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."
When creating this template and the accompanying Lua module, I planned for Module:Team roster navbox to be the reusable component across leagues. I intended to one day extend the module to support a configuration parameter that would point to a Lua data page containing league-specific information, such as the colours to use in the navbox. Thus each separate league could have their own navbox that would use the module. So while I appreciate the desire to generalize this template, the net result is that some day in the future I may recreate an MLB roster navbox, which would call the Lua module with an MLB-specific configuration parameter. isaacl (talk) 23:38, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this template should either be generalised (to cover nowrapping of any list) or made more specific (just for adding colours for teams in a particular league). currently, all it does is add some non-breaking spaces, which is only needed after the removal of nowrap from hlist. there is a thread about merging the nowrap functionality into module:navbox, see template talk:navbox.

Yes, another reason I purposefully kept the scope restricted to MLB rosters was that I was only addressing one specific, small request made by editors interested in updating MLB rosters, and I'm not sure it is effective to position the template in its current form for use by all sports. If the base navbox module can be extended to accommodate the intended functionality, all the better. isaacl (talk) 00:50, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yep. The documentation shows {{NLCS MVP}} as an example, so it's already gone beyond only rosters in its usefulness. I'm just starting to apply it to non-baseball sports (I did the NFL and NBA roster navboxes yesterday). – Muboshgu (talk) 20:47, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A applied this to Template:50Chargers. While the individual number–players combos aren't wrapped anymore, the higher level position groupings (depending on your screen, I see the TE and DB groups) are still being wrapped. Yes, I am getting greedy :-) —Bagumba (talk) 23:31, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
