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

Notification[edit]

I am wondering whether it is time to remove the "Sports events" link from the top of Portal:Current events. Editors watching this page may like to comment at Portal talk:Current events#Worldwide current events/Sports events. -- John of Reading (talk) 13:00, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Editors interested in this page may also be interested in Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Current events/Sports. -- John of Reading (talk) 16:14, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Father/Son Challenge[edit]

The PNC Father/Son Challenge, while it is an unofficial event, is in fact a Champions Tour event, plus it is an event of high interest. That's why I thought it should be on the page. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 06:40, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What happened[edit]

As a sport lover I'm watching this page first. I'm not a wikipedia editor much but it's seems not much update happening anymore. 88.244.22.123 (talk) 15:56, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Current sporting seasons[edit]

In the Current sporting seasons section, is the intent to list only active (ongoing) seasons, or more broadly list "timely" seasons? I ask because some listed seasons, such as European League of Football and German Football League, have already ended. I wanted to check before clearing such entries.

Why is Six Nations not listed?[edit]

The rugby Six Nations is a massive sporting event, it should be listed, no? TwoTrappy22 (talk) 20:26, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is notable (especially in the UK and France, but it is also popular in some other countries). I will add this to the current sports events section in the portal. WL Pro for life (talk) 02:10, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I already added it. WL Pro for life (talk) 02:14, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
