Template talk:Team Sport

I'm not sure about this. This could get very big indeed! Mintguy (T) 21:20, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

If and when this grows too big, it can be simply broken into separate templates for groups of similar sports. No need to make strict rules about what should be included. Wipe 08:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Variants

Should variants of team sports belong here ? Not sure about Futsal. If it belongs there it should probably be grouped with football(soccer) given that it is governed by FIFA. --Spewmaster 00:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I think Futsal is different from soccer as Baseball is different from Softball and Canadian football from American football, aren't they? --Cpt.Miller 13:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bowling?

Is bowling a sport? Corpx 17:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

maybe, but it is not a team sport. --Howard the Duck 03:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grouping

I'm inclined to put polo and hockey into a navbox subgroup under stick-and-ball sports. They all share the common feature of maneuvering a ball (or puck) towards a goal with a type of stick: hockey is distinguished by having the ball rolling or sliding along the ground, while polo is distinguished by the use of a mount.

Also, as sepak takraw is essentially volleyball with feet instead of hands, I think it should be put in the volleyball section (which would be more descriptive than "other").

Thoughts? — Gwalla | Talk 23:25, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm not into this grouping of sports into "codes", that is just broad generalization, and it is certainly not scientific. We can speak of football codes, for instance, since they all developed from the same sport, but, say, waterpolo is most certainly not a "code" of handball. This template was much better before, generalizing seems to have gone out of hand now. Zhelja (talk) 01:58, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Thus water polo is listed as other codes Gnevin (talk) 23:15, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
