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

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

- RfCs: answer requests for comment

Failure of section collapse mechanism in mobile view provoked by number of images[edit]

As mentioned at the help desk (by Bastewasket) and the village pump (technical), it appears that for performance reasons the section collapse feature on the mobile Wikipedia website breaks (or rather, is disabled) for pages with more than 1000 images. There is a workaround suggested in a Phabricator thread and in the Mediawiki mobile recommendations to replace images where possible with emojis. In this list the vast majority of the images are flags, for which slightly-stylized emojis exist: we'd be replacing Andorra with 🇦🇩, which in opinion is fine in exchange for better performance overall (page load/render time) and mobile user experience.

This list article is quite long, but replacement should be doable with a script. Any thoughts? I suppose there are other (long) list articles with the same problem. – Anon423 (talk) 02:42, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An alternative solution could be to split the article into two articles for each of the two constituent tables, Parents and children and Couples. However, the first seems to account for a large majority of the article size (and for this bug, the number of images), at approximately 1586 (if my count is correct), so it would still have this problem. – Anon423 (talk) 17:10, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cricketers[edit]

The article notes there's lots of omissions, and indeed there's dozens of major cricketers missing from this list. Off the top of my head there's Stephen and Jimmy Cook; and Peter and Shaun Pollock of South Africa. Hanif and Shoaib Mohammad; and Nazar Mohammad and Mudassar Nazar of Pakistan. Vijay and Sanjay Manjrekar of India. Walter and Richard Hadlee of New Zealand. Micky and Alec Stewart; Len and Richard Hutton; and Chris, Graeme and Colin Cowdrey of England. Geoff, Shaun and Mitchell Marsh of Australia. There's a list of English fathers and sons to play test cricket here - https://wisden.com/stories/like-father-like-son-every-father-son-duo-to-have-played-for-england - and similar lists for every test playing country are available.
