Video Template talk:Current sport
Perlindungan Februari 2006
I have protected this template against editing by non-admins. The reason is that these templates are repeatedly tampered with, and are currently in many articles related to the 2006 Winter Olympics. Johntex \ talk 02:15, 12 February 2006 (UTC )
- I have opened this template, because the risk of vandalism has subsided now as the Olympics have ended. Templates are not used near many articles. --Aude ( talk | contribs ) 23:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Ideas for templates
Well what do you guys add the "small" option like a protected template have? Here I have played it. I've also moved the image in the case of protection so the images will not be more than one another. if small = yes big thing will be lost. Chandler talk 14:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
"Information may change during an event."
Saying "Information may change during the event" looks silly, because the score changes always . I changed it to "Information will change during the event", but it has air that does not need to be inhaled by it. I finally set "Scores and other results will change with the event", which seems like a decent compromise. --Steve Summit (talk) 16:02, October 28, 2007 (UTC)
- I have changed it again. Templates in use are more common than just for games, and scores. It's also different from other {{current}} templates to have different text. - Yellowdesk 19:31, November 11, 2007 (UTC)
Template must be changed
So, seeing lower lower templates is being removed, e.g. Motor sport today etc, I think we should not have football in the template page, but something more neutral and generic. The same is true for future sports templates. D.M.N. (talk) 20:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Consistent set of images
In using image parameters, I propose to have a set of images encoded with a #switch statement to maintain some kind of consistency. If not, for example, a tennis article may have a different image than another tennis article. Applause. Zzyzx11 (Speech) 23:22, June 1, 2008 (UTC)
Category
Category: Current sports events have nearly 600 articles listed. I am wondering if it is possible to have Category: Current American football event, Category: Current basketball events, etc.? We can use templates to place them in new categories based on what images are used. --Pinkkeith (talk) 16:35, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

- The use of this template is completely unreasonable. Hundreds of sports teams and leagues that may have one or two edits a day, or weeks, are marked with this template. Tens of thousands of other articles have more edits than most articles that are marked with {{current sport}}. This is with an introduction to my view that the addition of an additional categorization to an excessive template is an exercise in an unnecessary subdivision. In general this template fails to improve the quality of each article placed on, by not actually adding specific information to its article or lede content, or its quote - all of which are better able to clearly state the nature of the recent update of the article (or absence) of this generic template - Yellowdesk (talk) 01:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Parser Function
Why not use the Parser Function to determine the use of images and text in this template? This can save you more time for the user to look back at the image. I can try to do it if someone agrees. --Institute f 1 09:11, October 23, 2008 (UTC)
Change the words?
Should words be changed from "information may change" to "information be changed?" I mean, the article on the current sporting event is going to change, right? without faith ( talk ) 04:11 , December 11, 2008 (UTC)
Adding & amp; apply the guidelines
I recently started applying the "current events" guideline (which I've added to the documentation of this template (and others)) to this template and received some contradictions, so I want to start a discussion here on whether the guideline should be in the first place , and whether they should be applied accordingly.
What damage did this template do? The template shows that the article is about the current sporting event whose information may change as the event progresses. When a reader opens an article, he can immediately tell if the event is still up to date, without needing to find out reading the introduction or more information. These templates are deleted when the event ends (not left in the article) so... what's the problem with having this template? If a template (like Conti says) for quick editing, then the template should say so or a new template should be created for this type of article. Qampunen (talk) 22:43, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- The question should not be "Is there a danger?", should "Does this improve the encyclopedia?". And, in my opinion, no. The fact that something is going on is important right now, yes, but that's why we mention it in an article. Adding the box above says exactly the same, for people who do not bother reading the articles they open, it is just excessive and unnecessary. We can create a template that announces the latest results of a tournament. Usually the "current" template says "Information can change quickly". It's changed to "Information is subject to change", because "fast" information changes not in 99% of articles. So maybe that word should be reintroduced to explain what the template is. --Conti |? 9:30, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
What is meant by "changing [ing] quickly "?
I have other users protesting the entry of this template on pages like the 2012 Championship Championship and 2012 Masters (snooker) while the event is in progress, on the grounds that the template documentation does not specify how many edits per day are required before this template applies, and he does not feel the frequency their edits, for match updates, are eligible (see edit summary, and User talk: Armbrust # Template: Current sports, where Armbrust suggests that templates should not be used unless there are 30 edits per day). My perception is that an article like this, with its editing rate when the event occurs, is exactly what this template looks like. Thirty changes per day seemed like a bar too high for me; in essence, this template is relevant if it is possible that the reader will see information that is substantially different on the same day, e.g. between morning and evening, as the event has been updated.
I think this is strongly related to, but not completely overlapping, the thread guidelines are immediately above. The overall problem is that this template does not seem to have any criteria at all, internal to documentation or externally within the guidelines, for its use. As a result, this is the editwarring target. - SMcCandlish Talk =>? ( ÃÆ' â ⬠¢ ? ? )? Contribs. 21:18, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
