* 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.

– There can be no primary topic for the general phrase "British Championship/s", as it could apply broadly to a vast number of competitions.

The ice hockey champions information is inappropriately occupying the primary topic for such a generic phrase. I can find no reliable source that describes this competition clearly as "British Championship", so I'll leave it to knowledgeable editors to suggest a better alternate destination title. This page may also duplicate information on the British ice hockey league champions page, and might be more prime for merging.
The second move is to reflect that most entries listed on the British Championships DAB page are in the singular. -- Netoholic @ 10:40, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support no primary here In ictu oculi (talk) 14:45, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support although I take issued with "there can be no primary topic", as it's perfectly possible for any phrase (no matter how generic it seems) to be a primary topic. There is though no primary topic for this title - a google search on the exact phrase returns results related to (in no particular order) Gymnastics, Triathlon, Judo, Swimming, Ice skating, Taekwando, Beards(!), Athletics, Alpine skiing, Fellrunning, Icelandic horse racing (TIL that Icelandic horses are a thing) and a couple that I can't work out from just the snippet.

I attempted to carry out the move but got a Wikimedia internal error with the second move. -- JHunterJ (talk) 14:13, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@JHunterJ: Do you mean you attempted to move this page to "British Championship" and got an error? Could it be simply because you forgot to delete the target page? Cause it still redirects to "British Championship (ice hockey)". --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:22, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, I mean I attempted to carry out the move, checked the box to delete the target (no forgetfulness involved -- this ain't my first rodeo), and got an error. Which indeed does mean that the move wasn't carried out, so the target still points to the ice hockey page. -- JHunterJ (talk) 14:26, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@JHunterJ: Did you try to delete the target page first and then move this one there? We can also make a technical move request and let the whole Wikipedia try. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:33, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:JHunterJ, Moscow Connection is correct that deleting the target page first works. See WT:RM#T210739: Target deletion during page move fails for info on the bug. Dekimasuよ! 19:14, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
