Elite Leagues & Organizations
[edit]The initiative aims to create and sustain articles about every national premier league and championship, resulting in a broad perspective on women’s ice hockey across the globe.
Leagues with their own initiative pages
[edit]At the moment, only a few of the top-tier international leagues have a substantial enough number of articles to justify their own initiative pages. The goal is to support additional, league-specific initiatives in the future by building up the number and quality of articles for other leagues.
Articles to be created
[edit]League and championship articles are top priority. Team, season, and other supplemental articles can be added when sufficient source material exists for the topic to independently meet WP:GNG.
