Welcome toWikiProject Sports. This collaboration resource and group is dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage ofsports, including the organization of information and articles on this topic area. This page and its subpages contain suggestions and various resources, including article assessment information, that we hope help focus the efforts of other Wikipedians to improve all sport related articles in order to make Wikipedia an excellent resource for sports-related information for all who visit. And we are here to point editors in the right direction to get involved in child projects that focus on their more particular sporting interests. If you would like to help, please inquire on thetalk page,join the project, and see theto-do list below.
ThisWikiProject aims primarily to:

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 onthe assessment page.
An article's quality assessment is recorded using the|class= parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the{{WikiProject Sports}} banner template on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.
The following standard grades may be used to describe the quality of mainspace articles (seeWikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
| FA | (forfeatured articlesonly; adds them to theFA-Class sports articles category) |  FA | |
|---|---|---|---|
| FL | (forfeatured listsonly; adds them to theFL-Class sports articles category) | FL | |
| A | (for articles that passed a formalpeer reviewonly; adds them to theA-Class sports articles category) |  A | |
| GA | (forgood articlesonly; adds them to theGA-Class sports articles category) |  GA | |
| B | (for articles that satisfy all of theB-Class criteria; adds them to theB-Class sports articles category) | B | |
| C | (for substantial articles; adds them to theC-Class sports articles category) | C | |
| Start | (for developing articles; adds them to theStart-Class sports articles category) | Start | |
| Stub | (for basic articles; adds them to theStub-Class sports articles category) | Stub | |
| List | (forstand-alone lists; adds them to theList-Class sports articles category) | List | |
| NA | (for any other pages where assessment is unwarranted; adds them to theNA-Class sports pages category) | NA | |
| ??? | (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in theUnassessed sports articles category) | ??? |
For non-mainspace content, the following values may be used:
| Category | (forcategories; adds them to theCategory-Class sports pages category) | Category | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Draft | (fordrafts; adds them to theDraft-Class sports pages category) | Draft | |
| File | (forfiles andtimed text; adds them to theFile-Class sports pages category) | File | |
| Portal | (forportal pages; adds them to thePortal-Class sports pages category) | Portal | |
| Project | (forproject pages; adds them to theProject-Class sports pages category) | Project | |
| Template | (fortemplates andmodules; adds them to theTemplate-Class sports pages category) | Template |
The following non-standard assessment grades for mainspace content may be used at a WikiProject's discretion:
| Disambig | (fordisambiguation pages; adds them to theDisambig-Class sports pages category) | Disambig | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redirect | (forredirect pages; adds them to theRedirect-Class sports pages category) | Redirect |
These are some of the most important articles to improve to GA-quality or better - or at least cleanup to B-class without tags.

Should not be used for articles that already have a more specific sports WikiProject tag, unless their tag does not support assessments and you are assessing the article. | ||||||||||||||

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 mainSports page, or if they become too long on separate pages linked to by the main page.
Suggested topics:
The purpose of these articles (e.g.,History of baseball,2009 in sports) is to summarise significant events that are relevant to the sport or period under review. It is very important that the articles are not encumbered by excessive detail, particularly where a certain theme is being promoted. This is in accordance with general Wikipedia guidelines and policies such asWP:NOT#STATS,WP:UNDUEWEIGHT andWP:NOTDIRECTORY.
For that reason, the project hasdecided to exclude lists of births and deaths. Births have no conceivable importance to sports in the year of the person's birth, no matter how famous the person might become a generation hence. Deaths of active sportspersons are significant but must be recorded under a section about the relevant sport or the relevant time period.
Articles that cover a sport's general history must be categorised inCategory:History of sports and a category specific to the history of that sport. Histories of specific events in a sport or covering a limited period only must not be categorised in the sports history category.
Currently, there are relatively few general histories about individual sports and most sports have their histories within the sport's own article (e.g., the history of boxing is in the mainboxing article, whereasbaseball has ahistory of baseball article). Until such time as a general history of the sport can be created, the main article must be included in the sports history category.
