If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.SportsWikipedia:WikiProject SportsTemplate:WikiProject Sportssports

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:
- Add reliable sources. Experienced editors have free access to books on sports from McFarland.
- 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

Basic information to add to this article (in order to help make it more properly encyclopedic): the origin/etymology of the word "libero." Also, does this usage derive from the term "libero" as used in the sport of football? ~2026-20625-89 (talk) 23:55, 18 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
