connect the tournament, participating teams, series and venue where appropriate.

=== Citation requirements ===

WikiPaintball uses manually numbered references.

Each factual claim should be supported by the appropriate source, with citations in the form [1], [2] and so on.

The matching reference list belongs under == References ==.

Reuse the same number when citing the same source again.

Do not use citation templates, automatically generated references or unsupported source descriptions.

For editing instructions, see [[Help:Editing WikiPaintball]].

=== Publishing incomplete results ===

It is acceptable to publish a tournament article containing only a verified winner or partial podium.

Do not manufacture additional placements simply to complete the table.

If necessary, explain that the remaining finishing positions have not been established from the available sources.

A partial, accurately sourced record is preferable to a complete but speculative reconstruction.
