Template talk:GamesSport

No icon = No dice

Just a note to say that sports which don't yet have a pictogram in .svg format cannot use this template. For instance, Dragon boat and those associated with Cue sports are programmed in, but there are no .svg pictograms for them yet (just in .jpg so far). If anyone would be so kind to make them that would be great.

I think the majority of common Games events are catered for although I haven't done anything for the winter sports as of yet. Any additions or fixes are most welcome. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits)^{Join WikiProject Athletics!} 13:30, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Need to fix sailing template

I noticed that the {{GamesSport|Sailing template directs to Yachting instead of Sailing (sport). How do I fix this? --ChaChaFut (talk) 01:42, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Dancesport

• 
  Current image for dancesport
• 
• 
  Breakdancing pictogram

We can't use the current pictogram if the dancesport program does not include ballroom dance. Pelmeen10 (talk) 14:15, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Cycling

Currently the template link for cycling is the general article Cycling, which discusses bicycling for transportation, recreation, and sport. Should it not link to the sport-specific article Cycle sport?—ShelfSkewed Talk 08:28, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

New changes

Is it functioning as intended?

Modern pentathlon - Equstrian sport will be replaced by an obstacle race

Equestrian sport will be replaced by an obstacle race in Modern Pentathlon after the 2024 Summer Olympics. In wikipedia we require two different pictograms for modern pentathlon.

One with the equestrian sport for all articles which concern modern pentathlon before the change - and one with the obstacle race for all articles which concern modern pentathlon after the change. How is that possible with the template "GamesSport"?

• 
  Correct pictogram for modern pentathlon until Summer Olympics 2024

  Correct pictogram for modern pentathlon after Summer Olympics 2024
