Medals by sport

Since the discussion was initiated in the United States at the Olympics (discussion) , all disciplines should be listed individually or, as has been the case so far, grouped for some sports and their disciplines together in the sport itself.

In this specific case it's about Cycling and Canoeing. The disciplines for Cycling (Track cycling, Road cycling, BMX racing, BMX freestyle, Mountain biking) and Canoeing (Canoe sprint,Slalom canoeing) were listed individually in the table unlike to other NOC articles .I changed these in United States at the Olympics for consistency, but I suspect that other opinions should be heard here to prevent an edit war, as it was reverted by @Monerals -> misunderstanding here, not intentional, question still remains.

And if we really want to list strictly according to disciplines, should we then orientate on the Olympic sports table and, for example, also list the equestrian disciplines (dressage, eventing, jumping) individually in the Medals by sport table? The only exceptions so far are only four sports, where the disciplines grouped together in the medal table:

• Cycling (Track cycling, Road cycling, BMX racing, BMX freestyle, Mountain biking)
• Canoeing (Canoe sprint,Slalom canoeing)
• Equestrian (dressage, eventing, jumping)
• Wrestling (Freestyle, Greco-Roman)

I feel like it should be evaluated country-by-country. For the USA (who have a lot of medals in a lot of sports) it probably makes sense to combine them. On the other hand, for a country like Cuba where there are half as many medal categories it probably wouldn't hurt to err on the side of being more specific. Primefac (talk) 10:48, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Gymanstics: I also saw that in some NOC articles the disciplines in Gymnastics are combined and for others are not (separated in United States at the Olympics#Medals by summer sport and combined in Russia at the Olympics#Medals by Summer Sports).

Swimming: Another case to note is Swimming at the Olympics. Sometimes Marathon Swimming is combined in Swimming at the medals table and sometimes separately (separated in Australia at the Olympics#Medals by summer sport and combined in Netherlands at the Olympics#Medals by summer sport).

A manual of style for the olympic articles would be desirable, but as far as I'm concerned it can also be considered country-specific, even if it would then be subjective. Miria~01 (talk) 12:22, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

I don't think it's right for the decision to be country-specific because that leaves a big opening for edit wars. In my opinion, it is better to reach a consent regarding a guiding rule. For example, what is considered a lot of medals for a country? Are there sports that we will always separate the disciplines from or unite them (athletics, for example)? Nimrodbr (talk) 19:10, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

@Nimrodbr:

Disciplines separated (all with genuine team sports)	Disciplines combined
Aquatics (Artistic Swimming, Diving, Marathon Swimming, Water Polo) Basketball (3x3, Basketball) Baseball and Softball (Baseball, Softball) Rugby (Union*, Sevens) Handball (Field*, Indoor) Volleyball (Beach, Indoor)	Ahletics (48 Disciplines) Gymnastics (Artistic, Rhythmic, Trampoline) Cycling (Track cycling, Road cycling, BMX racing, BMX freestyle, Mountain biking) Canoeing (Canoe sprint,Slalom canoeing) Equestrian (dressage, eventing, jumping) Wrestling (Freestyle, Greco-Roman)

One could argue that the disciplines are always listed separately, if the sport includes a genuine team sport. This also applies to aquatics with water polo. Or in this way: Only all real team sports and their disciplines are listed separately and aquatics is also considered an exception by consensus. ... And disciplines of winter sports should always be listed separately. Miria~01 (talk) 12:00, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

1896 Summer Olympics

I'm thinking about rerunning this one in late July at WP:Today's featured article. It was promoted to FA back in 2005, but I've run some automated checks on the article that turned out fine, and people have done a good job keeping up with questions on the talk page. It reads well.

Is it necessary to list the opening ceremony in a timeline of qualification events for each sport's qualification article? I don't think its necessary, with the timeline being left to just qualification events and dates. Thoughts? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:12, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Could you give an example page? The few sports I keep track of don't seem to have this. Primefac (talk) 23:24, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Judo/2024 Olympics is the only one. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:26, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

I removed it but there was some objection. But if there is a wider consensus to have them included, then we can add it back. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:26, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Special:Diff/1233403041 for the record. I don't see why that information needs to be included, it's not really part of the qualification timeline (especially if it's not listed for any other sports). Primefac (talk) 23:29, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

I totally agree with you. I can't recall it being on any qualification article including events outside the Olympics as well. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:30, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Agree with the removal. It's not part of the process. Kante4 (talk) 07:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

I think we have consensus for removal? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 22:06, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

I support removal as it seems irrelevant. Schwede66 23:30, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
