Assess : newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status.
Cleanup : * Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state) * Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) * Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing. * Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."
User:Falcadore, I think you are misunderstanding WP:REDNOT. If you read a bit further, it says An exception is red links in navboxes where the red-linked articles are part of a series or a whole set. That's what this template is - the whole set of governing bodies. If you have separate additions/corrections, fill free to restore them, but the redlinks should stay.

That's pretty tenuous. You could make "series or a whole set" mean almost anything you like as the purpose of nav boxes is to collect related articles for ease of navigation.
I put it to you that "series or a whole set" needs to be much more specific than a collection of sporting governing bodies, otherwise why suggest redlinks should not be used in nav boxes at all? Looks to me like this is a case of using the letter of the law to defeat the spirit of the law. --Falcadore (talk) 09:00, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is a navigational box. By stating it's a template and its contents represents part of a series you are effectively rendering pointless the statement that redlinks should not be used in navigation boxes because you can just say "Oh its a template and part of a series so I can ignore it and you". If redlinks are supposed to be used in nav boxes then why state at all that it should not? Since it states nav boxes specifically against the used of redlinks, don't you think that it should take precedence over the broader template definition?
