:Should probably note that something similar has been [[Forum:Add an ongoing events section to the News template|suggested in the past]] to no avail. My opinion is still largely the same, in that unless we have some way to automatically update the section, I don't see a section like this really useful.

::I did not know about the previous proposal until now. I do have a question. Why does it need to be updated automatically? People already manually update '''weekly in-game event''', so I see no reason why the same can't be done for this (Edit: I just realized you made the same point in the forum). The news section is updated regularly anyways.
::Regarding the complaint in the forum about tournaments lasting only a few days, I think it would make most sense to post the tournament beforehand (at the beginning of the week perhaps, as virtually all major tournaments take place on weekends). After the tournament is over, it can be removed and replaced by the same edit that posts the results of the tournament. -- [[User:Ethan7|<span style="color:#000f55;font-family:Cursive;font-style:italic">Ethan</span>]]<small>'' ([[User talk:Ethan7|<span style="color:Blue">Discussion</span>]])''</small> 14:18, April 15, 2022 (EDT)
:::It's more so just a personal preference so we don't have to remember to make changes to the section every time a national tournament concludes, especially when tournaments often end late at night on my end.

::::It wouldn't be impossible to make an automatic list. Using the following creates a list for current tournaments: <code><nowiki>{{#categorytree:Current events|mode=pages|hideroot=on|hideprefix=always|namespaces=Tournament|style="display:inline-flex"}}</nowiki></code> (inline-flex is to put it into one line, is a list format otherwise). There's no way I've found to add commas, limit it to a certain number, sort it, or really any finer control and it also requires JavaScript. A better way would be with {{iw|mw|Extension:DynamicPageList}} which we don't have and may be the "extensions we don't currently have" that Toomai mentioned in the forum. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 15:30, April 15, 2022 (EDT)
