Talk:BWF World Championships

IBF World Championships, BWF World Championships or World Badminton Championships?
With the recent change from IBF to BWF, perhaps we should have to change the name of this article and every edition of this champs article too. I think actually it isn't the correct name. For example, this year world championships will be also 2007 IBF World Championships, 2007 BWF World Championshps or 2007 World Badminton Championships? My vote is for World Badminton Championships, in order to join the former world champs (IBF) with the new one's (BWF). What do you think about it?? MontanNito 13:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I prefer for Official Name, perhaps we can make it clear about former name in article, however BWF have not yet announce the official name for 2007 tournament, so wait until the official release. Thank you. The late move will not affect anything, we can use move button any day. --Aleen f 1 13:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok, I think it's a good idea. The only "problem" I see is that some championship editions will be name IBF World Championships (until 2006), and others (since 2007) BWF World Championships, if this is the official name. Anyway, the official name should be the best option. We we'll talk more about it when we know it. MontanNito 14:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The name of past championships should not be changed unless the BWF decide to re-name them apriori.--Nitsansh 22:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

bd or flagcountry
Based on this revision. I see that User:Fahrurozi.86 changed flagcountry (representing country) to bd (representing national badminton team) in the medal table. But, as i know competing in the BWF World Championships, players representing their country not their national badminton team. Ex: Players can have partner from different nation in the doubles event (Petya Nedelcheva of Bulgaria and Anastasia Russkikh of Russia). Need other opinion cc: User:Florentyna, User:Griff88 Thank you Stvbastian (talk) 15:05, 29 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Agree bd should be limited to TUC/Sudirman and other team championships. Griff88 (talk) 13:44, 30 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Comments Somehow players are send by Badminton Association, I'm stay neutral on this, either can be done. --Aleen f 1 15:09, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Proposal related to featuring this event at Wikipedia:In the news
You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:In the news § Remove ITN/R: Sports cleanup. &#x0020; Currently this event is listed at In the news/Recurring items, meaning that it has been judged significant enough that, if nominated, it will always be posted to the In the news section of the main page (subject to article quality being sufficient). However as it has not been nominated recently as proposal has been made to remove it from that list. If the proposal is successful, the event may still be nominated but the nomination will debate the significance of the event as well as article quality. To avoid splitting discussion, please leave your comments in at the linked discussion rather than here. Thryduulf (talk) 20:41, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Major RfC on capitalization of all our articles
I thought this was a done deal back in this 2022 RFC but obviously not. A handful of editors did another rfc with no sports projects input at all. And it's being challenged because we just noticed it. This could affect almost every single tennis and Olympic article we have, and goodness know how many other sports. Some may have already been moved it you weren't watching the article. And not just the article titles will be affected but all the player bios that link to the articles. Sure the links would be piped to the right place if thousands of articles moved, but if the wording in a bio still said 2023 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles or Swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's 200 metre backstroke that would likely need to be changed by hand. There is also talk of removing the ndash completely.

Perhaps this is what sports projects want and perhaps not. Either way I certainly don't want projects ill-informed as the last RfC was handled. Express your thoughts at the following rfc. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:17, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
