This page sets out a desired standard format for all articles included in "Sport at the year Summer Olympics" series, as decided upon by members of WikiProject Olympics.

Infobox edit

Medal summary edit

This section is divided in two sub-sections (one per gender, === Men === and === Women ===), each featuring a table that lists all medalists in every event comprising the sport. Below are the guidelines necessary to properly present this table and its contents:

  • The table's script code head must be transcluded with the {{MedalistTable}} template, which must be further defined with the parameter type=Event; this renders a four-column wikitable with "Event", "Gold", "Silver", and "Bronze" as header titles;

Example:

{| {{MedalistTable|type=Event}}
|-
| event
| gold
| silver
| bronze
|}
Event Gold Silver Bronze
event gold silver bronze
  • The "Event" column should contain the event name (unlinked) and, after a line break (<br/>), an italicized "details" string, linked to the event page (use {{DetailsLink}});
  • The "Gold", "Silver", and "Bronze" columns shall exhibit the respective medal-winning competitor or team.

Individuals edit

  • If the medalist is an individual competitor, use {{flagIOCmedalist}} to render his/her name along with his/her nation's flag, name and IOC code.

Example:

{| {{MedalistTable|type=Event}}
|-
| Shot put<br/>{{DetailsLink|Athletics at the 2008 Summer Olympics - Women's shot put}}
| {{flagIOCmedalist|[[Valerie Vili]]|NZL|2008 Summer}}
| {{flagIOCmedalist|[[Natallia Mikhnevich]]|BLR|2008 Summer}}
| {{flagIOCmedalist|[[Nadzeya Astapchuk]]|BLR|2008 Summer}}
|}

Teams edit

  • If the medalist is a team, employ {{flagIOCteam}} to render the nation's name along with its flag and IOC code;
  • If the team is composed of up to nine members, their names can be normally listed below the template-rendered nation's name (using line breaks after each name);

Example:

{| {{MedalistTable|type=Event}}
|-
| 4×100 metre relay<br/>{{DetailsLink|Athletics at the 2008 Summer Olympics - Men's 4x100 metre relay}}
| valign="top"| {{flagIOCteam|JAM|2008 Summer}}<br/>[[Nesta Carter]]<br/>[[Michael Frater]]<br/>[[Usain Bolt]]<br/>[[Asafa Powell]]<br/>''[[Dwight Thomas]]''
| valign="top"| {{flagIOCteam|TRI|2008 Summer}}<br/>[[Keston Bledman]]<br/>[[Marc Burns]]<br/>[[Emmanuel Callender]]<br/>[[Richard Thompson (athlete)|Richard Thompson]]<br/>''[[Aaron Armstrong]]''
| valign="top"| {{flagIOCteam|JPN|2008 Summer}}<br/>[[Naoki Tsukahara]]<br/>[[Shingo Suetsugu]]<br/>[[Shinji Takahira]]<br/>[[Nobuharu Asahara]] 
|}
  • However, if the team roster exceeds more than nine members, it is recommended the use of {{Columns-list}} to display the entire name list in a more compact way;

Example:

{| {{MedalistTable|type=Event}}
|-
| Men's basketball<br/>{{DetailsLink|Basketball at the 2008 Summer Olympics - Men}}
| valign="top"| {{flagIOCteam|USA|2008 Summer}}<br/>{{columns-list|colwidth=10em|small=yes|style=width:22em|{{ubl|[[Carmelo Anthony]]|[[Carlos Boozer]]|[[Chris Bosh]]|[[Kobe Bryant]]|[[Dwight Howard]]|[[LeBron James]]|[[Jason Kidd]]|[[Chris Paul]]|[[Tayshaun Prince]]|[[Michael Redd]]|[[Dwayne Wade]]|[[Deron Williams]]}}}}

Shared medalists edit

Combat sports, such as boxing, judo, taekwondo, and wrestling, award two bronze medals by default. Other events, in the case of ties, can also award a medal of the same value to more than one competitor.

