(Redirected from WikiProject Sports Olympics)
A few Wikipedians have gotten together to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about the Olympics. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!

Title
WikiProject Sports Olympics
[edit]
Scope
This WikiProject aims primarily to describe a template for information about the Olympic Games. It could be generalized to include other multiple-sport competitions, such as the Pan-American Games.
[edit]
Parentage
The parent of this WikiProject is the WikiProject Sports.
[edit]
Descendant Wikiprojects
- While it is not entirely a WikiProject, the Olympic conventions collaboration is designed to allow users to post discussion topics about the format of Olympic pages and let other users comment on them, leading to a consensus on how to format that particular topic.

Structure
[edit]
Main pages
Main Pages should follow these formats:
- A main Olympic Games page.
- This page should go into the general history of the games (perhaps the ancient games deserve a separate page), and also explain why the Olympics are currently so important.
- A Summer Olympic Games and Winter Olympic Games page.
- These should give general information about the topic, and give a short history of them (the current Summer Olympic Games page is quite good), link to sports conducted there (past and present).
- A page for each separate Games.
- Use the convention "(Year) (Season) Olympics". This appears to be the most commonly used form in English language, even though the official naming is in the form of "Games of the I Olympiad" (Summer Games) and "V Winter Olympic Games" (Winter Games). One should make a redirect page for at least these official names, and perhaps also for other forms: "1948 Olympic Winter Games", "1948 Winter Olympic Games". See below for more details.
[edit]
Events pages
Pages for Olympic sports and events should follow these formats:
- Pages for each sport at each Games
- ex: Snowboarding at the 2006 Winter Olympics
- Subpages for events, if necessary
- ex: Snowboarding at the 2006 Winter Olympics - Men's Halfpipe.
- Summary pages for each sport
- ex: Snowboarding at the Winter Olympics.
[edit]
Country pages
Pages for participating nations should follow these formats:
- Pages for each nation at each Games
- ex: United States at the 2006 Winter Olympics.
- Summary pages for each nation
- ex: Canada at the Winter Olympics and United States at the Summer Olympics.
[edit]
Olympics articles
The sections of the individual Olympics pages should look similar to this:
- Brief introduction.
- Per convention, this should be the first sentence:
- Facts table template.
- Next, a table with basic facts and information is added, using the template below. Some figures may differ for different sources, so quote them if this is the case. In case a specific entry is not applicable, fill in "not applicable", or leave blank.
- Highlights.
- The following section should give the highlights of these Olympics. In case the highlights are more than just a few paragraphs, divide it into subsections: Prologue, Day 1, Day 2, ..., Epilogue. Here, the prologue could deal with relevant information about the world situation at the time of the Games (this, a.o., is relevant for the boycotts 1976-1988), the process for choosing the host city, and other remarks (for example, Salt Lake City 2002 should have some story about the bribery scandal surrounding its election). Day 1 to Day X can contain the sportive and other highlights of that day. Epilogue can focus on events in the aftermath of the Games, doping cases, decisions made on basis of events during the Games. Perhaps some additional subsections are useful for events that may not be captured in a single day, such as the terrorist attack in 1972 (there's even a Wikipedia article for that), the Atlanta 1996 bombing, Nazism at the 1936 Olympics.
- Sports.
- The next section should give a list of links to pages with the medal winners of each sport. The section should simply provide the links to "Y at the XXXX W/S Olympics", where Y is the sport.
- Medal count.
- The medal count section should give a top-ten table with the medals won by nation, sorted by gold, silver, bronze. This table should link to the full medal table. The template for the table is given below.
For an example, look at 2006 Winter Olympics.
[edit]
Other pages
- Medal counts
- A full medal count should be compiled for each games. This table should show and be sorted by the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals won by each nation at that Olympics. A rank column and a total medals column should also be added.
- Opening ceremony
- A page should be dedicated to the events that occur at the opening ceremonies of each games.
- Closing ceremony
- A page should be dedicated to the events that occur at the closing ceremonies of each games.
- Olympic bids
- A page should be dedicated to the Olympic bid process for the choosing of the host city.
- Other sub pages may also be used to denote a certain city's bid for that Olympics.
[edit]
Hierarchy Definition
Olympic Games will link to Sports page. See this example on dividing a topic into a hierarchy.
See 1896 Summer Olympics.
[edit]
General Strategy and Discussion forum
- /General
- /Strategy
- /Articles Summer
- /Articles Winter
- These last two pages include two tables - Events by Year and Country by Year - which can be used to keep track of which events and countries were involved with each game. They can be used to quickly check where Wikipedia is missing relevant Olympics articles (Summer and Winter).

Sport Pages
A page regarding a sport at an Olympics should look approximately like this.
- In the introduction sentence(s), link to the full article on the Olympics and to the sport concerned.
- Place a medal table for the sport as well as a medal summary.
- Create a section for each of the events held.
For an example, look at Fencing at the 1896 Summer Olympics.
A medal summary should look something like this:
| Event | Gold | Silver | Bronze |
|---|---|---|---|
| Event name | Flag, name nation | Flag, name nation | Flag, name nation |
