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

Added the IRFU to the box. Was thinking that the box might be better as an east/west format, rather then a north/south. I'll fool around with some things see what i can do, no changes will be put in the template as a yet. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 06:44, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This Template is very poor. It is huge and has only 4 items. Blurring the North/South divide is controversial. Look at Sport in Ireland and see how much this leaves out. Get rid of the icons, add more sports, link to the main article and don't just have a pretty but pretty useless bar. Joestynes 19:37, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Order[edit]

Please leave this box in a to z order as its the fair npov way to add new items (Gnevin 12:58, 25 January 2007 (UTC))[reply]

External links[edit]

The trouble with adding External links in this template is that they are added to every page that uses the template! I think they should be removed. PeterClarke 14:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I removed them before I saw your note. Guliolopez (talk) 14:29, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ball games[edit]

Why make such a random distinction between ball games and all others in this template? --Kwekubo (talk) 17:45, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge discussion[edit]

Just came across this alternative template - {{Sports governing bodies in Ireland}} - which seems to do the same thing. It's newer. Should it be redirected here? Atlas-maker (talk) 06:45, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
