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

Redlinks

Putting potential articles here. IF created, they can be moved into the article/ Montanabw^(talk) 00:10, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In no way wishing to be confrontational, but just for my own convenience, I'm putting them back in the article. I'll hide those that are red for now. But red links are supposed to be good in wikipedia, as they show which articles still need to be written, and I would like to propose that they be unhidden for that very reason. I was, I must admit, totally gobsmacked to find no article on the Doma vaquera, arguably the most influential riding style in the world; a red link would have drawn attention to that oversight.

I have no real idea how these things should be organised, but thought about four main divisions: International and Olympic, English, Western, Traditional and Regional, with maybe a catchall Other at the end. But the more I think about it, the harder it seems to make any sense of it. An alternative would be a simple alphabetic list with no categories.

That hidden text works. It is what we have at the list of horse breeds to hold spots so people don't just add stuff randomly (It used to be red link city!) . As for categories, it's a work in progress. You are on a good track, I did add "racing" and "rodeo" because they don't fit neatly into some of the others (rodeos being not just western, but also Aussies, Chilean, etc...) I wouldn't use "traditional" because EVERYONE's "thing" is traditional. And some things will no doubt have to be in multiple categories, but maybe only wikilinked the first time. I like the regional category for the stuff that doesn't involve millions of people and horses the way the English and Western disciplines do. Maybe add "regional" for now, come up with some better way to categorize the team sports like Polo and polocrosse (hey! "Team Sports") and I don't know what to do with the timed game stuff like Gymkhana, maybe "general" is good for that. All a work in progress. Montanabw^(talk) 05:38, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Annotated links

I changed the regular wikilinks to annotated links. If some are blank, or you don't like the description, then change the Template:Short description in the source article. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 17:46, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Organization

The organization of sections is a little strange. Maybe use Template:Equestrian Sports as a guideline. Note that navboxes are not even displayed to mobile users. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 17:46, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regional

What does "regional" in List of equestrian sports § Regional mean? And why would jousting or tent pegging be "regional"? Maybe put these items under a better section and do away with "regional". ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 17:46, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
