Template

This template does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

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

URL changed edit

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

It appears that the IBSF have changed the URL format for athlete profiles. For example, Sébastien Gattuso has his profile now at http://www.ibsf.org/en/athletes/athlete/100329/GATTUSO and not at http://www.ibsf.org/en/bobsleigh/athletes.html?athl_id=100329 which comes up 404.

With a look at a few other athlete profiles, it appears the profiles now are at:

http://www.ibsf.org/en/athletes/athlete/<ID>/<SURNAME>

With the <ID> the same as before, and <SURNAME> is in all caps. I trimmed off the /<SURNAME> portion of the URL and it appears to still bring up the profile. See http://www.ibsf.org/en/athletes/athlete/100329 which still brings up Gattuso's profile.

I'm not very familiar with template syntax so could somebody with the appropriate skills fix this?

Thanks. -- Whpq (talk) 20:38, 28 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