  • For such cases, the medal-winners must be placed in separate row cells under the shared medal-type column;

Example:

{| {{MedalistTable|type=Event}}
|-
| rowspan="2"| Light flyweight<br/>{{DetailsLink|Boxing at the 2008 Summer Olympics - Light flyweight}}
| rowspan="2"| {{flagIOCmedalist|[[Zou Shiming]]|CHN|2008 Summer}}
| rowspan="2"| {{flagIOCmedalist|[[Pürevdorjiin Serdamba]]|MGL|2008 Summer}}
| {{flagIOCmedalist|[[Paddy Barnes]]|IRL|2008 Summer}}
|-
| {{flagIOCmedalist|[[Yampier Hernández]]|CUB|2008 Summer}}
|}

Medal table edit

In this section, all nations that won medals in the events comprising the sport are listed in a table. Its layout and content display and organization are treated as follows:

  • The table's source code head must be transcluded with {{RankedMedalTable}}, which renders a six-column wikitable with "Rank", "Nation", "Gold", "Silver", "Bronze" and "Total" as column headers.

Example:

{| {{subst:RankedMedalTable/sandbox}}
|-
| rank || nation || gold || silver || bronze || total
|}
Rank Nation Gold Silver Bronze Total
rank nation gold silver bronze total
  • The "Rank" column displays a nation's rank (integer number) in the sport, as sorted out after applying the following criteria:
    1. number of gold medals;
    2. number of silver medals;
    3. number of bronze medals;
  • For nations sharing the same rank, use rowspan="n" (where n is the number of tied nations) in the rank cell of the first tied nation;
  • The "Nation" column should display the name of the nation occupying a specific rank, aligned to the left (align="left"). For this purpose, use the {{flagIOCteam}} template;
  • The number of gold, silver and/or bronze medals won by a nation, should be added under the "Gold", "Silver" and "Bronze" columns, with the last column ("Total") showing the combined number of medals;
  • The last row is reserved for the total number of medals awarded in the sport:
    • Cells should have a gray-colored header appearance (begin row script code with !);
    • The first cell, named "Total", should span two columns (colspan="2");
    • The following three cells shall contain the total number of gold, silver, and bronze medals awarded in the sport;
    • The fifth and last cell shall contain the sum of medals won by all medal-winning nations.

Example (from Archery at the 2004 Summer Olympics):

{| {{subst:RankedMedalTable/sandbox}}
|-
| 1 ||align="left"| {{flagIOCteam|KOR|2004 Summer}} || 3 || 1 || 0 || 4
|-
| 2 ||align="left"| {{flagIOCteam|ITA|2004 Summer}} || 1 || 0 || 0 || 1
|-
| 3 ||align="left"| {{flagIOCteam|TPE|2004 Summer}} || 0 || 1 || 1 || 2
|- 
|rowspan="2"| 4 ||align="left"| {{flagIOCteam|CHN|2004 Summer}} || 0 || 1 || 0 || 1
|-

!colspan="2"| Total || 4 || 4 || 4 || 12

Rank Nation Gold Silver Bronze Total
1   South Korea (KOR) 3 1 0 4

3   Chinese Taipei (TPE) 0 1 1 2

  Japan (JPN) 0 1 0 1
6   Australia (AUS) 0 0 1 1
  Great Britain (GBR) 0 0 1 1
  Ukraine (UKR) 0 0 1 1
Total 4 4 4 12

Participating nations edit

Under this section, all nations that had competitors participating in one or more events of a specific sport are presented in a list:

  • Each participating nation should be listed through the use of {{flagIOC}}, which renders the nation's name, linked to its Games-specific participation article (as defined in the second, or games, parameter), alongside its flag;
  • If available, the exact number of competitors per nation in the sport should be added by specifying the template's third, or athletes, parameter with the integer number;

Example:

*{{flagIOC|TRI|2008 Summer|29}}
  • The list must be ordered alphabetically, according to the nations' English names, not by their IOC codes;
  • For sports where more than thirty (30) nations are represented, it is recommended to break the list into multiple columns. This can be done by employing templates from Category:Table templates, such as {{col-begin}} (starts a multi-column borderless table), {{col-end}} (closes the table) and the adequate column number-specifying template ({{col-n}}, where n is the number of columns):
  • Example (from Taekwondo at the 2004 Summer Olympics):

    {{col-begin}}
