If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.SportsWikipedia:WikiProject SportsTemplate:WikiProject Sportssports

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 :
- Add reliable sources. Experienced editors have free access to books on sports from McFarland.
- 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

Tooltips for W, L, and T abbreviations

Currently, the Check winner by scores module outputs the letters W, L, and T to indicate Win, Loss, and Tie, respectively. However, these letters appear without any tooltips or explanations.

Because of this, some readers might not immediately understand what W, L, or T stand for when viewing the results.

Adding tooltips, for example, using the existing {{Tooltip}} template (like {{Tooltip|W|Won}}, which renders as W), would improve clarity and usability by showing a helpful hover text explaining each abbreviation.

It is currently unclear if the module can be modified to include such tooltips directly. If anyone with Lua or MediaWiki template expertise can confirm the possibility or suggest improvements, that input would be greatly appreciated. Abhiramakella (talk) 22:46, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
