Wikipedia:WikiProject Olympics/Summer articles

Articles
The Summer Olympic Games-related articles are named according to one of the following six types of titles:


 * 1. [Year] Summer Olympics: For articles describing each edition of the Summer Olympic Games (e.g. 1952 Summer Olympics);


 * 2. [Sport] at the Summer Olympics: For articles describing the history and evolution of a specific Olympic sport at the Summer Olympic Games (e.g. Athletics at the Summer Olympics);


 * 3. [Country] at the Olympics: For articles describing the history and performance of a specific National Olympic Committee (NOC) at the Olympic Games (e.g. Greece at the Olympics);


 * 4. [Country] at the [Year] Summer Olympics: For articles describing the performance of a specific NOC at a specific edition of the Summer Olympic Games (e.g. Greece at the 1952 Summer Olympics);


 * 5. [Sport] at the [Year] Summer Olympics: For articles describing the global results in a specific sport at a specific edition of the Summer Olympic Games (e.g. Athletics at the 1952 Summer Olympics);


 * 6. [Sport] at the [Year] Summer Olympics – [Event]: For articles describing the results of a specific sport's event (if the sport has multiple events, e.g. swimming) at a specific edition of the Summer Olympic Games (e.g. Athletics at the 1952 Summer Olympics – Men's pole vault).

The first three types are considered "main level" pages, meaning they are at the top of the page hierarchy and hold similar but independent ranks within the project. They are the "parent" articles from which the following two page types (4 & 5) are derived. The last type (6) derives from type 5 for multi-event sports/disciplines.

Templates
There are also many templates which help with the navigation between related Summer articles. These template pages are named in the following manner:


 * 1. Template : [Sport] at the Summer Olympics: To navigate between per-Games articles of a specific Summer Olympic sport (e.g. Template:Athletics at the Summer Olympics);


 * 2. Template : Events at the [Year] Summer Olympics: To navigate between articles of all sports at a specific Summer Olympic Games edition (e.g. Template:Events at the 1952 Summer Olympics).

Progress tables
The following tables display the existing Summer Olympics-related articles and templates together with non-existing articles and templates that are planned to be created. This helps the WikiProject to assess its development, the current coverage and where work is still needed.

Notice that due to factual reasons, concerning the history of the Summer Olympic Games, some articles are not supposed to be created, even though a place for a possible article might appear in some of the tables (e.g. 1940 Summer Olympics opening ceremony). For the same reason, it is not reasonable to create templates for sports which were contested only once at Olympic level (e.g. Template:Jeu de paume at the Summer Olympics).

Sports per Games
The table presents a full set of article series featuring the history and results of every Olympic sport (past and current) at each edition of the Summer Olympics. It shows type 1 articles in the top row, type 2 articles in a left-hand column, and type 5 articles in the table body.

The two sets of templates previously mentioned are also shown as linked "T"s. Those displayed in a column correspond to type 1 templates, while the ones displayed in a row correspond to type 2 templates. These templates are to be transcluded at the bottom of each page, for navigational purposes.

Other articles per Games
The table presents other types of articles per edition of the Summer Olympics, such as (opening and closing) ceremonies, medal counts, Olympic stadia, host cities and bid campaigns.

NOC per Games
The table presents several sequences of articles corresponding to every documented National Olympic Committee's participation history at the Summer Olympics. It shows type 3 articles in a left-hand column and type 5 articles in the table body.

NOCs are ordered by their attendance record — from the most attending NOCs at the top to the least attending ones at the bottom; if NOCs share attendance figures, they are ordered by alphabetical order. Historically related NOCs are shown grouped in between gray horizontal bars, while currently non-existing NOCs have their name in italics and in a light red background.
