This template is within the scope of WikiProject Sports, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of sport-related topics on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.SportsWikipedia:WikiProject SportsTemplate:WikiProject Sportssports articles | | Template | This template does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. | To-do list: |

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
- Article requests :
Requested articles (Sports) Requested articles (Association football) Requested articles (Association football women) Requested articles (Motor sports) Requested articles (Estonian sportspeople) - Assess : newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status.
- Cleanup :
* Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state) * Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) * Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing. * Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show." - Expand : Professional sports (crucial article explaining the salaried undertaking of sports)
* Sport industry (currently a sub-stub) - Photo : for pages listed in Category:Wikipedia requested images of sports and games and sub-categories.
- Stubs : work on articles in Category:Sports stubs
- Update : List of world sports championships
- Other :
- Translate the page of sport in each country from corresponding article in other language Wikipedia to English Wikipedia which was marked in red.
- Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project
- RfCs: answer requests for comment

I'm not sure about this. This could get very big indeed! Mintguy (T) 21:20, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- If and when this grows too big, it can be simply broken into separate templates for groups of similar sports. No need to make strict rules about what should be included. Wipe 08:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
Variants
edit
Should variants of team sports belong here ? Not sure about Futsal. If it belongs there it should probably be grouped with football(soccer) given that it is governed by FIFA. --Spewmaster 00:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Well, I think Futsal is different from soccer as Baseball is different from Softball and Canadian football from American football, aren't they? --Cpt.Miller 13:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
On that topic, Touch Football should be listed under Rugby but it does not come under either League or Union due to the fact that it could fit either catagory, having originated seperately from both codes and ultimately combining to form the seperate sport that it is today. --210.1.221.121 (talk) 14:34, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Their is no touch article for Union if it created , we can add it Gnevin (talk) 15:58, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Bowling?
edit
Is bowling a sport? Corpx 17:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
maybe, but it is not a team sport. --Howard the Duck 03:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
- It should be added, because it CAN be a team sport; they teams play bowling. Tennis (including royal tennis) and badminton need to be added as well.174.3.103.39 (talk) 20:55, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
But it isn't an interdependent team sport. -- Smjg (talk) 17:50, 8 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Grouping
edit
I'm inclined to put polo and hockey into a navbox subgroup under stick-and-ball sports. They all share the common feature of maneuvering a ball (or puck) towards a goal with a type of stick: hockey is distinguished by having the ball rolling or sliding along the ground, while polo is distinguished by the use of a mount.
Also, as sepak takraw is essentially volleyball with feet instead of hands, I think it should be put in the volleyball section (which would be more descriptive than "other").
Thoughts? — Gwalla | Talk 23:25, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
I'm not into this grouping of sports into "codes", that is just broad generalization, and it is certainly not scientific. We can speak of football codes, for instance, since they all developed from the same sport, but, say, waterpolo is most certainly not a "code" of handball. This template was much better before, generalizing seems to have gone out of hand now. Zhelja (talk) 01:58, 22 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thus water polo is listed as other codes Gnevin (talk) 23:15, 22 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Splitting
edit
As per the thread at the very top of this page, I think it'd be good to have this template split into smaller templates, such as "football", linking all the footballs together; all the safehavens, etc. As cricket and American football really have little to do with eachother. However if they were grouped with other footballs and safehavens, the template would be much more meaningful (and a more appropriate size). Anyone else think this is a good idea?--Jeff79 (talk) 11:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
- I have no complaints. What to do with the "miscellaneous" sports, though? — Gwalla | Talk 20:43, 11 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
