Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Consensus appears to be move - and is in keeping with convention for other MLS teams that share a name with a lower division team. --Trödel 14:43, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
Orlando City Soccer Club (2015) → Orlando City Soccer Club – We need to move this page to Orlando City Soccer Club page, since the USL Pro team is done. I don't know how to make it so that the links to the old page stay linked to that one. Elisfkc (talk) 22:29, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- NOTE the nominator moved the former article at Orlando City Soccer Club (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) to Orlando City Soccer Club (2010–14) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) on 14 September 2014, so this is in effect, a multimove request. -- 70.51.46.146 (talk) 04:37, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment seems a bit Crystally... 2015 is many months away, and the season even further away. The preseason should start first before this is renamed. -- 70.51.46.146 (talk) 04:37, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- Do we need Soccer Club at the end? Why not Orlando City or, if we need soccer club at the end, why not "S.C." to be more consistent with clubs like Seattle Sounder FC or Manchester United F.C.? Kingjeff (talk) 04:46, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. GiantSnowman 06:54, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- OK, so Orlando City Soccer Club (2015) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) should be moved to Orlando City SC (2015) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), and that Orlando City Soccer Club (2010–14) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) should be moved to Orlando City SC (2010) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). That is standard naming convention - abbreviating the 'Soccer Club' (without punctuation marks in North America) and having only the year the club was founded, see Accrington Stanley F.C. (1891) as a long-established example. Orlando City Soccer Club (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) should be moved to Orlando City SC (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and turned into a disambiguation page, as there is (currently) no clear PRIMARYTOPIC. Redirects created/cleaned-up as appropriate. And finally a big WP:TROUT to the nominator @Elisfkc: for starting to move pages before starting this discussion, you've just made it harder for the closing admin to track page histories. GiantSnowman 07:00, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Kingjeff: The old page, Orlando City Soccer Club (2010-2014) was moved to Orlando City Soccer Club from Orlando City SC (See Here). Giant & 70.51.46.146: I thought I could easily move them myself, and I was wrong. I didn't mean to make it harder for anyone. If I would have known, I would have done a multimove request without moving Orlando City Soccer Club (2010-2014). Elisfkc (talk) 13:24, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Why is the year in parentheses 2015? Shouldn't it be 2014 as they've unveiled their crest a few months ago and have announced today (16 September 2014) which players they're retaining. TheBigJagielka (talk) 17:27, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Since no one has objected, I'm planning on closing this discussion and tagging it with {{db-move|1=Orlando City Soccer Club|2=Moving from Future Team to Present Team}} tonight. Elisfkc (talk) 15:13, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Actually, I don't even think I know how to close this correctly. GiantSnowman do you mind helping out? Elisfkc (talk) 04:53, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Elisfkc: - there is opposition, from me. I have proposed alternative page names. GiantSnowman 08:15, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- @GiantSnowman: - my bad, didn't remember that. However, according to their website and the press release that announced them as an expansion team, their name is Orlando City Soccer Club.[1] It is the most common name in media, on their website, and everywhere else. The 2010-2014 was moved from Orlando City SC to Orlando City Soccer Club because of the fact that it is the most common name (Right Here). Elisfkc (talk) 13:31, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- Nope, standard naming is to have the 'Football Club/Sport Club' element of the name abbreviated e.g. Manchester United F.C., Seattle Sounders FC etc. I see no reason why this should be any different. GiantSnowman 20:47, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- Ok @GiantSnowman:, after doing a Google News search similar to the one that was cited for the move to Orlando City Soccer Club from Orlando City SC, I see your point. Though in my mind it should still be Orlando City Soccer Club, I see that Orlando City SC is used more and therefore is really how the articles should be names. The only two problems I have now with your initial proposal to make both pages Orlando City SC is that the name of the old page should be Orlando City SC (2010-2014) and the new one should be Orlando City SC. This follows the precedent of other teams in North America moving from a lower league into the MLS, such as San Jose Earthquakes (San Jose Earthquakes (1974–88) & San Jose Earthquakes), Seattle Sounders (Seattle Sounders (1994–2008) & Seattle Sounders FC), Portland Timbers (Portland Timbers (2001–10) & Portland Timbers), and the Vancouver Whitecaps (Vancouver Whitecaps (1986–2010) & Vancouver Whitecaps FC). Elisfkc (talk) 18:17, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- If that is the consensus for North American articles (note non-US ones such as Accrington Stanley F.C. (1891) and Airdrieonians F.C. (1878) which only have year of founding), and with emerging consensus in this discussion that the MLS club is the PRIMARYTOPIC, then the two articles should be moved to Orlando City SC and Orlando City SC (2010–2014). GiantSnowman 18:23, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- Support as proposed--why not? Red Slash 03:13, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- Support. This really didn't need separate articles to begin with, it's the same team for all intents and purposes. But this incarnation is obviously the primary topic now.--Cúchullain t/c 13:35, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Moved to Orlando City SC
Please note per agreement above between Snowman and Elisfkc (and the lack of any other Wikipedians objecting) - I finalized the move to Orlando City SC. However, I do so noting that if there are any objections raised here we should have another proper move discussion. --Trödel 17:18, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
Help with Move
CLICK for list of pages needing review
There is no easy way to update the links because some will need to stay and reference the new club and some will need to be changed. Please help by going through the pages from this What links here list. --Trödel 14:43, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- PS I know there are some Wikipedia edit assist tools that can help with this task - so you may want to use them - but I am unfamiliar with them.
- PPS Please also make the references consistent Orlando City SC seems to be preferred over Orlando City S.C. but the latter is still in use (and sometimes in the same article as the former) - while reviewing please make these consistent. I.e. use Orlando City SC
Please update below what you are working on and when completed:

Kit Edit War
Since there seems to be the beginnings of an edit war involving multiple people over the correct kits in the infobox, let's talk about it over here.
First off, my opinion is that Walter Görlitz (talk · contribs) & Fenix down (talk · contribs) (who are both Wikipedia admins by the way) are correct to use existing templates over newly made ones. This follows the best practice lain out in the template's documentation. Also, the "specific" Orlando City kits are incorrect according to the template, which states "Club badges, sponsor logos, and manufacturer logos should never be included." Second, unless the team store and I missed something, Orlando City does not have a third kit. As such, the "specific" Orlando City kits edits are incorrect again, as they include a third kit. Elisfkc (talk) 18:01, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not an admin. Fenix down is.
- Many club articles incorporate small logos, so that's not the worst part, but we do have images without the logos and they should be used.
- The issue for me is that the kits aren't sources. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:50, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- It's not an edit war from my pov. My revert was to remove the additions by a known and repeated vandal of kits, whose long history in adding nonsense kits can be seen here. As far as I am concerned the current kits are fine. Fenix down (talk) 09:59, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
Deleting Active Teams
Deleting Active Teams box, following the seemingly end of discussion on Talk:Sporting Kansas City/Archive 1#Infobox. If you have objections, please take it up there, so as to keep everything in one place. Elisfkc (talk) 22:29, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
Orlando City's home Jerseys.
It has been months since the teams' 2017 jersey was released and no one had updated their jersey here. It will be carried over next season.
Their new home jersey has the similar concept of Portland's home jersey where there it has the color gold in the stripes and with a collar as well. It is like LA Galaxy's away jersey where it has various shades of the teams primary color too.
