Template:Canada-athletics-bio-stub → Template:Canada-trackandfield-bio-stub – In Canadian English "athletics" means all sports, as exemplified by University athletics departments (ie. UBC Thunderbirds), which handle all sports and various athletics clubs (such as the Montreal AAA which handle all sports. The term in Canada is "track and field", so the stubtype should match Canadian English WP:ENGVAR ; As currently named, the stubtype in Canadian English is identical in meaning to Canada-sport-bio-stub, but is is supposed to be for track and field.

Discussion

 * Any additional comments:


 * This is a bit tricky. I'm supportive of the overall goal here, but we probably ultimately want Canada-athletics-bio-stub to redirect to Canada-sport-bio-stub, and the latter is used in almost 700 articles. Perhaps we could temporarily deprecate Canada-athletics until its current uses are cleaned up, and then redirect it to Canada-trackandfield? On the other hand, compare to US-athletics-bio-stub. Perhaps it would be better to just leave this alone. --BDD (talk) 18:03, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
