Parameters
All parameters are optional.


 * : The name of the sport; this is usually the same as the name of the article, unless it has been disambiguated. E.g., . Capitalization should match article title. If this attribute is omitted, the name will be inferred from the page title.
 * : the filename of an image to use (without "Image:" or "File:" prefix), e.g.
 * : Alt text for the image. This is read out by screen readers for the visually impaired, and is displayed in place of the image when images are switched off. The caption text will immediately follow the alt text, so the two should be considered together in creating the alternative text for an image.
 * : the width in pixels for the image, e.g.  Larger than 300 is not recommended. If this attribute is omitted, the image will default to 125px width.
 * : A caption for the image, e.g.  Captions should complement the image by bringing out details or issues that are not visually obvious. See Manual of Style/Captions.
 * : The highest officiating body associated with the sport, e.g. FIFA for association football.
 * : One or more (comma-separated) nicknames of the sport. Non-English names should not be put here, unless they are frequent in English. E.g., . Capitalize only the first nickname (unless one or more other ones are proper names).
 * : Year (or century, if year unknown) and location the game was first played in some recognizable form. For very specific modern games (e.g. snooker plus), use as specific a date as possible, for that particular game not any ancestral forms. For a broader sense of "sport", more generality may be used (e.g. for cue sports). Do not link these dates. Examples:   or   or  . For location, it is unnecessary to link countries or general regions unless obscure.
 * : Alternate label text for the "first" parameter, for cases where "First played" in not appropriate, e.g. Auto racing.
 * : Geographic area(s) the sport is present. Use the largest geographic area(s) that apply. If, for example, If the sport has presence in every province in Canada, list Canada, do not list each province. Values can be narrow (e.g. a city), sub-national ("Western and northern China", "Texas and Louisiana"), multi-national in several ways ("Latvia and Estonia", "pan-European", "Latin America, Spain and the Philippines", etc.), and "Worldwide" is used for global sports

 * : How many clubs have registered with this sport's affiliated governing bodies?
 * : Is this a contact sport? Typical values are  or , though something more specific could be put here (e.g.  , etc.)
 * : Size of teams. Various values are possible, such as:, or  ,  , etc.
 * : Is this a mixed-gender sport? Various answers can be used here:,  ,  , etc.

 * :  or year of acceptance into the Paralympic Games and link to appropriate article (e.g. , if any. Other values can be used, e.g.  , or  .  Omit this field entirely when irrelevant (e.g. medieval games that are now extinct).
 * :  or year of acceptance into the World Games and link to appropriate article (e.g. , if any. Other values can be used, e.g.  , or  .  Omit this field entirely when irrelevant (e.g. medieval games that are now extinct).


 * : Is this game obsolete? Any value, such as  or   will cause this field to display as "Yes". ; do not use   or   (that will not work). A game is obsolete if it has zero or near-zero living players.  Just because a folk game has been "replaced" by a standardized game with a national governing body does not necessarily mean that it is obsolete (cf. stickball, which evolved into baseball but is still played).
