Requested articles (Sports)
Requested articles (Association football)
Requested articles (Association football women)

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

bgcolor issues[edit]

The template needs to account for an empty (i.e. not omitted) bgcolor parameter. If someone copies the template prototype, they're most likely to leave fields blank, not remove them completely, and this was causing the default background (#eee) color not to be used.

The usual way to fix this is to use the #if parserfunction, but this seems to be causing a newline or something, so that the '#' in any filled-in bgcolor parameter is interpreted as wiki-markup for an ordered list. I'm not sure why this is happening, and I'm not sure if the standard workarounds (using named colors, for one) work in this case, since the template is meant to support hex-coded colors. I'm trying a few fixes. The template isn't widely-used, and the bgcolor even less so, so hopefully my messing around won't have a major impact... --Fru1tbat (talk) 21:17, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed change[edit]

I recommend adding an "awards" field to the template to summarize recognition for a broadcasting career. For example, Gemini Awards, Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award, etc. Any comments? Flibirigit (talk) 00:24, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
