FA WSL → FA Women's Super League – As per WP:NCA, We don't normally title articles using acronyms unless that name is overwhelmingly used for the subject. In this case, while the name is often referred to as the WSL, the full name is also commonly used, including in the competition's own logo, as can be seen in its infobox. It is also common in media usage, e.g. by the BBC here. By way of comparison, we have articles at FA Women's Premier League not FA WPL, English Football League not EFL, Scottish Professional Football League not SPFL etc. "FA" can stay abbreviated, as it's an additional descriptor rather than a main part of the competition's name, and "Football Association" in full isn't regular usage here.

Chelsea champions?

I wonder if Chelsea should be listed under Champions, and equally Everton in the WSL 2 section. The spring series is no full season, and the way i remember always called one off tournament. No relegation was used/no places for the Champions League awarded and I don't think Chelsea are English champion by winnign the Spring series. -Koppapa (talk) 11:02, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

They are called "champions" on official competition website in the match report, and also received a trophy, so it should be listed somewhere in the article, maybe a note should be included next to "2017" in the table with an explanation about spring series. Snowflake91 (talk) 11:17, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok, they are champions of the spring series, sure. fawsl.com wording is "champions of inaugural spring series". A headnote would be good, because its not a wsl 1 championship (=english championship like the other in the table). A seperate section could work too. -Koppapa (talk) 12:25, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

I believe the 2017 title should be included, as the WSL note it on their list of top flight championships:

https://twitter.com/BarclaysWSL/status/1662851977322045441?t=cd8hD0SiZj6HVkYHrpUbvg&s=19.

The WSL also include it on their website top flight seasonal tables:

https://womenscompetitions.thefa.com/en/League-Tables/League-tables. 2.30.148.160 (talk) 05:06, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

And I can find you at least two tweets from that same WSL Twitter source, where they didn't count the 2017 series among the titles, the sources are inconsistent. Just refer to the worldfootball and RSSSF, which are very reliable sources, and none of them counts it. Snowflake91 (talk) 10:13, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

FA Women's Super League → Women's Super League – Under the new rebrand, "The FA" has been dropped from the league name as part of the long term strategy for the league to be under new ownership in the future. Per release Hjk1106 (talk) 15:12, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Support - I think that will be the new WP:COMMONNAME by the looks of it. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:24, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Support per official source, and this can be moved right away since its not controversial. Snowflake91 (talk) 15:26, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

I tried to but I got an error message: "The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid." Hjk1106 (talk) 18:26, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

In that case you can list it at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests#Uncontroversial technical requests if the move is obviously uncontroversial, like the change of the name of the competition, and it will get moved by admin. Snowflake91 (talk) 18:32, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
