Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

The sorting of subcategories in this category is inconsistent. What should be done with it?
Two sorting types are used in here at present:
- Alphabetically by sport (e.g. Category:IFAF World Championship is sorted under "A" for "American football", instead of under "I" for "IFAF")
- Alphabetically by subcategory base name (e.g. Category:ICC World Twenty20 is sorted under "I" for "ICC" instead of "C" for "Cricket").
Additionally, someone has been adding sortkeys to some subcats (e.g. "+Cue sports" to Category:Cue sports world championships) to create a separate list above the A–Z listing, by sport.
Above all of that are some "*" sorts to put a few overarching entries at the top, e.g. Category:Women's world championships, which seems fine. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 22:52, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- The "+" seems to have been taken out.
- I would (i) leave the special ones at the top, (ii) use the sport name only if it appears within the category name, and otherwise (iii) use the category name rather than the sport name, but ignoring the word "World". – Fayenatic London 23:33, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Be sure, the subcategories by sport should be sorted separately, above the "A-Z listing". They included Category:Skiing world competitions, Category:World championships in sailing, Category:World motorcycle racing series, Category:Gymnastics world championships, Category:Cue sports world championships, Category:Contract bridge world competitions, Category:World auto racing series. I have used "+" as sortkey for such categories. Per WP:SORTKEY: Use other sort keys beginning with a space (or an asterisk or a plus sign) for any "List of ..." and other pages that should appear after the key article and before the main alphabetical listings. The same technique is sometimes used to bring particular subcategories to the start of the list. In other case, child subcategory Category:World championships by sport should be created. Also, create the child subcategory Category:World cup competitions for events listed in ((Main world cups)) with World cup competition as main article for it. 95.133.219.133 (talk) 01:11, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
