2020-21 new playoffs[edit]

For the 2020-21 season the nfl changed their playoff schedules.a 7th seed is accepted, 2nd seed no longer has a bye. The lowest seed still plays vs the 1st seed in the divisional round but the other 2 wild card winners face each other. Here is more info: https://www.vikings.com/news/2020-nfl-season-new-playoff-format-for-league 1st Username (talk) 12:16, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. A new bracket must be made. I have no idea how to do it though. Jdavi333 (talk) 16:51, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Although I initially created Template:12TeamBracket-NFL, I had used Template:Round16 as a basis. I had no part in implementing those re-seeding conditionals that render dotted lines, as described on Template:12TeamBracket-NFL/doc#Re-seeding. The editor who did that is no longer active. I also really had no part in implementing the red/blue coloring scheme, which switches depending on whether the AFC or the NFC is listed first. So until a new 14-team version is made by someone who knows how the previous template works, let's temporarily use Template:Round16 here. Zzyzx11 (talk) 18:18, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

When ready[edit]

When this template is ready, then the back bone can be ported over to: Template:14TeamBracket-NFL. Afterwards, future modifications can be made so that it does not need to rely on a 16-team format. Good work. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 10:01, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Protect the Template from Vandalism[edit]

On January 14, 2021, multiple unregistered users erroneously vandalized the template with final scores up to Super Bowl LV. This is clear and convincing evidence that the page should be semi-protected from vandalism. Sammy Maggio (talk) 21:42, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sammy Maggio, I've requested (temporary) page protection. –Piranha249 23:31, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think in past years it has been semi-protected from the beginning of the playoffs through the Super Bowl. Jdavi333 (talk) 01:43, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Jdavi333: I tried to notify HJ Mitchell (who protected this page) about this fact, but received no reply as of now. –Piranha249 20:01, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's protected for now. We can always re-protect when it expires. Jdavi333 (talk) 21:44, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 17 January 2021[edit]

Add Buffalo to the AFC championship game. Jaymaron (talk) 18:58, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Buffalo will be added after today's AFC play-off game.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 19:03, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
