Template:WikiProject Sports.
WikiProject Handball transcludes WikiProject Sports with the parameter Handball=yes, but WikiProject Sports does not have a Handball parameter.

- Apparently I created this many years ago as a redirect. No objection to it returning to same as long as this is done in such a way as to allow "handball" to be broken out in future whenever the handball fans get sufficiently organised to have their own sports subproject. Globally handball is pretty big, so we should allow for the possibility that its fans will eventually organise here.

- Looks like our assumption was that the WP Sports template would mimic the behavior of e.g. Template:WikiProject Africa. So can someone with spare time just implement a stub of that on WP Sports instead? No links to 'task forces' or 'portals', just the indicator which sport it's about, like the indicator for |auto=. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 21:20, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

But the exact same template is also used in completely valid locations and deleting the entire template is overkill and incorrect.
