Source-derived summary

Code XIII was a regional rugby league programme on Channel M.

The programme began in the 2006 season and focused on teams playing in the Greater Manchester area such as Salford City Reds, Wigan Warriors, Leigh Centurions, Rochdale Hornets, Oldham Roughyeds and Swinton Lions.

A spin-off series entitled Code XIII: Grassroots focused on local amateur rugby league.

The programme's producers decided not to produce a series for the 2009 season. In 2009, Channel M, which was running at a loss, also cut more than half of its staff and scaled back its schedule in an effort to reduce costs.

Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Code, XIII and Open-knowledge providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Code XIII”, the useful work is to connect “open-knowledge reference entry” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5140058. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006 and 2009.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
