There shall be an alphabetical list of all sports. There shall also be an organization of sports by categories. There shall be a listing of sport competitions, that involve multiple sports (e.g. the Olympics, the Commonwealth Games, the Maccabiah Games, the Good Will Games, etc.) -- competitions for particular sports, or groups of sports, would be better located on the page for that sport. The lists of competitions should be organized along the lines of what area of the world they involve -- i.e. are they global (e.g. the Olympics), restricted to a particular region of the world (Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa, etc.), or restricted to a particular country (in which case, they could be placed under a section on the sport in that particular country.) These lists shall be either on the main Sports page, or if they become too long on separate pages linked to by the main page.

Suggested topics:

Articles that cover a sport's general history must be categorised in Category:History of sports and a category specific to the history of that sport. Histories of specific events in a sport or covering a limited period only must not be categorised in the sports history category.
Currently, there are relatively few general histories about individual sports and most sports have their histories within the sport's own article (e.g., the history of boxing is in the main boxing article, whereas baseball has a history of baseball article). Until such time as a general history of the sport can be created, the main article must be included in the sports history category.
