Any member of WikiProject Sports may assess Sports-related articles by following the guidelines below. If you aren't sure about an article, ask about it on the assessment page.

The {{WikiProject Sports}} template has a class= and an importance= parameter which provide an article assessment and importance rating for each article:

The following values may be used for the class parameter. Please note that you must type them exactly as below as they are case-sensitive:

If a rating is not assigned, the article will be filed in Category:Unassessed sports articles. The class should be assigned according to the grading scheme. A list of Unassessed and In dispute articles can be discussed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports/Assessment.

The following values may be used for the importance parameter. Please note that you must type them exactly as below as they are case-sensitive:

The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, and may be omitted in those cases.

*Aims to standardize the style of tables to display results (e.g. for Olympic track-and-field competitions, etc.) Presently there are many styles of such tables, and it has been suggested that this is confusing and inefficient.

[edit] Structure

There shall be an alphabetical list of all sports. There shall also be an organization of sports by categories. There shall be a listing of sport competitions, that involve multiple sports (e.g. the Olympics, the Commonwealth Games, the Maccabiah Games, the Good Will Games, etc.) -- competitions for particular sports, or groups of sports, would be better located on the page for that sport. The lists of competitions should be organized along the lines of what area of the world they involve -- i.e. are they global (e.g. the Olympics), restricted to a particular region of the world (Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa, etc.), or restricted to a particular country (in which case, they could be placed under a section on the sport in that particular country.) These lists shall be either on the main Sports page, or if they become too long on separate pages linked to by the main page.

Suggested Topics:

  • information on sport in general (what is a sport?, why do people play sports?, what are the benefits of sport?)
  • information on particular sports (Wikiproject Sports Listing)
  • information on sporting competitions, clubs, events (incl. the Olympic Games)
  • famous Sportspeople
  • sports ethics, drugs in sport, cheating
  • related areas: sports law, sports medicine
  • sporting history

No classification of Sports has been defined. See this example on dividing a topic into a hierarchy.
