Create articles
Articles that need creating to fill redlinks are listed at Most wanted articles.

Articles whose creation has been requested by other users are listed at Requested articles/sports.

Expand articles
Articles requiring expansion (stubs) are listed in Category:Water polo stubs. They are placed there by a variety of stub templates as listed on the category page.

You can help by choosing an article in that category and expanding it, removing the stub template and re-assessing the article.

Fix dead links
Over time, links used as references on pages become inactive (see WP:LINKROT). These links sometimes display the [dead link] notice. To fix links, you can use WayBack Machine, enter the original url and try to find an archived link. Once successful, you can add |archiveurl=|archivedate= inside the citation tag and remove the tag. To check the status of any particular Wikipedia page, you can use the Checklinks tool.

Assess articles
Articles are assessed using the criteria at Water polo work group/Assessment, you can use this criteria to change the assessment rating of any article covered by this project. You can also fulfill requests by other users to re-assess certain articles as listed at Requests for assessment.
