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.

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

Bad rename

@Sillyfolkboy: I disagree with your renaming the category from Category:World champions by sport to Category:Sports world champions, and I dispute the edit summary "better phrasing". The old name was standard for a WP:metacategory and clearer on the category's nature and purpose. The parent categories are Category:Sports champions by sport and Category:World championships by sport, not Category:Sports champions and Category:Sports world championships. jnestorius^(talk) 00:18, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jnestorius: I disagree with you on that point, as I think sports champions should be the grandfather category for this topic. Now I look though, I think we're also missing the (parent) main category of Category:World champions which would seem to be quite a basic topic to categorise by. Or is that the same topic as here? I'm trying to think of non-sports world championships but I'm not sure if that's a thing (if not, we could move this topic). Do you want to raise this at categories for discussion for broader input? I can see multiple possible outcomes and I'm not 100% sure on a single outcome. SFB 00:36, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"I disagree with you on that point, as I think sports champions should be the grandfather category for this topic." — I don't understand; you disagree on what point? I did not propose that sports champions should become the parent category for this topic, or any change to the category hierarchy; I just want to move this category back to its previous name. jnestorius^(talk) 01:40, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
