From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The WikiProject Australian sports is a project to better organise information in articles related to sport in Australia.

Articles maintained by this WikiProject are grouped in Category:WikiProject Australian sports articles by using the sports=yes parameter within the {{WP Australia}} template. Articles more relevant to descendant projects use their own parameters. sports-importance={top|mid|high|low} can be used to rate the importance of the article to the WikiProject.

Usage: {{WP Australia|sports=yes|sports-importance=???}}
